Private Spanish Lessons
Private Spanish lessons
Lessons built around you — not a one-size-fits-all curriculum. Whether you’re preparing for an exam, planning a trip, returning to a language you once loved, or just finally ready to make Spanish happen — private lessons give you the fastest, most direct route to progress.
Flexible scheduling. Experienced tutors. Real-world Spanish from day one.
WHO IS THIS FOR?
Is a private lesson right for you?
Private lessons work particularly well if you are:
- A home-educated student preparing for GCSE, iGCSE, AS or A-Level Spanish as an external candidate
- An adult learner who wants to finally feel comfortable speaking Spanish — for travel, work, relocation, or everyday life
- A GCSE or A-Level student who needs targeted 1:1 support alongside school
- A family or group of friends who want to learn together (we offer discounted group private rates — see below)
- Someone who tried apps or group classes but needs a more personalised approach
- A professional needing Spanish for work or business communication
- A sports team or club preparing for a tour to a Spanish-speaking country
- A business wanting in-house Spanish lessons for staff
If you’re not sure which option is right for you, just get in touch — we’ll help you figure it out.
You’ll be learning with someone who actually lived the language.
Adventures in Spanish is led by Kelly Thornhill, who spent over 20 years living and working across South America — in Argentina, Colombia, Venezuela and beyond. She didn’t just study Spanish in a classroom; she built a career, ran a business, raised multilingual children, and qualified as a PADI Divemaster entirely in Spanish in a small Colombian fishing village.
That lived experience shapes every lesson. You’re not learning from a textbook — you’re learning from someone who knows what it actually takes to function confidently in Spanish in the real world.
Kelly and her team of tutors bring the same approach to every student: find what motivates you, build from there, and get you speaking from the very first lesson.

TESTIMONIALS
“Kelly is one of the best teachers I have come across and I have worked across primary, secondary and further education environments. She truly cares about her role and is fully focused on developing every student’s Spanish ability in a varied and engaging way. The GCSE classes are hugely interactive and also introduce students to the exam format so there are no nasty surprises at the 11th hour! After 2 lessons with Kelly, my daughter learnt more than in a whole term with another tutor and loves the classes. Kelly’s vlogs and blogs show how much she is passionate about everything Spanish and this comes across in every lesson. If you are looking for a Spanish teacher for you or your child, I would 100% recommend Adventures in Spanish. “
