More than 15 years experience
"After many years of teaching Spanish, I am convinced that there is no age limit to learning a language. The most important things are enthusiasm and a desire to learn, as well as a good sense of humour."
Raúl has been teaching Spanish as a foreign language since 1995, first in London and then in Birmingham. He has considerable experience of teaching Spanish to adults, professionals and undergraduates having worked at Queen Mary, University of London and after that at the University of Birmingham, in their Centre for Modern Languages and also at the Brasshouse Language Centre in Birmingham.
In addition to his wide experience, he is well qualified to teach the language, having studied Filología Hispánica at the University of Salamanca, as well as having good professional training in language teaching methodology through courses and workshops at the University of Salamanca and the University of Birmingham.
Raúl's experience has given him the opportunity to teach people with a wide variety of levels and ages, and he always structures lessons according to the levels and needs of each individual and group. Contact him to find out more

Testimonials
¡Fenomenal! I have been taught Spanish by several excellent teachers, but Raúl was by far the best. He is patient, enthusiastic and has a great sense of humour. His classes here in Birmingham were varied, interesting and fun – and always left us all looking forward to the next one. When he announced he was returning to Spain the whole class was devastated. Angela, England. I had lessons of Oral Spanish with Raúl for 2 years at Queen Mary University, and I remember the lessons always being fun. He's a fantastic teacher, who made sure we worked hard but always made the learning fun. He's creative, patient, and has a great sense of humour. One of my best spanish teachers ever!. Gabriella, Italy.
Learning Spanish in your class gave me a new enthusiasm for the language. Your classes were very well-structured, lively and engaged every member of the class even if at slightly different levels. Great confidence booster, and informative, bringing not only the language but the life and soul of Spain into the class too! Sandra, England.

Raúl has been my first and, by and large, the most incisive teacher of Spanish language I have ever had. His method combines an intellectual study of grammatical rules with an emotionally effective plunging into Spanish cultural atmosphere through a smart use of movies and music. Giovanni, Italy. Lessons with Raúl are a pleasure. He makes a real effort to understand what your difficulties are, and thinks of interesting ways to resolve them. I spent a couple of years learning with him during lunchtimes at work, during which time I achieved an approximate GCSE standard of the Spanish language. I always really looked forward to my lessons, and wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to any language student. Caroline, England.
