“Dear LTN’ team,
Time flies, and I’ve already been studying here for almost a year. I can still remember the mix of excitement and nervousness when I first arrived in Nottingham. After living in China for over thirty years, moving to a completely unfamiliar country was a whole new experience. Beyond the differences in culture and lifestyle, the language barrier was definitely the biggest challenge. The English I learned in China was mostly American-accented, so when I was suddenly immersed in an environment with British English, I found it confusing and hard to adjust. Learning the language became my top priority so that I could better integrate into life here in Nottingham. I feel incredibly fortunate to have found a school I love, with wonderful teachers who have helped me gain confidence in speaking up. This has been so important to me. Each teacher feels more like a friend, offering immense patience and encouragement. The classes are lively and humorous, creating a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere. At the same time, the teachers are very professional, carefully observing our moods and any confusion, and adjusting to help us immediately. I also appreciate the regular, detailed feedback on my progress, as it not only helps me learn but also makes me feel truly seen and supported. The school has created an amazing social environment too. Besides our cozy classrooms, we have a large social corner where students from all over the world can easily make friends, play games, and experience the diversity of world cultures. I should also mention the school’s fantastic location in the city center, which makes getting to the station, dining, and shopping so convenient. In short, I absolutely love my school and my teachers. Moving forward, I hope to improve my English fluency and make even more friends. Thank you so much to my lovely teachers! I wish you all success in work and happiness in life!”

“Dear Angela, I hope you are OK. I am writing to report on our afternoon at the Language Tuition Nottingham. The experience was great, our students loved it. They enjoyed the group work and the dynamic teachers, as well as the variety of the activities and the subjects dealt with. The levels were well adapted to the students who could enjoy the full content of the classes and express themselves openly. This was a successful experience, so thank you very much for preparing all this for us. Please thank all the teachers who participated. Also, thank you for your warm welcoming of both students and teachers!”.

“Dear Loli and Angelica, I hope this email finds you well. As the new semester begins, I wanted to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude for your invaluable support and guidance throughout the last semester. Yangni and I both got 70+ in our Spanish course. Your dedication to teaching and your passion for the Spanish language have truly made a significant impact on my learning journey. Your patience, encouragement, and willingness to go above and beyond to ensure that I understood the material did not go unnoticed, and I am incredibly grateful for all the time and effort you invested in me. I look forward to the opportunity to continue learning from you both in the upcoming semester. I wanted to share with you that I have recently concluded my exchange program at the University of Nottingham in January and have returned to the University of Nottingham Ningbo China. While I am back in Ningbo, my classmate, Yangni, remains in the UK. Despite the physical distance, we both remain eager to continue our Spanish language studies together. With this in mind, I wanted to inquire whether you offer online Spanish classes. If so, could you kindly provide details regarding the structure of the classes, availability, and pricing? Knowing that we could continue our studies with you, even from different parts of the world, would be incredibly reassuring and exciting for both of us. Thank you once again for your exceptional teaching and support. I look forward to hearing from you soon and hopefully continuing our Spanish language journey together”

“I really like that free #English lessons are offered to support those who can’t afford them, and also the desire to make those lessons valuable to the students, not just a way to train the people as an English teacher as a second language”.

“I really love the Spanish lessons. The teachers make learning fun. I enjoy all the games, activities and test. I absolute love learning new vocabulary and speaking Spanish throughout the lesson.
Student from the Spanish Kids’ Club
My daughter loves her weekly Spanish lessons. The activities are always fun, involving speaking, reading and writing Spanish. The teachers are lovely-always positive, encouraging and enthusiastic. My daughter’s Spanish has dramatically improved and she can’t wait to do her GCSE Spanish with them! We are so glad we found you. Thank you LTN.

“We asked Language Tuition Nottingham (LTN) to give our daughter, Meghan, some lessons, because she had lost confidence during her school Spanish classes. Meg had become unwilling to raise her hand to answer questions and wasn’t enjoying Spanish anymore. So, we asked Angela from LTN to intervene. Angela skilfully set about rebuilding Meg’s confidence through lessons which targeted her specific needs. Later, we asked for additional support with spoken Spanish – Angela was only too happy to adapt her lessons to our request. As a result, Meghan is now back on track, so much so, her school teacher has commented positively several times about her the improvement he’s seen. More importantly, Meg is now happy with her Spanish again. She has also recently received LTN’s Student of the Month Certificate!! Thanks Angela for your expert tuition, we’re very grateful. I hope this helps, cheers,”

“I have thought about doing a beginners Spanish language course for a while and so glad I chose Language Tuition Nottingham – my tutor was so understanding, flexible and made the classes fun and informative. I am looking forward to starting the next course and hopefully will continue with those I did the beginners course with – I just wish I started earlier! Muchas Gracias!”

