Kelly Thornhill

I’m Kelly—founder and head tutor at Adventures in Spanish. Since 2014, I’ve been creating and delivering awesome Spanish courses, inspired by my epic 20-year adventure around South America. (Think jungle treks in Colombia, late-night tango in Buenos Aires, and sipping mate with gauchos in the Andes.)

Are you a parent supporting your child’s Spanish learning? Or a frustrated learner looking for fresh, practical ways to boost your skills?

Either way—you’re in the right place.

I’m here to help you build real confidence in Spanish and enjoy the journey along the way.

Why learn Spanish with us?

Give Your Brain a Workout

Learning Spanish isn’t just fun – it’s fantastic for your brain! It sharpens your memory, improves focus, and even makes you a better multitasker and communicator.

Travel with Respect

Speaking the local language helps you connect with communities, support local businesses, and reduce your environmental footprint. It’s a more mindful, meaningful way to explore the world.

Build a More Understanding World

Learning another language opens your mind to different perspectives and cultures. In a world that needs more empathy and connection, it’s a powerful step toward being the change you want to see.
