Testimonials

“Buenos días! Kristina is simply a total sweetheart and always prepared (even when I only let her know at the last minute). I switched schools and had to "convert" from French to Spanish. With Kristina it only took me 7 lessons! In 7 lessons I caught up with classmates who'd been studying Spanish for 4 months. Kristina has really effective, fun games, activities and exercises up her sleeve, which is how I managed it ♥️ (and of course, we also listened to a few Spanish hits along the way). I recommend Kristina to everyone!!! Hasta pronto, Kristina.”

“Kristina Uhnak is an incredibly skilled teacher. Since I'm a language teacher myself, I'm pretty demanding when it comes to the quality and professionalism of people in the same field. I really love her teaching style — she's always perfectly prepared, systematic, and every single lesson with her is interesting, whether we're doing conversation or grammar. I have to say she's even an inspiration for my own French and Italian lessons (the languages I teach). Highly recommend!”

“We recommend Spanish lessons with Kristina Uhnak to anyone who wants to learn the language effectively and enjoyably. Every lesson was perfectly prepared, the topics and activities were interesting, and we were never bored. Kristina is a wonderful person and an excellent teacher in one — her approach and teaching style are great, and within a short time we were already able to hold our own conversations in Spanish on different topics. The atmosphere in the lessons was always relaxed and pleasant; during our conversations it often felt like having coffee with a friend 🙂 As for materials, everything was clearly organised, and Kristina always gave us extra tips to keep developing our Spanish outside the lessons. She always knew how to motivate us, explain the grammar we sometimes struggled with 😀 and after every lesson we felt we'd made progress and looked forward to the next one. Muchas gracias por todo, Kristina!”

“Kristina Uhnak is a fantastic teacher who loves her job, and it shows in the quality of her lessons. They're fun, varied, interesting and, above all, genuinely educational. After every lesson I left feeling like I'd both reinforced what I already knew and learned something new. Everything was always perfectly organised. We keep all our lesson notes in a shared Google document I can go back to anytime, which I think is really effective because you never lose anything. I started Spanish with Kristina completely from scratch in September 2020 (before that I couldn't even say hello), and two years later I was able to go study at the university in Granada in Spanish. The reason I stuck with Spanish for so long is that I could see real progress, thanks to how effective her teaching is. I also love that the lessons are relaxed and pressure-free. Kristina always takes an interest in my hobbies and shapes the topics around them. She's a truly inspiring person, and I'd go so far as to say that if every teacher were like her, the standard of education in Slovakia would take a huge step forward.”

“Kristina helped me bring my Spanish grade up from a fail to top marks. She helped me stop being afraid to speak Spanish and was always really kind. Especially with grammar, she explained everything in a way I understood right away. Whenever I had a test coming up, I'd call her and she'd always find time for me, even on weekends. Thank you.”

“Kristina is exactly who you're looking for when you want to learn Spanish. She strikes the right balance between professional and friendly. She always comes fully prepared, and during the lesson you won't hear a word of anything but Spanish — which is incredibly useful whether you're a beginner or already fluent. She's kind, funny, and very patient, which to me is essential. I never thought I could actually want to learn a language, but Kristina completely changed how I see it.”

“Kristina, you're the best. An incredibly patient teacher who motivates you and finds a way to teach even someone with zero talent for languages. I really appreciate that she has knowledge across so many different areas and would prepare materials and vocabulary related to my business for every lesson.”

“Since I needed a genuinely strong CV and cover letter to get into a volunteer organisation in Spain, I reached out to Kristina to see if she could help me create something truly original that would stand out. I was really happy with her approach and how prepared she was. The time in the lessons was genuinely valuable for me. I loved that Kristina kept checking in even after the lessons ended, to see how my CV and cover letter turned out. I'd recommend her without hesitation to anyone who loves Spanish, values a professional approach, and appreciates understanding, approachable people. A truly attentive and lovely person.”

“If I had to recommend a Spanish teacher, it would be Kristina Uhnak, hands down. Her lessons were nothing like the ones you get at a language school, where you follow a fixed syllabus and set steps. She tailored every single lesson to my needs, brought in lots of interesting material, and I never even noticed the time passing. She's very professional, and at the same time gives off a positive energy that makes you feel genuinely at ease around her. I'm so glad I got the chance to take lessons with her!”

