Testimonials

I have done 3 terms so far, and loving it. Jan makes the classroom so open and really helps you get confident to speak. The classes are small groups so you get a lot of time with the teacher and also practicing with classmates.
August 22, 2024The beginners class has been terrific. It has been interesting, challenging and fun. Our teacher Hector is a very capable, dedicated teacher. I am learning so much and will definitely continue with Farolita!
March 15, 2023Confidence in my conversational Spanish really grew after attending Farolito Spanish. It’s such a great environment with small class sizes and the teacher. Really enjoyed the weekly classes as it motivates you to study before the class and keeps you accountable. Highly recommend!!

I have been with Farolito Spanish school for one term and I recommend this school for anyone trying to learn Spanish. The course is structured clearly and the text book they use is very helpful (across several levels). My groups teacher, Sara, is very friendly and makes you feel comfortable!
March 26, 2024Farolito has excellent Spanish classes. The classes are taught in a structured way with a relaxed atmosphere. I don't feel like i'm missing out on anything by doing the online courses which suit me well as I live far from the city! Jan is a great teacher and I would highly recommend trying out Farolito 🙂

The teachers always have a smile on their faces and are so friendly and make you feel so comfortable during the class. Great value for the course as well. I’m excited to see my Spanish skills grow! ????
July 6, 2020Fun and easy to follow lessons, provided great resources and really enjoyed the online content! Learning from home was great as it gave me the chance to start my goal of learning Spanish while juggling work and family commitments. Big thanks to Mia!
August 1, 2020Absolutely love the classes and the teaching. It is the highlight of my week. I enjoy the small classes and the homely experience. The teachers are native speakers and I am amazed at their wealth of knowledge regarding the language and customs of the spanish speaking world. Felicidades! Nicholas Parellis

Fantastic school, really helped me get on top of mi Espanol and made it fun! Would recommend to anyone, whether the professionals or someone looking to start. Muchas Gracias!!
April 21, 2021My Tuesday evening face to face Spanish classes are always the highlight of my week! The small class of seven other students is a great environment to learn a new language as I feel comfortable speaking to my classmates one on one and in front of the whole class. Jan is a fantastic teacher who uses his linguistics background to paint a complete picture of the Spanish language from the origins of words to the structure of the sounds. I am already keen to re-enrol for Term 2 to further build upon the basics and essentials covered in Term 1. ¡Muchas gracias Jan y Farolito!

I have thoroughly enjoyed my first term at Farolito Spanish school. There’s a lot of class participation to practice speaking and listening with the teacher and other students, which is what I wanted out of the classes. Jan is a very patient and knowledgeable teacher, he always has tips and tricks on how to pronounce and remember words, they have been super helpful. Looking forward to another term of aprender español.

After putting off learning Spanish for years, I am so glad I found this place Farolito has been fun and interactive. Jan is an excellent teacher. See you next term ... Diana
March 6, 2024Classes at Farolito are fantastic, teachers use a range of strategies to build confidence and skill with Spanish. They structure lessons to get you talking and support with specific needs along the way
August 28, 2023I had been using Apps to learn Spanish online and I realized my Spanish cannot be improved by just studying online as I have no one to practice with and no interactions. Then, I found Farolito, the classes are fun and easy to follow, great teachers here. Contents in the class are just good to follow, which can keep up my interest in Spanish.

First time learning Spanish at Farolito and loving every class! A great way to learn a language, featuring a supportive interactive class environment, great resources and friendly & approachable tutor. Highly recommend joining if interested in learning Spanish 🙂
November 21, 2023Pillar is an amazing teacher and made me feel so welcome! Classes at Farolito are well planned and I feel I am really improving my Spanish! Would recommend 🙂
July 2, 2022The beginner classes with Jan have been great. Group size is small so it's quite personal. Jan is approachable and professional. We needed to have a few classes online due to restrictions and it was a seamless transition. I look forward to future classes at Farolito and recommend it to anyone looking to improve their Spanish

I couldn’t be happier with the classes I have taken at Farolito. It’s accessible, informative and lots of fun. I love the way the culture of Spain and Latin America is a part of every class, it keeps me engaged and wanting to continue learning. I had Sarah for beginner 1 & 2 and I loved her passion and energy and now have Jan for beginner 3 who has taken things to the next level. Really loving the class. For anyone interested in learning Spanish I highly recommend this school.
August 21, 2024Starting to learn Spanish at Farolito has been a great experience. The classes are always engaging and interactive (regardless of whether they are online or in-person). Jan's knowledge of languages generally really stands out, and his approach to teaching beginners is first class.
