LEARN FROM A
QUALIFIED SPANISH TEACHER

¡Hola! I’m Helen!
I’m a QUALIFIED Teacher for Spanish and have been teaching for 20 years. I hold a degree in Spanish and Post Graduate Certificate in Education for Modern Foreign Languages, the international gold standard in teaching qualifications. I have taken thousands of students through their language learning journey and am also a member of The Tutors Association, the UK professional body for Tutors. Not only that, but I’m TRULY passionate about Spanish food, language and culture. You can be assured that you’re in good hands!

Is the academy right for you?

Maybe you’ve tried learning Spanish before and it didn’t stick, or maybe you’re brand new and not sure where to start?
Founding Members will get the first opportunity to experience this unique Academy, and here’s who it’s designed to help…

  • Expats who are ready to integrate into Spanish life, connect with locals, and feel at home.
  • Holidaymakers who want to confidently order food, drinks, and experiences instead of relying on English.
  • Foodies who want to enjoy Spain’s culture on a deeper level through recipes, fiestas, and authentic traditions.
  • Beginners (or “false beginners”) who may have “failed” with traditional grammar-heavy methods and want a fun, motivating way that actually works.
  • Anyone who believes communication is better than perfection — and is ready to swap fear for confidence.
  • You’re only looking for a quick holiday phrasebook and don’t want to actually practice speaking.
  • You’re hoping to become fluent overnight without putting in a little regular practice.
  • You prefer dry grammar drills and rote memorisation for their own sake, rather than learning grammar naturally in context.
  • You’re not interested in food, culture, or conversation — just exam-style Spanish.

New Spanish Recipes
EVERY MONTH

Spain has such a vast array of culinary dishes that you can never run out. We give you a new one to try each month and all our monthly activities are focussed on the featured recipe. 

Got questions? You can ask them in the lessons and in our friendly and supportive private community.

WEEKLY
Live Group Lessons

We host live group lessons that will pick out the most important grammar, vocabulary and structures, not just in the recipes we use but also in the culture-focussed lessons. You’ll learn exactly how to use them, not only in relation to cooking but in infinite other contexts too. 

Not got time to join in the live sessions? That’s OK. These sessions are recorded so you can access them at any point. 

Live Speaking Practice
EVERY WEEK

It’s too common to struggle with being able to speak the language and you’re certainly not alone, so we offer weekly sessions for members where you can get support with this skill in a judgement-free environment. 

Your tutor will use a variety of techniques to help you overcome any issues and build your confidence and ability. Plus, it helps massively being with others in exactly the same boat.

MONTHLY
Cook-Along

This really is the highlight of the month! On the last week of each month we gather together in our kitchens for a social learning session and make the recipe live. Cook-along with us while we chat about the recipe and cooking.

Plus it’s a GREAT way to get to know others in the community and form strong friendships with others who love the same things: Spanish, cooking and culture. It’s sooooo much fun. Not to be missed!

24/7 COMMUNITY
For Spanish Language, Cuisine & Culture

As a founding member, you get 24/7 access to our private online community, where you can ask anything, day or night.  

Want to check you understand how a tense works? Great. Want to ask about a recipe? Cool. Join our community groups, take part in our community challenges and get replies from your tutor as well as other members. It’s a great place to connect with others too. 

On-Demand Learning

We know your time is precious. Can’t make it to our live sessions? Want to access recipes we’ve covered previously? No worries. We’ve got it all covered. 

Our complete back catalogue of resources and all our previous group session recordings are available to every one of our amazing members; both new and old. Consume it all in one go or access it in bite-sized chunks as and when it suits you. It’s entirely your choice.

Frequently Asked Questions

As a Founding Member, you’ll be part of the Academy’s very first group. That means your feedback will help shape future lessons and resources — and you’ll lock in the lowest price ever: £125/month for life. Future members will pay more as the Academy grows, but your rate will never increase.

You’ll also get to shape the future of the academy by telling us what you want to see and learn so your learning will be tailored o YOU.

That’s exactly who the Academy is designed for! Even if the only Spanish you know is hola, you’ll start with simple, practical phrases you can use straight away. Each lesson builds step by step, so you’ll never feel lost — and before you know it, you’ll be ordering tapas and chatting with locals with confidence.

If you struggled with languages at school or felt like you were “bad” at them, it wasn’t because you weren’t capable — it was because the method wasn’t right for you. Traditional teaching relies on memorisation and grammar drills, which can drain motivation and confidence.

The Academy is different. You’ll learn through experiences — cooking Spanish dishes, joining fiestas, and having real conversations — so the language sticks naturally. And here’s the secret: motivation is everything in language learning. If you enjoy food, culture, and connection, you’ll find plenty of motivation here, which means this time, it will click.

No worries — that’s why the Academy is built around short, engaging lessons and practical challenges you can fit into everyday life. Just 2 hours a week is enough to make good progress. And because you’re learning through food, conversation, and culture, it doesn’t feel like extra work — it feels like fun.

No, although you’ll find you progress more quickly if you do. Replays and materials are included in the course so that you can learn at your own pace if you miss a lesson or revisit what you’ve learnt.

Not at all! Whether you’re planning to move, own a holiday home, travel regularly, or simply love Spanish food and culture, you’ll benefit. And if you are living in or visiting Spain, you’ll be able to apply what you learn instantly — at the market, in restaurants, and with your neighbours.

You’re not alone — many learners feel the same at first. That’s why the Academy creates a safe, supportive environment where mistakes are part of the process (and often celebrated with laughter). Step by step, your confidence will grow, and soon you’ll be speaking Spanish in real situations without that knot in your stomach.

Most learners notice changes within the first few weeks — like confidently ordering food, greeting neighbours, or understanding menus. These small wins add up, and as you keep going, you’ll find yourself handling real conversations more naturally than you ever thought possible.

Most courses focus on memorisation and grammar rules, which is why learners often forget what they’ve studied. The Academy is built on experiential learning — which means you’ll learn Spanish while living it: cooking paella, tasting tapas, joining fiestas, and chatting in everyday situations.

When you connect words to food, culture, and real experiences, the language sticks like glue. You won’t just study Spanish — you’ll live it. That’s what makes the Academy truly different, and why your progress will last.

No problem! Cooking is just one of the fun ways we bring Spanish to life, but it’s not the only way. Every recipe lesson is optional, and you’ll also learn through conversation practice, cultural activities, games, and real-life scenarios like ordering in restaurants or joining fiestas. Many members join for the culture and conversation, and they still make fantastic progress.

You’ll have ongoing access to all the lessons, resources, and community for as long as you remain a member. That means you can learn at your own pace, revisit lessons whenever you like, and never feel rushed. We designed the Academy to fit into real life — so whether you want to go step by step or binge lessons when you’re inspired, the choice is yours.

You’ll never be left on your own. Alongside the self-paced lessons, you’ll get access to our private community where you can ask questions, get feedback, and connect with others. Plus, we will keep you motivated. If you ever feel stuck, you’ll always have a place to turn for guidance, encouragement, and support.
