Spanish · Español
Every route into Spanish at Learn&Co — private lessons in London and online, small group terms, GCSE to DELE and SIELE preparation, business Spanish for Iberia and Latin America, immersion weeks and school exchanges. Taught by specialists from Spain and the Americas, selected into our network and matched to you personally by our founder.
Start here
So the first thing we do is work out which Spanish you actually need — and who should teach it to you.
Whichever route you take, the method underneath is identical: a specialist tutor from Spain or Latin America selected for your goal, a programme written for you, and Maria checking in throughout to make sure it is still the right one.
Examinations we prepare for in Spanish: GCSE, IGCSE, A-Level, IB and AP Spanish, and the DELE and SIELE certificates used for work, study and residency. See Spanish exam preparation.
Spanish is the most-taken language in British schools. GCSE, A-Level and AP reward technique, and technique is teachable.
A move, a house, a Spanish partner, a residency or nationality application. Spanish stops being a hobby.
Madrid and Mexico City are not the same room. Register, formality and idiom decide how you are received in each.
Spanish is phonetic and close to English in structure. For most adults, it is the fastest first language to speak aloud.
What we offer
Choose the route that matches what you are trying to achieve — the format follows from the goal, not the other way round.
One specialist, matched from our network, and a programme written around your goal.
Private Spanish tuition in London or online, at any level. Your specialist is matched from the Spanish teachers already selected into our network, you meet them on a chemistry call, and the programme is built from what you actually need to do in Spanish.

Why Learn&Co is different
"Everyone comes to language learning for a reason — but what keeps people going is how it makes them feel. Seen. Capable. Connected. That's what we create at Learn&Co."
Life in the language
The grammar is shared and speakers understand one another everywhere, but accent, idiom and courtesy shift the moment you cross an ocean. We teach the Spanish you will actually stand in, with a tutor from the place you are heading.
Vosotros in Valladolid, ustedes in Bogotá. We match the variety to your house, your desk or your family.
Spanish is phonetic and forgiving, so speaking starts immediately rather than after the grammar is 'finished'.
Football, food, cinema or politics — the practice material is drawn from whatever already keeps your attention.
Beyond the lesson
We also take people to Spain. One route is built for adults who want to disappear into the language for a week; the other for schools who want a trip that teaches as well as it travels.
A week in Spain that moves you further than a term of lessons.
Mornings of structured teaching. Afternoons and evenings in markets, kitchens and lunches that refuse to end — with people who have no interest in slowing down for you. It is the fastest most adults ever progress, and the part they talk about for years.
Curated trips and exchanges in Spain, with the logistics handled.
Designed with heads of MFL and run end to end: partner schools, host families, cultural programme, safeguarding, risk assessment and pastoral care. The department teaches; we administrate.
The Learn&Co method
We do not go looking for a Spanish tutor once you enquire. The selection has already happened: our network is built slowly, from specialists we have interviewed, observed and chosen to work with — for their teaching, not simply their passport.
What happens after your enquiry is the second layer. Maria listens first — your goal, your level, your temperament, your timetable — and then chooses the specialist inside that network who fits the brief. You meet them on a chemistry call before anything is committed, and the programme is written around your life from there.
Our tutor matching is reviewed by The Good Schools Guide.
Spanish specialists we have already interviewed, referenced and chosen — vetted for teaching skill, subject depth and the ability to adapt.
Maria hears the brief first — what you need Spanish for, by when, and how you like to learn.
The specialist inside the network who suits your goal, level and temperament is named to you, with Maria overseeing the match — no rota, no algorithm, no directory to scroll.
You meet the tutor before anything is booked. Progress reports, founder check-ins and rematching if the fit ever stops working.
