Our Student’s Success Stories

Slade's unique approach to teaching Spanish gets you speaking Spanish really fast, the classes are fun, the take home manual is excellent and there is regular engagement involving sharing of tips and material to practice. I had tried language apps before and whilst useful they are no substitute for personal teacher led lessons. I recommend The Spanish Academy to all my friends.

I started my beginners course with Slade in February And it was the best decision I have ever made. The class is absolutely amazing and fun, and with Slade as your teacher, you’ll never fail to feel proud and good about your accomplishments, he motivates you and sets you up for success. I can now understand and speak Spanish on a profound level. Muchas gracias Slade . Yo hablo español y tú también puedes! 💃🏼

I have had the privilege of being instructed by Slade. The rate at which I learnt surprised me. His methods make it easy to grasp the language and I have managed to retain what I learnt through Slade even though I am not among Spanish speaking people daily to practice. I would definitely recommend Slade to anyone who wishes to learn Spanish!

Excellent way to learn if you want to learn Spanish fast and in a very exciting way! I tried apps and various other ways but the way we have been taught really embeds the structure of Spanish in ones mind. I am now onto my second course. The founder (Slade) is a passion-filled master of his trade has gone out of his way to make the learning process simultaneously entertaining and educational! I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND THE SPANISH ACADEMY SA! Muchas gracias! 🙂

The Spanish Academy has sparked a lifelong passion for the language. I’ve enjoyed Slade’s teaching methods, which build your confidence and abilities quickly, his endless encouragement and wicked sense of humour so much that I’ve completed the beginner, intermediate and advanced courses. The journey has been most rewarding with seeing my fellow group members – the majority of the same people since I started last year – improve in their abilities and the sense of community and camaraderie that we’ve built up. It’s a true testament to Slade’s skills in guiding our group expertly and the fun that we’ve had while learning so much. If you’re keen to take your Spanish speaking to the next level for travel, work or to open up a whole new world of possibilities, don’t hesitate to sign up with The Spanish Academy.

I have studied Spanish at university level and could not speak the language. I started studying with Slade at the Spanish academy and have learnt more studying with Slade than I ever did studying 3 years of university Spanish. Slade has a unique style of teaching Spanish. He understands the method of teaching a language to English speaking students and his passion and enthusiasm is clearly felt in his classes. You will be speaking Spanish in a few short weeks if you follow his technique. If you are thinking about studying Spanish, then this is the place to be. I highly recommend Slade and The Spanish Academy

I started learning Spanish with Slade in 2018. Since then I have been able to understand my Spanish friends' whatsapp group messages and have some conversations with Spanish friends in Spanish... I enjoy the classes with Slade and hope to travel and speak Spanish in a foreign country soon!

The Best teacher in S.A.!

Slade is the most phenomenal teacher I have ever had! His techniques are incredible and allow even the hardest concepts to appear easy and the course is so cleverly thought out and executed! As an added extra there are his unreal dad jokes which really just bring the whole thing together!! 10/10!!
