    I started as a very basic beginner and have progressed rapidly!

    "My experience with Cristina has been an entirely outstanding experience.  I started as a very basic beginner level and have progressed rapidly! Truly, this is because of Cristina. What makes Cristina so good?  She understands how the brain learns languages and how this can vary from person to person. She is always looking to connect your interests to the process of learning Spanish.  This is highly effective in helping to learn the language. She is also super encouraging. Its incredibly easy to feel frustrated learning a language but every single time we have a lesson, I come away with a new sense of dedication. Finally, our lessons are just plain fun.  Cristina is always very upbeat and positive. And we laugh - a lot! I cannot overstate my recommendation for Cristina". Chris McGhee



    Working with Cristina has led to faster than expected progress, more engagement and motivation to learn more!

    "After trying a number of traditional textbook based courses I have found that working with Cristina towards my own individual goals and targets has been really engaging and much more successful. Acknowledging the progress is great, but seeing the results in the real world really make things sink in and by being more active in conversations, interacting in a more relaxed and natural way and finding your ‘Spanish Voice’ is fantastic and a feeling that makes the hard work all worthwhile". Daven Masri, London


    In just a few months Cristina has brought me to a level in my Spanish that I never thought would be possible!

    "I started with Cristina at beginner level. I had tried learning using books and online using the traditional methods, but I was unable to move forward. There were times i felt deflated but Cristina has the energy to raise you back up and move forwards and upwards. I am now at 'High Intemediate level moving to advanded', Communicating , understanding and loving every minute of this wonderful journey". Janet Husseyin, London.




    Being able to speak confidently and naturally was exactly what I wanted 

    ""I was getting bored with my ’normal’ lessons as I was not progressing and felt stuck. After 3 years learning Spanish, I still didn't have the confidence or know how to have a very basic conversation when in Spain. After an introduction call with Cristina, I instantly felt she knew what tools I needed to reach my goals. The conversations we have in our sessions are fun, interesting and always focused on what is relevant to my life so they are useful and I know I will use the information. I have achieved my goal of being able to have natural conversations with my Spanish friends!" Kaye Stevenson, London



    "I remember feeling so overwhelmed by the speed at which my Spanish speaking colleagues were talking. I was really struggling to understand the slang that was being used. Within the first week of starting, Cristina had already identified the problem I was facing and devised a plan to help me improve. All the tecniques we worked on helped me tremendously and I noticed a difference in my understanding right away. Thanks to Cristina I am happy to say that I converse fluently in Spanish with native speakers and can understand almost any accent. My communication has become so much easier at work and I feel like I can finally say I speak Spanish! " Sydney Diaz, L.A.

    I cannot believe how far I have come; I now have the confidence to speak and not feel self-conscious about it.

    “I had absolutely no confidence in my abilities to speak Spanish to anyone, this filled me with dread as there was only so far I could go with the app. I remember struggling to find the courage to contact Cristina but I am so glad I did!  I booked a taster session first and prior to that session I was so nervous about making a fool of myself.  Well, I need not have worried because Cristina made me feel so relaxed. I have now completed my first 20 sessions and I can honestly say I cannot believe how far I have come; I now have the confidence to speak to Spanish speakers and not feel self-conscious about it. My confidence has grown so much.  I still get things wrong, but Cristina has taught me that it’s ok to get things wrong sometimes, you truly learn from your mistakes. Thank you Cristina." Nicola Axenderrie

    "Myself and Anthony have loved working with Cristina from Your Spanish Dreams. When we started with Cristina we had done some Spanish lessons before, but we were having problems putting it into practice so we were not talking or trying much. The online course was so great because all the topics are so relevant to our lives in Spain, and the course materials are perfect. We also got to practice with Cristina in our one on one lessons twice a week, which really helped cement in the learning and gave us an opportunity to actually speak Spanish. We have gone from always asking ‘Hablas Ingles’ to actually trying in Spanish and feeling more and more confident the more lessons we had with Cristina. We both always try speak it now and the people in Spain are very receptive when you try, it’s wonderful :-D" Nat & Antony, Valencia, Spain.


    If like me, you’ve been studying a while, but anxiety floods you when you actually try to speak with no preparation, creating a complete mental block, then you know exactly where I was at! 

    "I worked with Cristina for 20 sessions. The best way I can describe her is like a friendly encouraging Spanish language coach. Cristina helped me to actually work out what my problems were, what was causing me to stumble and helped me achieve the most important thing of all - to lose my anxiety. It doesn’t matter how naturally confident you are, speaking a foreign language and getting the vital practice in, is really hampered by constant nerves. I discovered that once my nerves had gone, I could access a lot more of my knowledge and gradually as they say ‘poco a poco’ my ability is improving. Thanks Cristina! Worth every penny!!" Isabel R., London



    Cristina helps me find ways of unlocking doors that block my progress.

    "I didn't want a Spanish 'teacher', in the traditional sense. I used to be an English language teacher, I currently live in Spain and I have a strong understanding of how learning works. So I wanted support from a coach, with whom I could agree and plan my learning journey, rather than being led through a pre-existing syllabus. Cristina advises and guides me in the use of language, to help me level-up, but also gently pushes and helps me stay focused amid the distractions and pressures of life! She also helps me find ways of unlocking doors that block my progress. Cristina is friendly, enthusiastic and professional, with a clear coaching mindset and excellent language awareness. I enjoy our lessons and conversations, I look forward to them, and I feel like I've made really good progress". Richard Whiteside, Lucena
