Monica Höffner

Ireland/ Accountant

”Taking  lessons with Javier has really helped me maintain my Spanish, now that I'm back living in an English-speaking country. (I used to live in Madrid.)
I really look forward to seeing him online. Javier is so engaging and we have so much to talk about that the time just flies by! His grammar and vocabulary explanations are relevant to real life and easy to understand, and he chooses content that is really interesting... articles, videos and songs that I would never find on my own.
I always come away from each lesson feeling more confident about my Spanish. Gracias Javier, me has ayudado un montón! Te lo agradezco mucho.“

USA / Social worker

”I first began learning Spanish with Javier to complement my undergrad Spanish classes and found in months that his method accelerated my fluency better than years at university. He lets his students guide the curriculum, which has allowed me to learn the language as it specifically relates to my work in the social working area; something that has hugely benefited my career. The best part of learning with Javier was also my recent opportunity to travel to Spain for "Experience Navarre", a program he organized where my wife and I were fully immersed in the language and culture, allowing us to meet new people and see a side of Spain we wouldn't normally be able to experience. I highly recommend Javier for anyone looking to take their Spanish to the next level!"

UK / English teacher working in Spain

I had the luck of finding Javier while I was preparing to take the C1 exam. A polished teacher with senstitivity to the needs of Spanish learners, Javier not only helped me improve my content knowledge of Spanish, but further, helped me to develop sound strategies for speaking with facility and confidence. I not only passed the C1 exam due to his help and attentive ear, but had a lot of fun doing it!"

Conny Myers

UK / Nurse

"I have been taking classes with Javier for over two years now. I remember when I started with him, I had been studying on my own but progress was slow. When it came to expressing myself in the past, I had a lot of trouble. Now, I watch telenovelas, random videos on YouTube, and many other forms of media in Spanish My knowledge of more advanced structures has increased exponentially. When I take a trip to a Spanish speaking country, I have no fear whatsoever asking people for directions, asking the butcher which cut of meat is the best for a recipe, asking the fishmonger which fish he or she prefers, or even just joking around with my bartender.“

"I was introduced to Javier by a friend who told me "he's the best Spanish teacher I've ever had", and after our trial classes, I cancelled my lessons with my previous teacher, and I've been with Javier ever since! He's professional, fun, differentiates to accomodate our learning needs and wants, and is interesting to talk with. I would recommend Javier to any friend or family member who wants to learn Spanish. Thank you for all your time and work, Javier. You are fantastic!"“

 Declan O'Connor

Ireland / English teacher

I started learning with Javier 9 months ago and had some very basic beginners Spanish and no confidence in speaking at all. Javier is a very patient teacher who always makes the lessons interesting and fun. He's really boosted my confidence and I am delighted with the progress I have made, recently being graded as level B1 - B2 by the Cervantes Institute - I could not have done this without Javier! I've tried quite a few different internet teachers, Javier is by far the best of them.

Ireland / Secretary

”At first the one who really wanted me to learn Spanish was my mother since I didn't see any reason for having more Spanish lessons apart from the ones I took in the school. However, after having some lessons with Javi I really wanted to keep on learning and I felt that I was improving very fast.

Thanks to Javier I passed my B2 DELE exam and I was able to travel to Spain and have an amazing holidays trip.“