“I can thoroughly recommend Angela and Language Tuition Nottingham. I have been having 1:1 Spanish lessons with Angela for just over a year now and it is going really well! I love the flexibility that 1:1 classes gives me in planning my time and the concentrated hour of learning that it provides. Initially my classes were face to face but they have been on-line since lockdown, so I have been able to still make progress. I am really happy with both methods as on-line learning has worked in just the same way as face to face as Angela plans the lessons well and gives good and thorough feedback on my pronunciation and vocabulary. Thank you Angela!”

“I’ve just collected my CertTESOL Level 5 Certificate in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages, certified by Trinity College London 🎉🎉🎉 Language Tuition Nottingham ran the course, which was meant to run from January to April 2020. Covid had other plans, however, which meant the course finally ended in September. The course followed a ‘blended learning’ style – a combination of online and face-to-face learning and teaching. The two week face-to-face teaching block in April was replaced by four weeks of online teaching via Zoom (one session per week throughout June) to students located around the world. This was followed in September by a one week face-to-face teaching block, based in the Language Tuition school in Nottingham. My fellow trainee teachers were a mixture of ages, genders and nationalities and were supportive throughout, as well as fun to be around. The ESOL students were keen, committed and fully engaged in the lessons. They were appreciative of our time and efforts in helping them to develop and improve their use of English. Covid meant that the course leaders had to adapt how the content was delivered: I am now able to teach lessons online – not my intention at the start, but a great skill to gave nonetheless – as well as in person. The course was intense, but I got so much out of it. Teaching students was thoroughly rewarding – the best part, I’d say. Thanks to Marius and Angela who delivered the course under difficult and ever-changing circumstances – we got there in the end!

“I undertook the CerTesol course during the pandemic of 2020 which posed many organisational and logistical problems for the world. Language Tuition Nottingham coped admirably throughout, and even managed to include a bonus for us, learning to teach online via zoom. The course itself was a huge opportunity and challenge. The tutors were extremely supportive and fair, and I thank them all for this.Their expertise and wisdom was invaluable. It is not an experience I will forget. Thank you so much”.

“My daughter and I were in the month of August studying English at this school. Angela is a charming, professional person with a special disposition to help you. Our teacher, Jon, dedicated, very capable, involved in your learning, prepares phenomenal classes and is the one who is a teacher by vocation. More could not be asked for. It has been a very good experience and we will surely repeat. The school’s unbeatable location to be able to walk from where we lived. Thank you very much for everything, Angela and Jon.

“I contacted Angela around a year ago to discuss re-starting Spanish lessons after a 20 year gap! I have been trying to teach myself over recent years although I was growing increasingly frustrated when I couldn’t say anything useful while on holiday in Spain!! It was a little scary to start again with the group lessons but Angela put me at ease straight away. The lessons are engaging and fun and we are often laughing during the 90 minute sessions! It’s been great to come back to learning and the zoom lessons made it so easy to continue in recent months. I’m so glad I came back to learning Spanish and my confidence grows with each lesson! Muchas gracias!!” Happy for you to put my name! 😊😊😊

“Private 1 to 1 Spanish lessons with Angela I am a beginner and I started with ten 1 to 1 sessions with Angela in mid-April 2020. Due to the COVID-19 restrictions these hour long sessions were conducted over the Zoom platform. This worked well. In addition to face to face contact, Zoom allows the teacher to write at the side of the PowerPoint style presentations. At the end of the session, I received the presentations from the session in PDF format by email. This enable me to be fully involved with the sessions with only limited note taking required. The PDF presentations made revision of the topic taught easier. I had regular one hour of teaching every Monday. Session one we covered general greetings, courtesy words, useful expressions. Session two, numbers and simple arithmetic. Sessions three and four, ways of describing people and family relations. Sessions four and five, further ways of describing people and activities they engage in. Sessions six, simple verbs/conjugation. Sessions seven and eight, more practice with regular verbs. Sessions nine and ten, irregular verbs. At the end of each session, Angela would set some homework for the week. I really enjoyed the sessions and would recommend the 1 to 1 lessons with Angela. I am now having a short break and taking time revise and to consolidate the learning to date. My aim is have a series of group lessons with Language Tuition in the not too distant future. Graham (65 years) Hasta Luego Angela!”

“For over two years my Tuesdays mornings have been dedicated to Spanish classes at Language Tuition Nottingham. There one-to-one sessions are a joy – improving my skills in listening, speaking, reading and writing, and mos specially immersing myself in the language though in-depth conversation about anything and everything. During this time my familiarity with the language has develop apace, and it is so gratifying when I find myself able to read novels, listen to podcasts and watch films – maybe not perfectly, but with so much better confidence and understanding. Muchisimas gracias Language Tuition Nottingha!

“I’ve Studied #TESOL at Language Tuition Nottingham last summer. The course was intensive and busy but also well structured. Tutors helped us a lot during sessions and they had a very positive and professional approach. Angela also had been very supportive during our face to face session days by making sure we were well looked after both the online component and the face to face component were designed to help learners improve their skills and get confident. I highly recommended this school to every one. Thank you!”
