Testimonials

Anna simplifies the task of learning a language for those with no prior experience. It is amazing what you can learn is a short time. Anna also makes the classes a lot of fun.

I love learning Italian with Anna. Her lessons are relaxed, informal and informative. Anna cares about the progress of her students, keeping them motivated but not overwhelmed and at the same time developing a love for the language. Being a native speaker she has anecdotes relating to the language and the country which enhance joy in learning and certainly entices us to travel with our new found skills.

DeLynne was a fabulous French teacher and made the experience a lot of fun for us without making us feel silly for our very poor Français!

I very much enjoyed the classes with DeLynne. She is a very good teacher and makes the classes fun. You know you have been to a good class when you look at the clock for the first time and it is already ten minutes before the class is due to finish.

Anna has been my Spanish teacher for over four years now. I have come to value her comprehensive knowledge of the Spanish language, customs and history. Her classes have depth, quality and variety. I particularly value the way that she challenges us with conversation and translation but at the same time quietly helping us when we are having difficulty. The classes are enjoyable and inclusive for all of us and she is always available out of class for extra help.

Over the past eight years my wife and I have studied Italian with Anna at Coolum. The classes are kept small, the environment is informal and the learning is fun. We’ve traveled to Italy in the last few years and it has been fun – and at times very helpful to converse with the locals, albeit at a fairly rudimentary level.

If you would like to learn Spanish in a friendly, pressure free environment, then I recommend you learn with Anna De Peron. In her class you will speak Spanish from the very first lesson and you will be confident in no time at all. Now that I have made some progress with the language I can’t wait to put into practice what I have learnt overseas!

Anna has a way of making things stick that I would have trouble remembering on my own. We also have a lot of fun in class and learn some interesting words to try out on our partners. (My wife is Argentinian). I have no hesitation in recommending her courses.

Anna De Peron has been my Italian and Spanish teacher. I have found her knowledge of the languages extensive, her ability to teach successful and her enthusiasm for the job delightful. As a mature student who pays to be taught I expect a high level of organization and engagement. Anna has provided both and greatly assisted my learning.
