“I have been having Spanish conversation lessons with Jero for many years, originally face to face at his language school in Ayamonte in the province of Huelva. Following the Covid pandemic, we have been having weekly conversations through Skype which have been equally enjoyable.

Jero is a fantastic conversationist and has the ability to focus the discussion on areas of mutual interest. As a Londoner, I am impressed with his knowledge of current affairs and sport in the UK which makes the conversation between us lively and memorable. It is obvious to me that the Spanish and British sense of humour is very similar, which is useful learning tool.

All in all, I recommend Jero to anyone who is thinking of taking up Spanish or improving their skills.” Jonathan Savitt, UK and Spurs supporter!

“I have been learning Spanish with Jero for several weeks now and I look forward to every lesson. I feel inspired to practise, despite being a beginner because Jero is very patient and encouraging. With time I notice my confidence is increasing. Lessons are always interesting as we cover an element of grammar and vocabulary within exercises or stories. I am particularly enjoying reading and translating a simple book Jero recommended, because the story is engaging and I find that I can generally make sense of what is happening, even though I might not understand everything. I am feeling somewhat overwhelmed by all the grammatical tenses, since English is taught quite differently in the UK but I have the sense that through Spanish, I will improve my comprehension of formal English grammar! I have always been drawn to the soft-sounding phonetics of Spanish and I thoroughly recommend Jero as a teacher, if you are thinking about learning yourself.” Claire Sainsbury, UK
“Learn Spanish in the comfort of your own home via Skype or anywhere you are with your Tablet, Laptop or PC.
No pressure as in a classroom situation, just you and your Tutor face to face, at the pre-arranged time and at the ability level that suits you.
The course work and the system are built around you and become a pleasure to look forward to.
Jero my tutor has become a friend as well as my teacher.”
Philip Crook (Manchester)
“It’s been great having classes with Jeronimo. He makes it very easy to talk about anything, gives good corrections, and explains everything clearly giving good examples. I chose to have classes with him as he has good experience as a teacher, and also a student – he’s a bit of a polyglot. This really helps when I don’t understand how to say something in Spanish, I can say it in English and he’ll get it. The thing I like the most is that we don’t need to have a plan of the class, I can just come to the lessons with questions, and he answers on the spot. He also has a lot of material which he’s been happy to share with me – like specific grammar exercises to practise for homework, or doing speaking activities during the class from past papers. So yeah, thanks Jeronimo for your help!” Emily Bather. Málaga y Brighton.
“Having class with Jero is great. Skype is a practical way to learn a new language, as it offers flexibility. The classes are adapted to each student’s level, with exercises that target one’s weaknesses. Having varied and interesting conversations with Jero is common, as he is super nice and easy to talk to. I would definitely recommend Spanish courses online!” Sam Van Iseghem (Belgium)
“Through Spanish Online Courses I have finally found a flexible and fun way to improve my Spanish. The one-to-one method means that the teaching is tailor-made to your level and needs, and that you never have to be shy to speak or ask questions. Jero is an excellent teacher, making sure the lessons are interesting and diverse while you are making the progress needed. Highly recommended!” Liselotte Högberg (Sweden)
“By receiving classes from Spanish Online Courses, I have been able to quickly consolidate my existing knowledge of Spanish, as well as rapidly learn new grammar, vocabulary and phrases. I’ve been taking classes between semesters at university where I study languages, and thanks to these Skype sessions I feel much more prepared for entering another year of study. The sessions are organised and structured, but the pace can be easily adjusted to suit your own preferences, which allows you to work through content at a comfortable and natural speed.” Lucy Atkinson (UK)

“Las clases de español online son perfectas para nosotros porque normalmente mi marido viaja mucho por su trabajo y porque podemos seguir las clases juntos. En el periodo de cuarentena estaba genial también! Jerónimo es un profesor muy amable y profesional. Puede improvisar cuando tenemos preguntas y tiene muchos ejercicios para aprender la gramática.”

Kate McDonald, Ireland

I recommend online lessons to anyone learning Spanish who does not have access to a native Spanish speaking tutor as this is reason why I began online lessons. I live in a rural area and I could not find a native Spanish tutor nearby. I find the classes as good as one to one real life tuition with the advantages that I am in my own home and I don’t have to spend extra time travelling to lessons. There is a lot of flexibility with regard to days and lesson times and that suits me as my work/ life commitments vary from week to week. My tutor is Jero and I am very happy with his teaching.

Antoine, Francia

“Mi nombre es Antoine, tengo 16 años y estoy aprendiendo español con Jerónimo. Puedo decir que aprendí más en 1 mes con él que en 1 año en la escuela secundaria. Es divertido, agradable, no vemos pasar el tiempo. Aumenté mucho mis calificaciones en la escuela gracias a este método, especialmente mi habilidad para hablar, y lo recomiendo.”

C.K. Tchorznicki. New York, United States

I have been taking Skype classes with Jero for over four years, averaging around seven sessions per month. I have unambiguously benefited from the conversations; my Spanish has progressed by leaps and bounds. Whether you are looking to acquire a more neutral Spanish – sort of what Univision would serve up here in the U.S. – or seek deep-dish Castilian expressions, Jero can deliver it. He is well educated and well rounded, thus capable to delve into just about any topic. However, he is strict about correcting glaring mistakes and makes sure that while you are advancing forward, your foundation does not erode.

Melanie Harris, Adelaide, Australia

I really benefitted from the Skype sessions from Spanish Online Courses. My teacher, Trinidad Caballero, was friendly and easy to learn with. From the start she identified and worked from my existing (limited) level of Spanish so I could improve without feeling stressed. Trinidad responded to my requests on what we should cover and had additional ideas when I needed some direction. She was happy to time our sessions to fit with my Australian time zone and my availability. I would really recommend these Skype sessions to other learners who want some one-on-one tuition.