“I can recommend Kristina as a teacher without hesitation. I've been learning Spanish with for more than a year and a half now. Our lessons feel like meeting up with a good friend for coffee — except in a language we both love. Kristina is a fantastic teacher, our lessons are interesting, dynamic and varied, and I always come away with energy and a hunger to learn more. I love not just the lessons themselves but also the extra material Kristina sends during the week — podcasts, videos, an interesting article here and there. Beyond being a great teacher, Kristina is above all a wonderful person: honest, inspiring, with a genuinely positive outlook on life and on her work. I could write so much more. If you love Spanish, Spain, its culture, its people, its food and its way of life, and you want to learn this beautiful language, Kristina is hands down the best choice. Muchas gracias por todo, my friend and teacher.”

“I've been taking Spanish lessons with Kristina alongside work for over a year now. I started with her from absolute zero, and within a year she'd helped me reach a level where I could travel to Spain on my own and take a Spanish course in that wonderful country. She prepared me for every situation I might run into, and that helped even in the more stressful moments, when all that came to mind was what we'd learned together. I want to say I've thanked her countless times for finding such a fantastic teacher. Not only is she always prepared, flexible, and does she tailor the lessons and topics to my own pace of learning in a fun way, she always goes the extra mile too. She creates a warm, friendly atmosphere, sends me podcasts, videos and materials even outside of lessons, never stops improving and developing the quality of her lessons, and knows how to lift you up on those occasions when your enthusiasm for learning "slips away" for a bit. Those little extras are precious, and I'm grateful there are people like Kristina who put so much heart into their work.”

“Kristina really is an outstanding teacher. I've been through plenty of language schools, courses and university subjects, and Kristina Uhnak is, without a doubt, the best language teacher I've ever had. I studied Spanish with her for 3 years alongside university, one two-hour lesson a week, and thanks to her I went from zero Spanish to a B2 communicative level, which let me go on Erasmus to Granada and study Medicine there in Spanish. Kristina prepared me not just linguistically but culturally too — before I left we went over medical terminology, talked about customs in Spain, the education system... Thanks to that I felt completely ready for my time and studies there. Articles, activities, conversations, videos, podcasts — with Kristina it's simply impossible not to fall in love with Spain and long to live in Spanish every day. She tailors the lessons exactly to each person's needs, never stops developing her own skills, and her lessons are always fun and educational, full of great energy and atmosphere. I wish there were more teachers as good as her!”

“I honestly can't say anything bad — I'm extremely happy with these lessons. Kristina taught me Spanish brilliantly and also helped me change my whole approach to learning, for the better, teaching me to find the beauty in Spanish and actually enjoy the language. Lessons with her are engaging and fun, and overall I really enjoy this tutoring. The setting and surroundings are relaxing too. Kristina is also very understanding on the odd occasion I'm late, even though I hate being late. I don't know what else to say — for anyone who wants to learn Spanish and values a great rapport, I wholeheartedly recommend Kristina.”

“Lessons with Kristina helped me enormously in preparing for my final exams. She organised the lessons really well, and on top of that they were never boring. She used her own materials and gave me interesting articles to read. It's great when learning is tied to things actually happening in the world. We always spoke only in Spanish, which really improved my vocabulary. Highly recommend!”

“Kristina Uhnak is a top-quality Spanish tutor — the biggest advantage of her lessons is how flexible she is and how well she adapts to the student's needs. On top of teaching Spanish in a simple, clear way with an emphasis on using it in conversation — so there's certainly no boredom in her lessons — she always adjusts the lesson to whatever's most pressing for the student, for example an upcoming test at school. I really can't fault her lessons, and if you're after an engaging, high-quality and flexible way to study Spanish, Kristina is genuinely excellent.”

“Kristina is a great teacher and I always look forward to our lessons because they're fun, motivating, genuinely educational, and above all tailored to the student's needs. Kristina is full of positive energy and enthusiasm, and her lessons reflect exactly that: lively, dynamic, natural and stress-free. We work through the theory in a shared Google document, so everything's saved and I can look things up whenever I need to. I started Spanish with Kristina completely from scratch in autumn 2022, and I definitely plan to continue. She runs the lessons and conversations in a friendly way, but with the natural authority of a good teacher — something I really appreciate. I recommend her wholeheartedly 🙂 Muchas gracias por todo, Kristina! 🙂”

“Kristina's lessons cost more than group classes at a language school, but with her you cover in a few lessons what you'd cover in half a year at a language school. Kristina always tailors the lessons to you, she's very pleasant, and I haven't met anyone who can explain grammar as clearly and understandably as she can. I recommend her lessons without a second thought.”

