Studying in Ven Academy has been a fun and enriching process. The teaching materials are easy to grasp. I have gained a wealth of knowledge and lifetime experiences studying here. Thank you!!

¡Ha sido un gran placer y un asombroso viaje de aprendizaje! Carolina es una excelente maestra. ¡Las lecciones son interactivas, bien estructuradas y divertidas! Siempre me gustó el español, pero ahora, siendo estudiante de Carolina, los adoro. Realmente útil durante mi viaje a Ibiza también …

I really enjoy the lessons with Carolina. They are constructive and fun at the same time! She enjoys her work and that helps me enjoy the lessons! She makes the whole process of learning easy and fun. Gracias Carolina!!!

I started learning with Ana in Sept 2018. As a complete beginner she completely put me at ease! Her lovely, kind and patient manner is such a great advantage and she encourages all her students to “give it a go” and be brave when speaking. The classes are well structured with an accompanying text book and a clear topic for each week. Supportive videos and homework related to the topic from that day’s lesson sent via our class’ WhatsApp group. Ana explains things very clearly and has helped me build up my confidence to converse in Spanish. She is an excellent and very experienced teacher and also great fun, as is her colleague Carolina! Both make an effort to arrange social events each term to get their students together around a Spanish theme. I highly recommend VEN Language Services.

I have taken Spanish lessons with Ana and Carolina. They are both fabulous teachers. Lessons were fun and well structured.
I have enjoyed learning Spanish with them. I would highly recommend Ven Academy for private or group lessons.

A very high standard of teaching, brilliantly paced, at the same time friendly and enjoyable.

Carolina and her team are the best teachers i’ve come across. I have had several teachers over the years and not can compare. Her teaching method focuses on Spanish that is useful in everyday life situation, paying attention to grammar, colloquial expressions and pronunciation. She makes learning fun and is always patient with my numerous questions. Learning with her is a pleasure!

My friend and I share private languages lessons with Caro. She is a lively and engaging teacher and tailors her lessons to the needs and abilities of her students. We really enjoy our sessions with her.

I started classes with Carolina last year and the progress I have made has been excellent. She is a wonderful teacher, always making sure the lesson is well structured covering all aspects of learning the language, including conversation, listening and grammar. The lessons are very interactive so are also very enjoyable. I am more confident speaking Spanish with native speakers which is a big achievement for me. Muchas gracias a Carolina por su ayuda. Christine

I started the intermediate classes in February and have found them both useful and enjoyable. Carolina is an excellent teacher and we cover a wide variety of topics. The focus is on conversation but we do also cover grammar and vocabulary. Only criticism and not an altogether serious one is we talk about la vida sana a bit too much!

I completed the beginners 1 course with the Ven academy. Ana was such an enthusiastic and encouraging teacher. Lessons are very well planned and conversation based tasks meant we learnt quickly. I really enjoyed spending time with like minded people and learning a brand new language. Learning a new skill as well as meeting new people in London meant this was such a worthwhile experience for me. THANKS.

Carolina has been my Spanish teacher for several years. She has a very pleasant and friendly manner. She is encouraging and supportive. At the same time she pushes me when I need to be pushed. I am very happy to recommend her. Martin.

My 14 year old daughter has a weekly session with Ana, in preparation for Spanish GCSE. She is really enjoying these sessions .
Ana brings great energy and focus to her teaching. She shows real dedication to her student and is committed to getting the best out of her. As a result the time flys by.
We are very happy with my daughter’s progress.

I have really enjoyed my weekly spanish lessons with Ana. She has a relaxed and informative way of teaching which has been ideal for me and makes learning another lauguage fun and engaging. She manages to cover a lot in one hour yet the lessons never feel rushed or monotonous. We have fun, we chat and we learn. I would definitely recommend Ven academy to anyone who wishes to learn Spanish in a laid back, casual environment where you are encouraged to have a go and aren’t made to feel foolish when you get things wrong!

I cannot recommend learning Spanish enough. The classes are great fun and I am amazed at how much we are able to learn. Ana has a warm and friendly energy which makes the classes relaxed and very enjoyable. I am so pleased with how much I am learning and the great vibes of the class. Ana puts a great deal of time into teaching us, even when we are not in class. She sends us videos during the week that will help us and is totally committed to giving us the best teaching possible. Do not hesitate to learn Spanish with Ana, you will thoroughly enjoy it and really get to grips with the language with ease. I’m so glad I started and feel I have met really wonderful people in the process too.

The Spanish classes are great , very professional yet informal and puts you at ease. Ana is a fantastic teacher and is very engaging with her students. Can’t wait to learn more! Natalie

Thank you so much Ana for all your hard work and dedication to help me with my English. Since I have been going to your class I feel my English and my confidence in the language have improved within a matter of weeks. I am sure I will start your Spanish course as well as you are a great teacher and amazing person. It is 10 out of 10 for me.
Hugs
Andrea

Ana is an excellent teacher and really cares about her students. I had group lessons for a few months until work commitments got in the way. I would highly recommend Ven Academy.

