At GD Spanish we offer a variety of courses to suit all abilities including absolute beginners all the way up to those who are fluent and just wish to practice their advanced Spanish in a group setting.
Me llamo Gisela Lorenz Durán. I am from Barcelona and I have been living in England for more than 20 years. I have been teaching Spanish for more than 24 years. I’ve been teaching in Schools, Colleges, Adult Education institutions and also a University. I love to teach, I enjoy it intensely. As my mama keeps telling me, it has been always my vocation and that I was born to teach.
All classes are taught with all my knowledge as a language teacher but also as a language student, I can speak 5 languages. As you can see, communication is my forte.
I invite you to try the classes, you will enjoy them, laugh and learn!
Testimonials
“Learning Spanish with Gisela has taken me from a few incorrectly spoken holiday words to a new world of vocabulary, wherein I am now able to read and converse with the Hispanic community. I also have a good insight of their customs and culture. Gisela is a teacher ‘par excellence’ and has a harmonious relationship with her pupils. Classwork is fun, enjoyable and progressive.”

“For five years, Gisela has put up with my enthusiasm and with my misspelt emails. (She is also understanding of my deafness/assisted hearing.) Nothing is as thorough or as much fun as being taken step by step through exercises with a lively teacher, speaking Spanish with her and with one’s classmates. I can recommend her classes!”

“Gisela’s classes are excellent. Very easy to follow and she is excellent at prioritising the order of subjects we cover. She always sends us a copy of the lesson content after the class so that we can go over it again in our own time. I would not hesitate to recommend the classes to anyone.”
Jack Walker
Business Owner
“After previously trying unsuccessfully to self learn Spanish by myself I started taking beginners Spanish classes with Gisela. Each lesson is well prepared with structured learning with a good blend of key language skills and learning about Spanish culture and traditions, the classes are engaging and always fun, you will be surprised how with the right tuition how quickly you will pick up Spanish and it is really satisfying when you go to Spain and are able to use what you have learned and to be understood!”

“I have been learning Spanish with GD Spanish for about 8 weeks now and am thoroughly enjoying it. The classes are small groups of 8-10 people and Gisela is a great teacher. I initially joined 2 different classes so that I could see which would suit me best however I enjoyed it so much I am still doing both Holiday Spanish and also Improvers! I would recommend to anyone who has an interest in learning not only the language but also about the culture and history of Spain.”

“Great tutor, great students and a great chance to get a real understanding of the Spanish language. I would recommend Gisela to anyone wanting to learn Spanish, whether a complete beginner, or for those wanting to brush up on their existing skills. Great value, great fun and highly recommended.”
Andy Hepa
“I started my Journey with Gisela 3 years ago, she’s an amazing teacher with all the patience in the world. I never expected to feel confident speaking Spanish but she makes you want to keep learning and achieving. I’ve seen students that came to lessons for holiday Spanish and stayed to improvers as classes are fun and a great way to socialise whilst learning an amazing language. Highly recommended for quality and value.”
