Salamanca House

Salamanca House

... is an online family business founded in Retford, Nottinghamshire in 2016 to teach Spanish to adults and young learners. Though we originally taught in-person classes at a local community centre, we changed to online classes partly as a result of COVID but mainly because we wanted to make our excellent teaching methods and platform available across the entire UK. We are fully committed to encouraging our pupils on their learning journey and take every possible measure to make sure that they are happy in their classes and with their tutor
