The Teacher
Estela Matilla comes from Siciences of Information studies and, during her stay in Leicester, she found her true vocation: teaching Spanish to English speaking people. Currently, she combines her private tuitions with Spanish Business lessons in Santander Bank and her Master's degree in IT Projects Management
The Mission
The mission of these lessons are that each student can reach their owns goals and that don't stop there. I try to transmit the passion for my mother tongue and to make them love it too, beacuse learning a lenguage is also understand the culture of the people who speaks it.
The classroom
As a privat tutor, I mostly teach at home, a lovely and modern flat located just in the Cultural Cuarter of Leicester (UK). The classroom is big and spacious and it is adapted to all the students needs.
During the class, they can enjoy a delicious tea or coffe to warm up the lesson.
I teach to students from all levels and ages. From beginners to advanced, from children to grown people. All of them have a particular aim but they also have something in common: their interest of learning Spanish. I adapt the lessos to the needs and skills of everyone.
The Students
Estela has identified my weakness on learning Spanish and together we have capitalised on making them my strengths. Not only is Estela an amazing teacher but also an out-going, easy person to talk to. This has without a doubt made it easier for me to learn the language as I have become more able to decipher a native Spanish speaker and as a result respond in the language.”
Annika Amin
I began taking lessons with Estela to learn Spanish in October 2013 and from that point on, upon hearing the wonders of the language from a native speaker I immediately developed a passion for the subject.”
Michel Ryder
I have been working on my Spanish with Estela for some time now and I cannot recommend her highly enough.
Estela is always extremely professional in her approach with material prepared in advance - all of which helps me to improve my grasp of the Spanish language.”

Estela makes each lesson interesting and enjoyable and she is always prepared to be flexible over dates/times of lessons.”
