Do you want to know who is behind the success of Bcn House School?
Hello there! We are Laura and María, founders of Bcn House School and our aim is and will be to offer you the best quality and results in online language teaching.
And who are Laura and María?
We are certified Spanish teachers for foreigners who have been teaching for over twenty years with absolute dedication and true vocation. We do know what you need to learn a language quickly and efficiently. Years ago we challenged ourselves to create our own school and the pandemic rushed us overnight into transforming our physical schools into a modern online one. After two years working online we have proved that it is possible to offer a learning experience with equal or even better results that in-person format. We are here to place at your disposal all our experience and enthusiasm in order to include Spanish language as one of your new skills. Bcn House School is meant to be online.

Laura has been an extraordinary person during all the 6 months of my Spanish courses and this totally reflects not only her work but also her personality. The classes were totally adapted to my needs, and she was always there to clarify my doubts about the correct use of the Spanish language. I feel lucky to have her as a teacher as I have loved Spanish and have learnt a lot about the Spanish culture.’’

What do students say about Maria?

Maria is not only a very kind, friendly and fun person, but also a great teacher. I have been learning Spanish with her for over a year now. I started from scratch and today I am able to communicate with other people, watch films and read books in Spanish. With her educational skills, her patience and her tireless motivation the hours of class with Maria go by super fast and are also a lot of fun - we laugh a lot! It feels like talking for an hour with a friend, a friend who knows a lot about her country and its history. Maria is also able to explain the Spanish grammar in a very structured and understandable way. Apart from grammar, I learn a lot about Spanish culture, Spanish traditions and food - Maria is an endless source of recommendations for the best restaurants in Barcelona! I have never met such a great teacher in my life.
