Joel is kind and patient  He conducts the lesson in excellent French with a lovely, clear accent  He takes the time to explain how and why parts of the language work as they do, which helps me a huge amount as I need to understand before I can use it. The last session was great and the hour and a half flew by and, I think, some of us were disappointed to finish 10/10.

Thoroughly enjoyed the Spanish lessons at the Olive Tree. Although the lessons were fun we were certainly there to learn, 'la profesora' Penney kept us on our toes.

I would like to thank you very much for the French classes that I have been attending for some time. I enjoy them because they are very friendly and informal, but we also learn a lot and I am sure my French has gone up a level. Of course the coffee and patisserie are a treat enjoyed by the whole class.

A varied and fun way of expanding your knowledge and use of the French language. The small size of the groups and the friendly nature of the tutor makes learning enjoyable - and the cakes aren't bad either.

If you are looking for a relaxed and enjoyable way to learn Spanish then this is the perfect way to learn. I only knew 'Hola' and 'Adios' when I joined Penney's class but in three terms have progressed to understanding conversations, doing presentations and being able to hold an everyday conversation in Spanish. A perfect mix of the atmosphere in the Olive Tree venue, Wine and Tapas and most importantly Penney's informal way of teaching made this the perfect way for me to learn the language as well as some of the Spanish cultures along the way.

The archaeology course has been most enjoyable and informative and Chris

We found Penney's Spanish classes most enjoyable as well as very helpful. Over three terms we progressed from barely knowing a word to being able to correspond with a Spanish friend.
