I started having Spanish lessons with Julio as a complete beginner. Since then I have reached an advanced level and even managed to work in Spain for a month using everything I had learnt in the lessons. Julio is an extremely patient teacher, who makes the lessons fun and relaxed, as well as inspiring me to achieve my goals in the language.

He tenido lecciones de español con Julio hace 3 años y comencé como una principiante. Desde entonces he logrado un nivel muy alto y avanzado. He trabajado en España con mucho exíto gracias a las lecciones privadas. Julio es un profesor muy paciente, y las lecciones siempre son relajadas y muy divertidas. Tambien Julio me inspira lograr mis metas en el lenguaje.

Julio is a very nice, approachable and communicative person. I am lucky to have him as my Spanish teacher for many reasons. He is flexible in his approach to teaching and respects my preferences and wishes. His lessons are interesting and fun, he uses a variety of teaching materials and each lesson is different. Most importantly, I feel like I have made a real progress and improved my spoken Spanish distinctly since I started taking classes with Julio. I would recommend him to every student of Spanish !!

Julio es una persona comunicativa y simpatica. Tengo suerte de tenerlo como mi profesor de espanol por muchas razones. Es muy flexible en su ensenanza y respeta mis preferencias y deseos. Sus lecciones son interesantes y divertidas, usa  una variedad de materiales de ensenanza y cada leccion es diferente. Lo mas importante, siento que he tenido un progreso real y que he mejorado mi conversacion desde que empece mis clases con Julio. Lo recomendaria a cada estudiante de espanol !!

Julio has been a fantastic Spanish tutor and it was an enjoyable and successful journey. He is a very professional, knowledgeable and engaging tutor who managed to keep me motivated over all this time. The weekly tutoring focussed largely on conversation, with an eclectic mix of topics from economics to every day life and culture, with the odd bit of grammar where necessary. Julio is also great in teaching idiomatic expression that one wouldn't pick up in textbook style studying. All this has allowed me to progress to a proficient level of Spanish in a relatively short amount of time. My language skills now come in handy when travelling in Spain, connecting with locals, and on a professional level. Whatever your goals are, I can only recommend Julio as an excellent tutor.

I have spent a couple of months studying business Spanish with Julio and with my 2 colleagues. We have learned a lot!! Now our understanding of Spanish and communication skills are much better. We have improved our Spanish language knowledge in various business field such as brands, trades, and communications which require specific grammar and vocabulary. Julio is a very professional teacher not only for his marketing and business background but because he knows how to adjust the Spanish classes to his students.

He pasado un par de meses estudiando negocios en espanol con Julio y mis 2 colegas del trabajo. Hemos aprendido mucho!! Ahora nuestra comprehension del espanol y nuestras habilidades de comunicacion estan mucho mejor. Hemos mejorado nuestro conocimiento del lenguaje en varios campos del negocio como marcas, comercio y comunicaciones que requieren una gramatica y vocabulario especifico. Julio es un profesor muy profesional no solo por su conocimiento y estudios de marketing y publicidad pero porque el sabe como ajustar las lecciones a sus estudiantes.

I am currently studying for my A2 levels at Camden School in North London. I have been having lessons with Julio for about 4 months and have to admit that they have been very enjoyable and beneficial. I recently took my AS level Spanish exam and I've achieved a better grade than I would of having not had Julio’s lessons. The lessons have a very relaxed atmosphere and are perfect for learning as you do not feel under pressure and that allows your confidence to grow, which is hugely important in languages. He has also helped me to express my words more clearly by clearing up accent confusions that I had before. Overall the lessons are enjoyable and have proven themselves very useful in terms of improving my Spanish.

For a long time I couldn't find a good private teacher. After trying several teachers, a friend of mine recommended me Julio. From the first lesson, he was able to see my weaknesses and strengths and was able to build the lessons according to my needs. Before each lesson he sent me an article which we discussed. It helped me not only improve my vocabulary but also my grammar. The way he explained the grammar and vocabulary has allowed me to learn twice as fast. I also learned how and when to use many phrasal verbs. My teacher was very patient while correcting my mistakes. Julio gave me the courage and confidence to believe that one day I will be able to speak Spanish fluently.

Por mucho tiempo no pude encontar a un buen profesor privado. Despues de estudiar con muchos profesores, una amiga me recomendo Julio. Desde la primera leccion, el reconocio mi debilidades y fortalezas con la lengua y pudo hacer mis lecciones deacuerdo a mis necesidades. Antes de cada leccion el me envia articulos que luego conversamos. Me ayuda no solo en mejorar mi vocabulario pero tambien mi gramatica. La manera en que explica la gramatica y vocabulario me ha permitido aprender rapidamente. Tambien he aprendido a usar muchas expresiones idiomaticas. Mi profesor fue muy paciente mientras corregia mis errores. Julio me dio coraje y seguridad para creer que un dia hable espanol muy bien.

I'm an university student and I'm studying a BA Spanish with International Relations. I have been working with Julio since I started my degree. Now I'm in my last year and I need extra support for my tutorials, presentations and exams. Without Julio I couldn't have passed my previous tests with As and Bs. I'm very glad I have a private tutor because at university the lessons are very fast and advanced, specially it was very difficult for me at the beginning since I never studied Spanish at school. A lot of my classmates studied it before coming to university and that was an advantage for them but for me it was a nightmare. I can tell you that Julio gave me the confidence and knowledge that I needed in my oral presentations and written exams. I have improved a lot since I took private lessons and now I'm looking forward to finish university with excellent grades and to use my skills at work. 


Soy una estudiante de universidad y estoy estudiando BA Relaciones Internacionales con espanol. He estado trabajando con Julio desde que empece my diploma. Ahora estoy en mi ultimo ano y necesito extra ayuda para mis presentaciones, tareas y examenes. Sin Julio no podria haber pasado my examenes anteriores con As y Bs. Estoy contenta que tengo un profesor muy profesional porque en la universidad las lecciones son muy rapidas y avanzadas, especialmente fue dificil para mi porque yo nunca estudie espanol en la escuela. Mucho de mis companeros lo estudiaron antes de la universidad y fue una ventaja para ellos pero para mi fue una pesadilla. Les puedo decir que Julio me dio la seguridad y conocimiento que necesitaba en mis presntaciones orales y examenes escritos. He mejorado mucho desde que tome lecciones privada y ahora estoy entuciasmada de terminar la universidad con buenas notas y de usar mis habilidades en mi futuro trabajo.
