The Spanish Cat

I just have finished my first level at this school. I don’t find it’s beneficial to be honest. Quite often it was frustrating how we started learning something new until we finilised the previously topic. You always keep moving forward without repeating/ refreshing the previous class. It’s not enough homework to make you effectively working and improving. I do believe the books designed for a different lessons frequency. The approach is way different from what I experienced when studying English. Anyway, it’s my 5 cents. On a positive note Mia was great and lesson were fun.

My classes were taught by Mia and she is indeed an amazing teacher who wants to make sure every question is answered and everyone keeps up with the progress. She's also got a great personality and attitude. On another hand, I believe the learning approach of the course could be improved. Every week's topic seemed to have little connection to the previous week with little to no repetition of the material. From my understanding, knowing less but confidently is better than a little bit of everything. Hence I think there should be more focus on revising the material. Also, adding a fixed vocabulary list that is revised every week would be beneficial. I would also suggest to have more homework and good practices to check it. Overall, though, I completely agree that one 1,5 hrs group class per week is not enough to cover everything. While learning a new language it is important to work a lot in the spare time. Mia, thanks for all the efforts and assistance.

The classes in St Kilda with Mia are wonderful! Small groups, personal attention, and Mia can't do enough to help her students. Her passion and enthusiasm are infectious, and she's great fun to be around! (It's also a much better location for south-siders!)

I never thought learning a new language would be so much fun!
i am now equipped with basic spanish for my south american travels
Thank you so much Mia!
Tomas!

Over half way through the Level 1A course with Mia and thoroughly enjoying the experience, the language and the friendly and supportive learning environment that Mia has created.

Just completed level 1A and beginning level 1B. Mia is an excellent teacher and makes each class extremely entertaining! I almost gave up attempting to learn Spanish until I found the Spanish Cat. I officially have a new found love for it!

So far I have completed levels 1A and 1B at The Spanish Cat in St Kilda with Mia as my teacher. I have thoroughly enjoyed these classes and learnt a lot. It is my first time learning Spanish so at first I was nervous but it is definitely doable for a beginner. You learn a wide variety of things and Mia also makes the classes fun, not taking it too seriously but giving us a little bit of homework each week to help us continue to practice.
I have also made some great new friends from my classes. I am starting level 2 this week and plan to continue on to improve my Spanish:)
I believe it is good value for money, with the school offering a discount multiple times of the year for each level.
I would highly recommend this class/school to anyone wanting to learn and also have some fun!

Even though learning a new language always difficult, the classes were really fun and well-taught. It really motives me to learn more. I am really appreciated to try this new experience with Mia and other classmates. It was fun and encouraging!

The Spanish Cat classes with Mia in St Kilda are muy muy muy bien! Smaller classes with extra help and attention for each student and ability. I would really recommend!

Really enjoyable classes that are fun, informative and lead at a good pace! Mia is a great teacher and is excellent at explaining the concepts to us. She is amazing at catering for the different styles of learning and incorporating all components of language learning into her classes. The St Kilda room is super easily accessible too! Cannot rave about these classes enough!

Hola! I have just completed level 1 with Mia in St KIlda. I highly recommend it. It is a fun, relaxing and informative class. Looking forward to Level 2. Muchas gracias Mia:)

Initially, it was scary to learn a new language, but as i went through 1A and 1B classes with Mia and others, it became fun and exciting. Would recommend it to anyone who is keen to learn and try new experience and meet new friends! The atmosphere is very welcoming and warm. Prices are affordable and class time flys as you learn so much.

I personally did not know any spanish till I joined the spanish cat (other than hello). Mia is my teacher and she is excellent at what she does. SHe is someone who always goes above and beyond to help her students.

She has made Spanish simple and I can't thank her enough:)

For a person who didn't know much Spanish other than 3 words, i found it really easy to learn the topics and develop my skills throughout the course of 1A with Mia at StKilda.

She is very easy going and really likes to help. When i had trouble with certain concepts she went out of her way and emailed me further examples which really helped.

Highly highly recommend Mia and Spanish Cat StKilda.

It the best experience and/or fantastic course I throughly enjoyed every minute of it and plus Lillian was so fantastic and made the class very enjoyable and I love the way she says “Super Cute” and “Very Cute” in the way she describes things and i highly recommend the Spanish Cat to anyone that wants to learn Spanish and also you socialise with other people in the class, I give it 1000 stars

Thanks

I love learning Spanish at the Spanish cat. So far, the teachers I have had (Iliana and Mia) have been really fantastic! Fun, helpful, inspiring and creative. The pace of the class is challenging without feeling overwhelming. I always leave looking forward to the next class. Thanks guys.

Me gustó muchísimo - I really enjoyed the classes and totally recommend them to anyone keen to learn Spanish. Muchas gracias to my teacher Iliana and all at The Spanish Cat!

Marcella is an amazing teacher who is patient and kind, but also makes classes fun and interactive. I feel I have really improved my Spanish over my many courses with the Spanish Cat. I highly recommend it!

I have studied here from level 1A right up to level 7 and loved every minute of it. The teachers are patient, understanding and approach teaching with an evident passion for the language and their culture. My Spanish has improved drastically because they make you want to learn. It's never felt like a chore. Can't speak highly enough of this place! Thanks guys:)

Teacher was great, but the social activities advertised on the web site werent promoted at all at the school and the interior was dreary and drab.the guy at the desk didnt look happy and didnt smile at all
