“Miss Duvigneau helped me to achieve a Grade 8 in my Spanish GCSE this summer. She helped me improve my knowledge on all of the Spanish GCSE topics/units through her incredible teaching skills and constant enthusiasm, encouragement and patience. I really enjoyed and most definitely benefitted from my tutoring sessions!”
JessGCSE Spanish student, Grade 8
Amazing! Joanna has been helping my daughter prepare for her Spanish GCSEs and working with Joanna has really improved her confidence in all aspects — reading, writing, listening and even speaking! My daughter previously dreaded her school lessons and was overwhelmed with everything being in the target language. Joanna made the lessons fun and suited her interests to help her connect with the subject better and made it much more accessible for her. Joanna is very well prepared, very familiar with the curriculum and the lessons have made a huge impact. It's been amazing to see the progress and to watch Spanish fast become a favourite subject and she is now even talking about doing it at A Level! I would highly recommend.
Languages have never been my forte, but I was determined to learn Spanish as an adult ahead of embarking on a sabbatical to South America. Joanna not only provided rigorous tutoring, she also made the learning journey super fun. Thanks to her amazing guidance, I started my sabbatical confident in conversational Spanish. I was able to improve this through immersion, and regular virtual check-ins which helped to solidify my understanding. I would highly recommend Joanna for anyone looking to learn Spanish, whether that be students wanting to improve their proficiency ahead of exams or adults interested in learning a new skill.
Joanna is an incredible tutor, with excellent subject knowledge. I decided to take a Spanish GCSE as a mature student and needed a tutor. I was so lucky to have found Joanna — her personality makes for really engaging lessons and she explains things clearly and in an engaging way. She is always well prepared and is excellent at what she does. I'd recommend her to anyone looking to brush up or study from scratch, or any parents looking for a tutor for their children. Really lucky to have found such an inspiring and supportive tutor.

Jo is patient, kind, and well organised, creating a positive and productive learning environment. She listens carefully to the pupil's needs, adapts lessons accordingly, and is flexible with scheduling. Her supportive approach and cultural knowledge result in clear progress and growing confidence, with my daughter successfully achieving above her desired GCSE grade.
Joanna is a fantastic tutor! She provided holiday tuition for my son in Spanish in a concise and clear way, with enormous enthusiasm and encouragement — just what he needed to keep the language fresh in his mind over the long break. He really enjoyed it!

Miss Duvigneau tutored me in Spanish when I was preparing for my GCSEs, and her support made a huge difference. Before working with her, I struggled with confidence in the subject, but she explained everything clearly and made lessons feel relaxed, encouraging and fun. She was always patient, supportive, and really adapted lessons to the areas I found most difficult. Thanks to her help, I passed my GCSE Spanish and felt much more confident in my speaking and understanding of the language. I'd highly recommend her to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, supportive, and genuinely encouraging tutor.
Jo provides personalised, structured, and engaging Spanish lessons. She is very patient and uses interactive activities and conversational games to build vocabulary and confidence. Online lessons are easy to follow, with real-time sharing of materials and feedback. Her encouragement and inclusion of Spanish culture help make fast progress and reduce the fear of making mistakes.
I really enjoyed my classes with Miss Duvigneau. She's really patient and explains things in a way that makes them much easier to understand. My Spanish definitely improved from the extra time I had with her.
Adult learners
Joanna is very passionate when it comes to languages and also knowing a variety of them. Whether you want to learn or improve Spanish as an adult or pupil, Joanna is very enthusiastic, engaging and also very thorough. She will keep you interested in the subject and is very understanding. As a slow learner I don't feel embarrassed and can be comfortable learning from Joanna.