“Kristina became my teacher almost a year ago, and I can't imagine anyone better. Not only has she taught me Spanish to a level I never even dreamed of, she's also taught me a lot about the culture and life in Spain. Our lessons were always interesting and different, since I always had to prepare in a different way each time, so I never got tired of them. Our lessons weren't just about drilling grammar or vocabulary — we brought in a lot of creativity, and I was never bored. I'd recommend Kristina to everyone, because she's not just an excellent teacher, she's also a really kind, warm, and cheerful person you want to spend more time with than just the lesson itself.”

“Kristina is simply the perfect teacher. Always kind, willing, and perfectly prepared. You can tell she teaches Spanish with real care — she always brings interesting topics and tailor-made exercises, explains grammar in a very simple way, and has endless patience. For "homework" she always has some interesting video, podcast or series lined up, so she keeps you motivated to spend time on Spanish in your free time too.”

“Kristina Uhnak isn't intimidated even by very advanced students (C1), and she has plenty to offer them too: the conversation is built around a topic and vocabulary chosen in advance, which helps me build the confidence I was missing. And most importantly, she leaves room for the student to talk — she knows how to stay in the background and guide the lesson with well-chosen questions. Thank you! :)))”

“Thanks to Kristina, I learned to actually enjoy studying a foreign language, in a completely different way than I ever had with other languages. I really appreciate how much we talk and communicate in the lessons, which makes the whole experience of learning the language that much more enjoyable, and at the same time helps me grasp the grammar and vocabulary better. Kristina Uhnak structures the lessons brilliantly, has excellent materials, is innovative, and tailors the topics to the student's interests — turning studying back into something fun, a hobby. Beyond all her undeniable qualities as a professional Spanish teacher, Kristina is above all a fantastic and inspiring person, and that's what lets me rate her just as highly as a person as I do as a teacher. Hugely satisfied. Thank you!”

“Kristina is a fantastic teacher — lessons with her are always enjoyable and you learn a huge amount. I can't fault her at all. She gave me really solid foundations that meant I didn't feel lost on my own in Spain. I'm definitely looking forward to continuing lessons with Kristina.”

“Spanish lessons with Kristina were fantastic — I'd recommend them to anyone wanting to learn or improve their Spanish. They're taught in a really engaging way, you're never bored, and you learn a huge amount. I studied with her for about 3 years and I'm so glad I chose her.”

“I wholeheartedly recommend Spanish lessons with Kristina! She tailors both conversation and grammar to your needs and gives you plenty of useful material and advice. She always comes brilliantly prepared, so there's never a dull moment. You feel really comfortable around her and end up talking away before you even notice.”

“Kristina is a really good teacher, she's taught me a huge amount. She always makes an effort to keep the Spanish lesson from being boring, and she succeeds. Even on days I wasn't at my best, every lesson with her lifted my mood. I'd recommend her to absolutely anyone who wants to learn Spanish.”

“Lessons with Kristina are great — even as a beginner, within a few weeks you start understanding short texts and videos, pick up basic phrases and get your bearings in the language. On pretty much any topic she gives you plenty of material to review, so you can speed up your own progress in your free time too. On top of that, she's a very approachable teacher, and you can tell she genuinely loves teaching Spanish and finds it fulfilling. She does it with real passion. For anyone who's decided to learn Spanish, I'd definitely recommend her.”

“I was really happy with the lessons. Kristina always came perfectly prepared, was great at explaining the material and helping with everything. The lessons are varied and fun.”

“I did 20 lessons with Kristina, and if time allowed, I'd carry on without a second thought. Kristina is a lovely, smart, easy-to-talk-to woman you can discuss any topic with — in Spanish, of course. If I'm ever looking for a teacher again in the future, it'll be Kristina Uhnak. She always comes prepared, so she never wastes your time.”

“Lessons with Kristina were, in a word, great. I loved that we worked a lot with flashcards and talked a lot. Time really well spent. We focused on practice and speaking. She explained grammar in a really simple way and was always happy to give me extra exercises to do at home. I appreciated that she worked around my schedule, since I travel a lot for work. Thanks for everything, Kristina.”

“Kristina is an excellent teacher — I always really look forward to the lesson, and in two months I've learned a huge amount. The lessons suit me perfectly and always lift my mood. She speaks like a native Spaniard and has a friendly, approachable manner, which matters a lot to me. Muchas gracias por todo.”

“These lessons, which I was lucky enough to take to improve my Spanish, were wonderful — I learned so many new things. She helped me with my Spanish homework, and I improved in conversation, grammar, and especially in reading comprehension. I'm really glad I had such a great Spanish teacher. Personally I've tried a lot of tutors, but out of all of them Kristina is the best: kind, funny, and a really sharp woman.”

