Testimonials
"I am a TV producer and being able to do business in Spain and Latin
America was a key part of my future, with Carolina, within a few
months, I learnt basic Spanish in a very structured way. With solid
base, she allowed me to move to the next level and I am know able to
operate in Madrid or Caracas with confidence. Carolina is a very
talented teacher, efficient, patient and perfectionist."

"My knowledge of spoken Spanish has improved immeasurably over the year I have had classes with Carolina. Not only is she able to find subjects stimulating for adults, she has also given excellent classes to my teenage daughter to reinforce her Spanish before A level exams."
Huw Pritchard, Muswell Hill
"Carolina Graterol was my Spanish teacher, on a one to one basis for many years. Her lessons were well planned and varied. She had the ability to control the lesson so that every minute of the hour was filled. Intelligent and well informed on current affairs, she prepared interesting articles on which to base a discussion and was able to direct a conversation whilst remaining in control.She found interesting authors for translation exercises and her comments were helpful and informed. Although I studied with her for many years, her classes remained fresh and non formulaic. She is a lively and enthusiastic teacher".
Vivien Hilson, Barnet
"For me, the hardest part of learning a new language was coming to terms with the fact that I, like many other Brits, hadn’t actually cracked English. For the past two years, Carolina, without showing any frustration or irritation, has changed all that and allowed me to catch-up with English grammar whilst teaching, translating and transferring it into Spanish.
She doesn’t wrap your knuckles or appear exasperated when you make up words, get it wrong or forget homework. She allows you to learn at your own pace, but with a polite and often discreet shove forward. Her learning materials are extensive and never boring. Expect to use every learning tool and instrument imaginable, as her scope is massive. She teaches South American and Spanish vocab and accents, so that you’ll never be limited.
Once you’ve reached conversational level, and you will, you’ll be able to occasionally deviate in your lesson from the books, and chat and gossip about all the Spanish cultures throughout the world, that she has taught you about previously.
Not a day goes by, when I don’t feel proud, elated and smug that I speak another language. I welcome any person, wanting a verbal testimonial, to contact me. I would gladly tell them that learning new languages is vital to life and opens doors to others, and that Carolina is and has been an inspiration".

"I found Carolina by chance (notice at Highgate woods), but what a lucky find. She brought my daughter on in leaps and bounds, and she just got an A* for her GCSE. Now starting A Level, we are really grateful."
Merril Epstein, Muswell Hill
