Lighthouse Spanish Academy - Cardiff

Craig W.

I had a basic understanding of Spanish before joining Lighthouse Spanish Academy. I started my learning by attending classes with Lucia in a group of 6 people once a week. This was a 10 week course and I would highly recommend this to anyone thinking of starting to learn Spanish. I thoroughly enjoyed my classes in a group setting and it really helped me understand my current level. Lucia is a fantastic teacher and made me feel very welcome.

Once the course had finished, I needed to find a different approach to learning due to work commitments and time, Lucia suggested online learning on a 1:1 basis, which would fit in with my schedule.

This was superb for me and Lucia paired me with Carmen.

What can I say, Carmen is brilliant and I have learnt so much with her. Carmen has truly taken the time to understand my learning style, recognises when I am having a bad learning day (brain overload) and adjusts the class to fit accordingly. My confidence has grown massively since taking the individual classes and I have now found myself being able to have some basic general conversations whilst visiting Spain. Carmen is very supportive and has accommodated changes in classes when needed, tailoring the learning based on how I am progressing. A fantastic teacher and is truly committed to supporting you through it all.

If you are unsure where to start when it comes to learning Spanish, I would 100% say look no further. Lucia and Carmen have been amazing in helping me with my journey of learning Spanish. I will definitely look to join up with the classes in a group again later this year as well as continue with my 1:1 learning. Highly recommend!

Had a fantastic experience with the academy - Lucía was really helpful throughout my course, she sourced me a teacher that met my specific needs and responded quickly to troubleshoot a couple of software issues along the way. Marina was very patient and tailored her teaching to my learning style, whilst pushing me to advance quickly both in the lessons and with homework. The course material and external resources provided are brilliant and I will continue to use them in my private study, and will be back to the academy if I need to advance my Spanish further in the future!

I have had weekly online conversation classes with Lighthouse for over a year now and I'm really grateful for the support I have received from the academy and from my tutor. My classes with Marina have been extremely valuable in improving my confidence in Spanish as well as being engaging and enjoyable, and she has been so patient and supportive throughout. Communication from Lucía and Marina has been excellent and they have always been understanding about rearranging classes if necessary. I would recommend Lighthouse to anyone looking to improve their Spanish at any level of ability.

My daughter loved learning Spanish with Delia and Lucía at Lighthouse academy! Their lessons made learning so easy and fun, and Delia and Lucía are both the warmest and friendliest people you could imagine. We would 100% recommend them!

My daughter undertook Spanish classes on both a 1:1 and small group basis. The classes were excellent, building her confidence in a subject that she had previously found very difficult. The results showed in both her attitude to speaking Spanish, which she has begun to enjoy, and in the grades that she has achieved in school. Her tutor, Marina, made lessons engaging and enjoyable. I would highly recommend Lighthouse Spanish classes to anyone.

My husband and I have been having Spanish lessons with Lucia and then Lidia for a few months now and the progress we have made has been brilliant. Both teachers have put us at ease and made our lessons really varied and enjoyable and the difference it has made to our confidence and ability has been fantastic. Both Lucia and Lidia are patient and make the lessons fun and varied, with lots of different ways of learning, which suit both myself and my husband who have different learning styles. In recent weeks we have changed tutors to have classes with Lidia and she has taken the time to get to know us on a personal level which is helping us learn how to have conversations about things which are relevant to us. We were slightly daunted at the prospect of starting lessons during COVID but the Lighthouse Spanish team are well equipped for online learning and it hasn't been an issue at all. We would really recommend both Lucia and Lidia to anyone who is thinking about learning Spanish.

For the past few months I’ve been taking lessons online and I couldn’t be happier with the quality and progress I’ve made. My tutor is Lidia and she’s incredibly helpful! Highly recommend!

I have been having 1-2-1 Spanish lessons with Lighthouse Spanish Academy since March '23.

I cannot praise my tutor (Lidia) highly enough. She makes the lessons fun & interesting; she is patient and she provides lots of encouragement.

Lidia shares a Dropbox folder with me which includes lesson plans, notes from lessons and reading & learning materials. This is incredibly useful for revision between lessons.

I looked at other options for Spanish lessons before deciding to choose Lighthouse and I am very happy with my decision.

Lucía (the owner) offered me a free online consultation and we discussed what my level of Spanish was at already and what my goals were. This personal touch was what led me to think that Lighthouse would be the best option for me.

Lighthouse also have a monthly social meet-up with past & present students. I haven't been able to attend one as yet due to other commitments, but, again, this is not something that you would get from other language schools/tutors.

In summary, I highly recommend Lighthouse Spanish Academy.
