2026 SPANISH CLASSES

 


SPANISH CLASSES



Learn Spanish in a natural, creative, and confidence-building way

Welcome to a fresh approach to learning Spanish, offered online via Zoom and face-to-face in Brisbane, Australia.

Classes are facilitated by Gemma Garcia, a native of Spain and also Australian, with extensive experience teaching Spanish to both adults and children.


Expert Guidance

Gemma Garcia offers expert guidance grounded in experience, empathy, and a deep understanding of how people truly learn.

Her approach is holistic, supportive, and empowering, with a strong focus on building confidence and natural communication skills rather than perfection.

Gemma has developed her own way of learning and teaching Spanish, shaped by

her personal journey learning English, her Certificate IV in Training and Assessment, her background in Gestalt Art Therapy

and intuitive, human-centred learning techniques that move away from “shame learning” and the fear of making mistakes.

Gemma holds the BLUE CARD

With this approach, learners feel supported to explore the language at their own pace, develop real-life communication skills, and gain confidence in a safe and encouraging learning environment.
