The Spanish Cat

I have now completed 3 levels at Spanish Cat and have loved them all! Mia has been a supportive, funny and thorough teacher. Mia explains complex topics incredibly well and is patient with us all as we learn. Thank you Mia!

The Spanish Cat is a fantastic place if you want to learn Spanish. The classes are so relaxed and lots of fun. Mia is a brilliant teacher, she is patient, kind and so much fun. We would laugh our way through every class. Highly recommend

I've tried to learn Spanish twice before, and have never felt fully engaged in the class. Mia is so good at keeping it fun while also teaching in a really efficient way. I already feel like I have a pretty good amount of base knowledge on the language, and I'm only just about to start level two. Thankyou Mia! ♥️

If you’re considering learning Spanish I highly recommend Mia’s classes in St Kilda. After a 5 year hiatus I returned to the Spanish Cat and was lucky to have Mia as our class teacher. She is patient, attentive, holistic and mindful of each student strengths and weaknesses.Mia’s classes are fun and interactive she is simply the best educator.

So far I have completed levels 1A and 1B at The Spanish Cat in St Kilda with Mia as my teacher. I have thoroughly enjoyed these classes and learnt a lot. It is my first time learning Spanish so at first I was nervous but it is definitely doable for a beginner. You learn a wide variety of things and Mia also makes the classes fun, not taking it too seriously but giving us a little bit of homework each week to help us continue to practice.I have also made some great new friends from my classes. I am starting level 2 this week and plan to continue on to improve my Spanish :)I believe it is good value for money, with the school offering a discount multiple times of the year for each level.I would highly recommend this class/school to anyone wanting to learn and also have some fun!

After spending a month in Spain and two months in Chile I kicked myself for not taking friends advice and learning Spanish. Better late than never, I decided to take it up when I came back.I've completed 2.5 modules with Mia, starting at the very beginning in January. Initially these classes were held face to face and now across Zoom. Always energetic and fun to be around on a Monday evening, Mia makes the classes really enjoyable. She's very encouraging that we make the most of our class to practice as much as possible despite terrible accents and pronunciations. Mia is from Chile but has lived in Spain as well so can help with either Spanish or Latin American Spanish.If you're thinking about doing it, give it a try you'll really enjoy it. My only advice is to supplement the 90 minute class with podcasts, movies, tv shows, short stories etc to keep the info front and centre. I'm currently reading Eres mi mama? And Me gusta cuando to my ten month old to help me.Buena suerte.

I was an absolute beginner at the start of the year and have completed the 1A and 1B Spanish classes with the lovely Mia. The first course was in person at St Kilda and second was virtual on Zoom. Mia is a real gem - she always makes the classes fun and interesting and is so supportive and a great teacher. I can’t speak highly enough of Mia - thank you!!

I love learning Spanish at the Spanish cat. So far, the teachers I have had (Iliana and Mia) have been really fantastic! Fun, helpful, inspiring and creative. The pace of the class is challenging without feeling overwhelming. I always leave looking forward to the next class. Thanks guys.

A brilliant and fun way to learn espanol! Mia is a fantastic teacher and from the beginner class level really sets the foundations of the Spanish language while also teaching you basic conversation. Will definitely continue to learn with the Spanish Cat, St Kilda!

The classes in St Kilda with Mia are wonderful! Small groups, personal attention, and Mia can't do enough to help her students. Her passion and enthusiasm are infectious, and she's great fun to be around! (It's also a much better location for south-siders!)
