Why we teach Spanish outside, not in a classroom
Classrooms can feel restrictive, especially when learning a new language. That’s why our one-to-one Spanish lessons take place outdoors in York’s beautiful parks and green spaces. By learning in nature, you’ll improve your Spanish speaking skills in a relaxed, real-life setting. Free from pressure and full of conversation.
Here's how it helps:
No classroom pressure
just real conversation
Forget grammar drills and formal desks. Our relaxed, one-to-one walks allow you to practise speaking naturally, building confidence and fluency from the very first session.
Supports memory and
brain health
Walking while learning activates both mind and body, improving concentration and helping you retain new vocabulary more effectively. It’s an ideal brain-friendly routine at any age.
Tailored support,
faster progress
With private outdoor lessons, it’s just you and your tutor. This means the pace, topics, and style are all designed around your needs. No distractions, just meaningful progress in every session.
What our hikers say about us
The judgement-free, conversational style of revising has really bolstered my confidence in both speaking and retaining vocabulary.
Evie Stanford
I've been having Spanish walking lessons with Jayne for the past 3 months. It's great to be outdoors. There's always something to talk about, increase your vocabulary and exercise as well.
Maureen Fulton
It's amazing how much it’s possible to learn when you are enjoying a walk in the fresh air in lovely locations.

Jayne makes learning Spanish fun and interesting, plus walking for fitness is a bonus. It’s a fresh way to learn outside of a classroom.
