Carmen Doncel

The classes I had with Carmen were fun and extremely productive. I realized straight away that she is a professional teacher with a lot of experience, which makes a huge difference—especially when preparing for an exam or a language proficiency test. She helped me immensely in planning my progress in Spanish and provided me with a lot of valuable materials to elevate my Spanish to the next level. I highly recommend booking classes with her!

Carmen is one of the best teachers I have ever known. She has the perfect combination of qualities to keep me moving forward. While she is unquestionably kind and supportive, she is also focused and organized. She made a deliberate effort to understand my needs and interests and formulated a detailed plan to achieve those objectives. Most importantly, her methodology has produced results. Right now, without a formal assessment, I can't say for sure how much progress I have made in the two months that I have been working with Carmen, but I am more confident, and that confidence has enabled me to better access my learning. Carmen created the environment that has led me to this point, and I am so grateful for her skilled and thoughtful instruction.

I’ve really been enjoying my general lessons with Carmen, she’s professional and an organised person who you can still have a natural free flowing conversation with about whatever topic. Also, I’m glad I did my B1 DELE prep with her because the tips and guidance from her as an examiner helped me to pass first time! 😀 I will definitely continue with my post-DELE general lessons with Carmen so that I can continue to improve in all 4 skill areas - reading, writing, speaking and listening. Because I know with her it will happen 😌

Ya he tomado clases con Carmen durante casi 3 meses y la experiencia ha sido fenomenal. Me ha motivado muchísimo y siempre me ha dado muchos comentarios muy útiles que me animan. Gracias a ella, pude presentarme al examen DELE B2 con tranquilidad. Espero seguir aprendiendo con ella para mejorar mi español aún más.

Carmen is extremely organised and ensures that every minute is well spent. She is as knowledgeable as any teacher I’ve had in 10 years learning the language. Very structured lessons.
