Thanks for your reply and yes I would really like one to one lessons .

If I can come to you that us not a problem . I don't drive out here but am on a bus route and also enjoy walking .

I am aware that my lessons may be a bit sporadic as I am not here all the time but can do recommended homework and have several Spanish books but have lacked the 'umph' to use them without correction or reason.

It would be good to meet if possible to discuss possibilities and fees . What do you think?

Hi. Sorry for not getting back to you sooner. This is the first chance I've had today. Realistically for us to have one to one lessons we would have to meet somewhere fairly central in Torrevieja as I also have a part time job in town so between the hours I am there and teaching, I don't have enough time to travel far from home. I meet a lady at the Casino in Torrevieja near the old port. Would that be convenient? I don't know where the bus from la Mata stops but it would be a long way to walk. A lot of people come and go but it doesn't mean that it is necessary to stop studying and learning. I often give people homework exercises to take away with them if they want them or indeed, as you say, to work from a good book can also be beneficial.

I charge 10 euros a class (one hour). If you are a beginner, I would start with material relating to that level.  Generally, I meet new students with the intention of having a lesson as opposed to meeting for a chat so we can arrange to meet for a lesson unless there are some specific queries or points you wish to discuss before starting lessons, in which case please let me know.

That's good for me as I can catch the bus or indeed cycle once I know where to go. 

The place you mention is by the large fountain I think? Can you suggest somewhere to meet, a cafe no doubt and I can look it up .

Yes a beginners class would be good. Which day and time next week would suit you? I will send a photo so you you recognise me! What is your name please?

Hi Richard

Thanks for the photo! Yes, the Casino is pretty much next to the big fountain. It is actually a café and restaurant now. It used to be a casino but I don't think it's used for that purpose anymore although I could be wrong. How does Monday or Wednesday at 12.30 suit you? At the moment either day is fine for me. Or do you prefer afternoons?

I am called Judy (I tend to forget to tell people my name!) and I will turn up on a black bike and always carry a black rucksack.

Let me know what is best for you. Thanks.

Hi. Sorry, I have just seen your post. I live in Torrevieja very close to the Park of the Naciones and have lived here for 20 years. I am British, speak Spanish fluently and for the last 17 years have taught Spanish on a 1-to-1 or 1-to-two basis. To learn in a class or with private lessons depend...

...s on how you want to learn as there is no doubt that more is learnt in a private class than in a group. I focus very much on speaking but some aspects of the grammar have to be covered, unfortunately, to undestand how to speak correctly. Please get in touch if you are interested. It is definitely worth the effort to learn. Opens many doors! 

Hola 🙋‍♀️thats good to know Joodolittle, im moving over end of October so will probably start lessons after Christmas, are you near playa flamenca ? If its easy to get to please send me details.

Carol  🤗

Hi Richard

Nice to meet you today. Sorry for not getting back to you sooner. I was at work all afternoon and this is the first chance I've had. Realistically, the best time for another class would be Thursday afternoon as I have very little free time any other morning this week. Does an afternoon suit you? A lot of people are too tired to focus in an afternoon or it's too hot now but it's really the only day I have time free. It would have to be at 4.30 or afterwards. It can be later if that's better. Please let me know.
