I am an experienced and qualified languages teacher and former HOL with over 15 years of teaching French, Spanish, and Portuguese up to A Level

Natalia was my Spanish teacher in high school and was truly exceptional. She made learning the language both engaging and accessible, using creative lessons and real-life examples to bring Spanish to life. Her patience, enthusiasm, and dedication helped every student feel confident and supported. Thanks to her teaching, I not only improved my Spanish skills but also developed a genuine appreciation for the language and culture.

Miss Lamas made learning Spanish fun and engaging, and really grew my passion for the language. Her lessons gave me confidence, and now I truly enjoy speaking Spanish!

Natalia is honestly one of the best professors I’ve ever had. She’s incredibly sweet, kind, and patient, and she truly goes above and beyond to make sure students feel supported and understood. You can tell right away how much she genuinely cares about her students and their progress, she never hesitates to take extra time to explain things clearly and always encourages us with so much positivity. I feel so lucky to have had Natalia as my professor. She’s not only an amazing teacher but also a wonderful person. I couldn’t recommend her more highly

I cannot recommend Natalia (or Ms Lamas, as she was known to us) enough! She taught me Spanish and French throughout my secondary school education, for my GCSEs and A-Levels. With her guidance, I achieved As and A*s, and went on to study a joint honours BSc degree where I continued to use both languages - skills I still draw on today in my work and personal life. Her lessons were always well organised and tailored to the areas students specifically needed to focus on. She made lessons engaging and enjoyable by incorporating real life conversational elements in the target language as well as introducing us to books, articles, films and videos on topical events. It was never just textbook learning. This approach was much more well rounded and strengthened my overall exam performance, and gave me the confidence to use these languages in real life situations. She is patient, kind, encouraging and genuinely cares about helping her students improve! I can’t recommend her enough!