Ana is a fantastic teacher. Lessons are always fun and I’m amazed at how much we’ve learnt in a relatively short time. The regular social events are a great way to meet students from other classes and practise a bit of Spanish. Highly recommend!

HIGHLY RECOMMEND 10/10 I visit Spain on business and communicate with customers by telephone and email regularly. Even though I could speak some Spanish, when it came to communicating with customers in business related terms my Spanish was limited. Ana has been fantastic, she tailor made a course based on the business term knowledge I required to assist me with communicating with customers professionally. On my recent visits to both Barcelona and Madrid this proved to be a huge success.

I highly recommend Ana to anyone who would like to learn Spanish whether a beginner or need a tailor made course specific to their requirements.

FANTASTIC from knowing nothing in Spanish feel like we have come along way with Ana.
She’s a great teacher with a lot passion, the sessions were always interesting as she was very funny and has lots of energy. She went the extra bit with helping with our travels to South America, not just with the language but with contacts while we are there.
I would recommend her to any one who wants to learn Spanish 10/10.

I really enjoy my Spanish lessons with Ana, she is passionate about her job. The lessons are fun, constructive.
Ana explains very clearly and makes sure everyone understands, each week she sends videos related to our lessons which I find extremely useful.
We talk a lot which is what you need to learn a language !!
I highly recommend Ven academy .VA,

The classes are very small and tailored to the level and abilities of the students; it nearly feels as to have a one-2-one with the teacher.
The term lay cost of the course is extremely competitive and exceptional good value for money.
The teachers are mother-tongue (obviously!) and their teaching style/approach is friendly and professional – totally students orientated. I am thoroughly enjoying learning Spanish.

I’ve been attending Ana’s Spanish classes for a year now and I love the way she teaches and interacts with the students. Classes are small and tailored to the students’ needs .We like to make good progress, so Ana sends lots of videos and homework to supplement her lessons. On top of lessons Ven Academy is offering regular social events, which are very nice if you like to meet other Spanish students or native speakers. Overall a fabulous academy to either learn or brush up on your Spanish language skills. A*

Carolina worked with my son and his friend in Year 11 as both were struggling with Spanish GCSE and my son was about to give up.
She was encouraging and fun. I loved that she would mostly only speak Spanish to them (and me!). And she had a very clear grasp of the curriculum and how to make sure both boys were prepared for the different exams – of speaking, reading and writing.
As a result of her help they both exceeded their predictions for GCSE.
Thanks so much Carolina.

Ana has been a teacher for many years. I worked with Ana while she was a GCSE and A-Level Spanish teacher.

I loved being in her lessons and observing her passion for teaching languages and transferring that passion to anyone in her classroom.

The lessons were always fun, filled with lots of talking and interesting ways to acquire the language.

She made every student feel like they mattered, and supported them, regardless of their Spanish speaking ability.

I start studying Spanish with Carolina a few month ago. She is professional, always on time, friendly and I really enjoy my classes. I will highly recommend Ven Academy for anyone that will like to learn Spanish.

I would like to thank Ana her dedication, hard work and passion what she puts into our classes. I am a student both of her group as well private lessons.
Ana always finds a way to uniquely create the lessons and the approach of teaching crafted and created to each different individuals. She’s creative, her hours are motivating and they always fly by in a moment because of the deep content of it. I highly recommend her lessons to anyone who is thinking to learn a new language, has an interest in the passionate wonderful language of Spanish.

Carolina has helped me regain confidence in my Spanish. The classes are fun, interactive and interesting. Carolina is constantly thinking of new ways to get me to learn outside of the classroom. I highly recommend the Ven Accademy for all levels of Spanish!!! Gracias Carolina!

Carolina is a great and dedicated teacher. The lessons are packed with information, activities and ideas for self study. My Spanish has really picked up thanks to her!

Hi have really enjoyed my Spanish lessons with Ven Academy. I have had the pleasure of being taught by both Carolina and Anna who are exceptional teachers. Lessons are personalised, fun and engaging. At Ven Academy teachers are approachable and will go out their way do ensure that you are getting the most out of the lessons. If you want to learn Spanish with excellent teachers I highly recommend Ven Academy, you will not regret it.

I’ve studied Spanish with Carolina for about a year now, and have only good things to say. The classes are always interesting, very well prepared, there’s a good balance of different activities, and loads of homework, meaning that even if we only meet up once a week, I still manage to learn a lot and improve ;). Would recommend to a friend :).

