Christine G Smith Language Services(CGSLS)
An Informal and fun approach to learning a new language
Learning French and Spanish languages in a warm, relaxed and fun environment
Our past and present students have given extremely positive feedback, the core theme being the ease of learning in an environment that is relaxed, supportive, interactive and tremendous fun.
Classroom Teaching
Every session is planned carefully with various different learning styles in mind, tailoring the session to meet each individual's needs. The venues are equipped with audio-visual aids; all teaching materials are made available to every participant, worksheets, self-directed study, progress monitoring and course evaluation are all valued components.
Activity Based Social Events
These events are hugely enjoyed by all who attend. Venues are chosen to match the evening's theme, traditional French and Spanish fayre, drinks and activities are all carefully selected. Good company, mirth and merriment are excellent aids to fun learning!
Individual, Couple and Small Group Tutoring
Tutoring on a one-to-one basis can be arranged for those studying for GCSE's, AS/A2 level programmes of study, International Language Proficiency Tests and also for non-academic purposes. Venues can be mutually agreed. Small group tutorials are always considered useful.

“I have just come back after an amazing Tapas evening with Christine at Consett AFC Football Club. It was very well organised, the atmosphere was lovely, the food delicious and it was fun! Thank you!”
Nathalie, Consett
"Christine is such a great teacher! She makes languages accessible to all through her friendly, welcoming classes. Her lessons are such great value for money; top quality resources and structured learning that helps you revisit and progress at your own pace. I would recommend her pre-booked or private lessons for anyone wanting to dust off their language skills or just beginning to learn the lingo.
I love visiting Spain, and now feel more confident to speak the language; I'm looking forward to my upcoming holiday so I can converse en Espanol"
Laura, Co. Durham
"Just finished 6 week Spanish starter course. What fun Christine makes each lesson with interactive shopping trips Spanish bingo & visits to the airport. I'm signing up for next course. If you fancy learning a new language I can highly recommend Christine"
