After failing to learn Spanish via the various online services we looked around and luckily found Joanne at Animarte.... What a difference this has made to our learning curve and confidence when interacting with Spanish speakers. The big bonus is that the learning is fun too!
Highly Recommended!

Caro Lanzarote

Estuve yendo a clases para el B1 de inglés. Las horas se pasan volando, es muy concisa en sus clases, y las imparte de una manera dinámica y que te permite aprender mejor. Además, es muy cercana con sus alumnos, parece que vas a visitar a una amiga.
Y por supuesto, aprobé mi examen. La recomiendo totalmente, y si en un futuro tengo que prepararme otro, sin duda, volveré con ella.
Mil gracias Joanne

I have been learning Spanish with Joanne for just over a year now. Joanne is very professional and produces lessons specifically for you. As you progress she will help you with your weaknesses, and move on to new subjects once you have mastered one. She finds different ways of getting you to learn new topics thus making it more enjoyable. For example I had a new kitchen fitted recently, so Joanne gave me some work on that. I am now learning distantly in the UK by email, which works well for me as I can fit my learning in as and when I please. I strongly recommend Joanne if you want to learn Spanish.

Joanne se preocupa porque cada una de sus clases sean diferentes, dinámicas y totalmente personalizadas a las necesidades de sus alumnos. Sin duda es una magnífica profesora, perfecta para cualquier rango de edad y nivel en el idioma.

I love having Spanish lessons with Joanne. Not only does she teach you words and sentences but the reasons why and how they are used. Being dyslexic I find a teaching environment very uncomfortable however from the word go Joanne put me at ease and if I find something difficult then she has the most amazing ways of changing and adapting to my way of learning as easily as switching a light switch. I would highly recommend her services for both adults and children.

Joanne is a fantastic language teacher. Her lessons are personalised, easy to understand and great fun. What I love most is that she adapts her courses to meet her students’ objectives - whether that’s conversational Spanish for tourists or exam-level English for those seeking an academic qualification.

The sessions are broken down into clear modules, designed to build on one another and she provides written notes along with all kinds of other resources to help you learn - music, pictures, memes; you name it!

If you’re nervous about learning Spanish or English, you’ll be in great hands. Joanne is a highly experienced coach and will put you at ease, as soon as you meet her.

Courses are available in-person (COVID permitting) or online and the fees are good value, given the quality of the tuition. Highly recommended.

Joanne was introduced to me around 12 months as I had an ambition to learn Spanish with the beautiful Island of Lanzarote being our second home.Joanne is a true professional. She has innovative ways to support your learning and always keeps it relevant and conversational based.I would recommend Joanne without any question for those whio want to learn Spanish and for our Spanish amigos who want to learn English.

Animarte, the lovely Joanne, is extremely patient with her students, and has an exceptional manner with children especially. Highly recommended for private or small groups both in English and Spanish.