I had no confidence at all in speaking Spanish but now with the help of Ana and Carolina they have really made a difference. I’m far from fluent yet but getting there. The group session’s are fun and you meet some really nice people too! The last Friday in the month from 7pm at the woodman pub is open to all and worth a visit as you can meet other students and get to speak Spanish. A much better and fun way to learn a language than a classroom environment. I am so glad I took the first step and look forward to my Wednesday sessions.

This is just the type of class I was looking for. It’s fun and relaxed.
The classes are not held in classrooms and the groups are very small so learning does not feel like a chore. The atmosphere is informal but teaching is professional and our lovely teacher, Ana, is really encouraging.
I’m very happy to be learning the type of Spanish that would actually be useful travelling or living in a Spanish speaking country. There is a good balance of spoken and written Spanish.
I had thought I wanted to do only conversation but find the written is a really good way of learning phrases for conversation too. I was a bit worried I would be nervous about trying to speak in Spanish in the class and getting it all wrong but the atmosphere is so non-judgemental it’s fun just having a go and doesn’t matter at all about mistakes. After only a term and a bit I have learnt a lot. Thank you Ana.

I started to learn Spanish in September 2018. Learning Spanish has been always fun. My teacher Ana is a very nice person and each class are full of jokes and fun. She always explains very clearly and gives me strong motivation to learn more Spanish. I am very happy that the course found me!!! Agnes Cevere

Very helpful small-group teaching. A good mixture of reading aloud, conversation (pitched at an appropriate level for the group), writing, listening exercises and plenty of homework. Ana is an energetic , enthusiastic and patient teacher. I would recommend to anyone wanting to start or improve their Spanish.

When I was looking for Beginner’s Spanish lessons I came across Ven Languages and decided to sign up for an initial 6 lessons. The school appealed to me due to the deliberately small class sizes, as I felt this would be more conducive to my learning. Well, my 6 lessons soon finished… and I’m happy to say that I’ve carried on studying with Carolina every Saturday morning since October 2019 in a class with a maximum 4, but usually just 3 of us.
Lessons are nicely tailored to suit our level, we have great fun and our classes are filled with laughter. Carolina and Ana go out of their way to make you feel welcome and to also organise social activities for all the students every month which is a great way to get to meet new friends and practice. We’ve gone to photography exhibitions, had Christmas Dinner together, as well as a regular pub social event.

I am really enjoying my lessons with Ana who makes the clases both fun and very imformative. The class size is just right gracias

I took private Spanish lessons with Ana in order to improve my speaking. Ana was always well prepared and the lessons were tailored to my needs. She even insisted on giving me a free lesson for free when a previous one had some unforeseen interruptions, which I thought was lovely. Highly recommended!

My tutor was fantastic! Carolina was really nice and an incredibly good teacher as she brought my grade up from a 3 to a 7. Very easy to chat to and made Spanish fun even though I used to not like it.

I cannot recommend Ana and Carolina from Ven Language Services highly enough! I joined them last September after a long break from doing any Spanish and Ana has renewed my love for it – she is a very good teacher with an eye for detail and is very thorough in explaining grammar. Carolina also tutored my daughter to help her get a good mock GCSE grade, which she achieved with flying colours! She was a great help and my daughter actually enjoyed Spanish in a way she hasn’t before! In these extraordinary times the Zoom Spanish lessons work very well and I look forward to my Friday afternoons! Two of the best Spanish teachers in North London. Believe me, I know, as it took me a while to find them and what a great find!!

I enjoyed studying Spanish with our teacher Ana, she is good fun, we always have a laugh. I have met lots of local people that I wouldn’t have a change to meet otherwise. I love the fact that it takes me ten minutes to walk to the class.

If you are looking to get into Spanish, great place to start.

I started learning Spanish in a group class with Carolina six months ago. Carolina is a brilliant teacher. She is very encouraging and supportive, and passionate about her students learning Spanish. The classes are really enjoyable and i’m always surprised how much we can learn in an hour. And it’s been lovely to make new friends with the other people in the group. Between classes, Carolina sends us videos and other materials to help our learning during the week. Outside of the classes, Carolina and Ana have created a welcoming, warm community of the students from all of their classes. We meet up monthly at a local pub and go on Spanish-related outings. Carolina and Ana are both so generous with their time, so encouraging and so passionate about what they do. I would not hesitate to recommend them and feel lucky to have found them, and the lovely community that they have created. Muchas gracias, Charlie

I have been studying Beginners Spanish with Carolina since October 2019 and not only am I learning a lot I am enjoying the process too. Each week our lesson is well planned, homework is set and followed up in the next lesson. Along with the laughter, Carolina keeps our lesson at a good pace and it’s great to feel progression is being made.

Ven Academy – Brilliant Teaching!
Carolina is an excellent teacher. She explains things very well and is very patient. She also provides great cultural context and local insights when teaching topics. I am really enjoying the lessons with Ven Academy.
Gracias!
