"5 star, highly recommend!! Carla has been an absolute delight to have as a teacher over the past 10 lessons. In the limited time we had together we covered a huge range of content and on top of that I was given an incredible authentic inside into the culture of her home in Ecuador (even made me some delicious South American empanadas!!. Fair to say the Galapagos Islands are now firmly on the bucket list. Carla backed up lessons with a unique variation of interestings and engaging homework which helped me to progress each week and fuelled myinterest in the beautiful language. So very entretaining we had lots of laughs and I honestly will miss seeing her every Tuesday night. Will 100% be going back before I head off to South America." Dan.       

"I booked 10 sessions with Carla to start learning Spanish from scratch for my upcoming trip to South America. Carla was professional, coming very prepared for every lesson and giving me lots of resources to take home, flexible, allowing and catering for my own hectic schedule, and also very knowledgeable about the customs and traditions in the places I was planning to visit! Learnt a lot of basics for everyday use as well as greatly improved pronunciation, am feeling much more confident for my trip. Gracias Carla!." Daniel.

"Carla was great she taught us (myself and my 14 year old son) For 10 lessons each of which was very informative and she has a lot of great techniques to keep learning interesting! For instance the use of short videos or children’s games. I highly recommend her as a teacher wether you are just starting out or wanting to step up your existing knowledge. Thank you." Donna.

"I started Spanish lessons with Carla in April this year. Carla has been a great tutor! She works hard to tailor each lesson to my learning needs. I have found Carla to be a kind, caring and approachable person. She makes each Spanish lesson fun and interactive. I would highly recommend Carla as a Spanish tutor for anyone wanting to learn Spanish or improve their current Spanish level." Julia C, University of Otago Student.

"Recently I had several Spanish lessons from Carla because I want to travel to countries where Spanish is the main language. I wanted some lessons with someone who has Spanish as their first language. Carla made the lessons interesting and adapted them to my anticipated needs while travelling and gave me information about the culture, food, and places of interest to a visitor. I warmly recommend Carla's Spanish lessons." Sincerely Margaret.

Once again thank you for the lessons." Mark K.

"I have been having Spanish lessons from Ms Carla Vieira over two years now. During this period, I have found her to be an outgoing and sympathetic person and an excellent teacher and communicator. Ms Vieira has an excellent command of English and is continually working to extend her vocabulary and grammatical knowledge. I thoroughly recommend her for the interpreting position she is seeking." Alister.

"I really enjoy Carla's Spanish classes and look forward to going to them every week.  Carla has all the qualities of a fantastic teacher - she is knowledgeable, enthusiastic and encouraging.  She's been teaching me all about the language and culture of her country of Ecuador and next year she's going to help me prepare for the Diploma de Español como Lengua Extranjera (DELE) qualification.  Carla will adapt the classes to suit your specific needs and she takes down notes of all the new words etc. for you so you can just relax.  We normally do the lessons in Spanish but Carla also speaks good English so can translate for you if necessary.  It's really fun to learn Spanish with Carla; I highly recommend her classes." Katrina.

"I have observed her (Carla) teaching a class in English and Spanish. Due to Carla's command of both languages she was asked to teach the 'Learning a foreign language module' at our English tutor training programme. I was extremely impressed with Carla's excellent lesson preparation, teaching and professionalism. Carla has an excellent understanding of the structure of languages and delighted trainee tutors with her exclusive teaching style that challenged and involved them in the learning process. Carla made a great impact on trainees and has been invited to deliver the training module to all our subsequent classes." Paul Naidu.
