Our Student’s Success Stories

Slade is an amaizing lecturer and has great communication skills. I have done the beginners course and can truly say that I can now have a basic conversation in Spanish. The material is easy to understand and the Slade gives you the tools to expand your knowledge. Muchas Gracias Slade.

I started Spanish lessons with Slade in June this year and within a very short time was actually able to speak Spanish. Slade is a very inspiring teacher who constantly motivates his students. I find the voice notes to be a very helpful tool in the learning process. The classes are fun with lots of laughs and insights into the Spanish speaking countries and the different ways of communicating. I would recommend these classes to anyone who wants to learn quickly in a fun and relaxed environment.

Slade is a great teacher with a unique style in helping you to absorb Spanish. I have tried other methods of learning Spanish in the past and failed abysmally until now. I thoroughly enjoyed the introductory level programme and will no doubt move on to intermediate at some point in the future.

For years I had been looking for a place where I could attend Spanish classes, I didn't want a formal lecture , but a more intimate and interactive class, well , the Spanish academy is the absolute best , classes are intimate, interactive, fun, crazy and cover so much of the language in a diversified way , you learn all sorts of ways to say one thing , you get to learn different approaches through the method of layers that Slade uses ….. The Spanish academy with Maestro Slade is the best ,whether you are a beginner or intermediate I recommend it 100%

After meeting Slade virtually as an enigmatic lecturer, he has become a mentor and not only that has taught me to speak Spanish! A language that I can speak, understand and read, albeit a newbie, we have so much fun while learning and an added bonus that our group supports each other. Slade muchas gracias a mi fenonmenal maestro

Every so often you encounter a being who is truly passionate about their craft. When you do you cannot help but be drenched in their enthusiasm and exuberance, never mind their skill. Slade is one such being. Go on, treat yourself, enroll for his class...

Our experience at the Spanish Academy and our interactions with Slade were of an extremely high standard. If you’re thinking about learning Spanish, this is by far the best place to go!

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!

I took private lessons with Slade a few months prior to moving to Central America. Slade is an outstanding teacher and has developed an excellent method of teaching. He knows exactly how the brain works with languages. I was fortunate to have started my spanish language journey with Slade because his lessons lay a strong foundation for my further learning of the language now that I live in Central America. I highly recommend anyone who's interested in learning Spanish to go with The Spanish Academy South Africa!
