TESTIMONIALS

I found one on one leaving cert grinds with Alejandra very helpful in the lead up to the exam. Having a personal Google classroom with notes and lessons catered directly to your individual needs is very helpful. I would highly recommend BTW languages lessons.

Alejandra helped me incredibly as she worked with me to improve my Spanish which wasn’t great for my leaving Cert, I feel she helped me improve my Spanish massively and put in a lot of time and effort into working with me and my low level of knowledge on the language. She was extremely patient and helpful throughout our courses and allowed me to learn Spanish to my full ability.

Alejandra helped me massively to bring up my grade and gave me a really good understanding of the basics in Spanish that I didn’t have before. She always made me feel comfortable if I didn’t know something and made sure to not skip on until I understood it. I would highly recommend her to any student taking Spanish in school.
