Reviews and Testimonials
Posted on martina sheridanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Mila (Spanish School) is an absolute hidden treasure in Dublin 15. Professional & passionate in the teaching of her Spanish language & Incredibly affordable. My son is attending regarding Leaving Cert Honours level and loves it. My only criticism is that her classes tend to run over the allotted time 😊 which re-enforces how incredibly genuine and caring Mila is. We couldn’t recommend her enough.Posted on iseult cumminsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I highly recommend the Institute, Mila is a lovely teacher. I was nervous but she made me feel really relaxed. We covered a lot of material and it has motivated me to learn more myself. She tailored the classes to what I needed which was fantastic, I learned so much. Thank you Mila!Posted on Mary ConneelyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Mila is a great teacher and her classes will definitely improve your Spanish!Posted on Siobhan RocheTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have been a student at the Dublin Institute of Spanish for the past three years. During that time, I have had excellent tuition from Mila. She prepares her lessons thoroughly and tailors them to your ability. She sets homework assignments and corrects them with you. I asked that a portion of my class would be devoted to conversation and we start each class now with a chat. Mila also provides a free conversation session on Zoom for pupils of the same level. I find the session really helpful. Recently, Mila prepared me for the B1 DELE exam. I passed it with her excellent guidance. I would highly recommend classes with the Dublin Institute of Spanish. Siobhán Roche. ( Retired Primary Teacher )Posted on Colm GannonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Excellent teaching skills with clear and concise explanation for the student, no matter if the question is too big or small. Each session is met with a warm welcome and smile. Mila is also very accommodating with session times during my work schedules and I wish her the very best in the upcoming classes.Posted on pietro tedoneTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have started studying spanish with Mila during pandemic as i wanted to add spanish to my professional curriculum. Mila has been really great in tailoring the teaching around my necessities and level, plus she was super flexible to accomodate our sessions with my changing working schedule... Learning was also real fun as she is really a people person and it's no nice to have conversations on any topic..... I couldn't desire for better teacher and i highly recommend for any level of student!Posted on Aileen MitchellTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have been having lessons with Mila for over two years now and I highly recommend her . Her lessons are very well organised on zoom and she has access to a wide range of resources which are incorporated into the lessons so that they are varied, interesting and practical. Mila goes over and beyond in and out of the lessons especially when I was preparing for the Dele B1 exam . Her help with the exam, particularly for the writing and oral sections were invaluable. Mila is very personable and down to earth and as such my Spanish conversation skills have vastly improved in a relaxed lesson environment. Mila always follows up the lesson with a summary of what I learned so that I can refer back to it as and when required. Again , I have no hesitation in recommending Mila for Spanish lessonsPosted on Desmond HickleTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. An absolutely amazing couple of weeks spent learning Spanish. I needed to learn quite a large amount of Spanish before my leaving cert exam and was expecting to have to drop down to ordinary level, however thanks to Mila’s help I was able to get a rather good grade in higher which helped me to obtain my 500 points. Thank you so much. I suggest Mila 100%Posted on Iwona ZaleskaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