“Really pleasant lessons, well balanced between grammar, conversation and listening. I like her systematic approach. You can tell Kristina loves Spanish and genuinely enjoys teaching it.”

“Really pleasant, kind and funny. Always comes to the lesson perfectly prepared and tailors it to the student's needs, abilities and interests. When I was heading off on holiday, she welcomed me to the lesson with an article about interesting facts about the island I was going to. The lessons are simply great fun, and suddenly Spanish isn't something I "have to" do anymore — it's something I want to do. 🙂”

“Friendly, approachable, and always positive. Every lesson is interesting and tailored to the student's needs. The lessons are very effective, and so is the homework. I'd definitely recommend her to anyone who wants to improve their Spanish.”

“Kind, skilled, flexible, patient, with a real professional approach. Simply a wonderful young woman who keeps you motivated and gets you speaking Spanish before you even realise it. The lessons are relaxed, and she always comes fully prepared: varied topics, exercises, activities. There's never a dull moment. I'd recommend her without hesitation to anyone who needs help with Spanish, at any level. Kika, I wish you lots of great students and every success!”

“Kristina is kind, warm, and a great teacher all in one. She explains, she helps. I'm at a bilingual secondary school. I loved how she'd always prepare Spanish literature materials ahead of the lesson and explain things exactly the way I needed. It helped me enormously.”

“Kristina is a teacher with incredible energy and impressive knowledge. Watching how well she speaks Spanish is genuinely inspiring. Her lessons are interesting, varied, and never boring. What I appreciate most is that she doesn't teach the language the traditional, classroom way — she teaches it so that, within a short time, you're able to hold your own and talk about different topics in different tenses. I look forward to every single lesson.”

“I was really happy with the Spanish lessons. I found the courage to speak much more, without stressing about it. I revisited some grammar points and expanded my vocabulary. I liked that we always read an interesting article full of new words, mixed in with conversation. Kristina, as a teacher, is very kind and patient. I definitely recommend her. 🙂”

“Lessons with Kristina are interesting and interactive — she uses different ways to build vocabulary, we cover interesting topics, and there's never a dull moment. Highly recommend!”

“Spanish lessons have helped me a huge amount since I started, and I can see real progress in my Spanish. In every lesson we go over some grammar, then we talk, and sometimes we even play a Spanish game. We also watch videos that I then have to talk about, explaining what I understood and what they were about. When I don't understand something at school, my Spanish lessons always explain it really well, and we practise it with exercises too. Since starting these lessons, I get top marks at school and understand every topic perfectly. I usually pick up new things too, which I can then use both at school and in other situations.”

“Spanish always struck me as a really attractive language, one I longed to speak. Thanks to Kristina, studying Spanish has become fun, rewarding, and genuinely time well spent for me. Kristina isn't just a kind, positive person — she's also an outstanding and highly professional teacher. To me, she's someone whose heart and calling are exactly where they should be. I recommend her wholeheartedly.”

“I've had a really good experience with Kristina, and I can say with confidence that her lessons have been genuinely enriching. My level is currently somewhere between B1 and B2. I liked that she tailored topics to my interests, the conversation, and learning new things — not just about Spanish. 🙂”

“Lessons with Kristina are always well organised and well paced. On top of that, they're motivating and genuinely enjoyable.”

“A great Spanish tutor. Always comes prepared with materials for the lesson, speaks excellent Spanish, and you can rely on her completely. I'm really glad she tutored me and I'd recommend her to anyone.”

“Kristina is always smiling and in a good mood, so the Spanish lesson just flies by. We always go over some grammar, practise what we've covered, and have a conversation on a chosen topic. Sometimes we wander completely off-topic, but why not — it's always easier to talk about something close to your heart. She's a patient, flexible tutor who encourages you and praises you right when you least expect it, so bit by bit all the stress of communicating in a foreign language just melts away.”

“Always impeccably prepared for the lesson and very professional.”

“Great — Kristina always comes to the lesson prepared, sends quality materials, and I always learn a lot from every lesson, in a fun way too. Recommend it. 🙂”

“Kristina is an excellent teacher!”

“Perfect preparation for every lesson and really well-explained grammar. On top of that, the lessons had a warm, friendly atmosphere, which is a huge support for anyone being tutored — it builds your confidence and gets you speaking the language much faster.”

“--- ## Bonus — curso online (fuera del filtro principal) Kristina's online course for travellers doesn't just teach you the basics of the language — thanks to really well-made videos, you also learn how the service industry works in Spain, so you arrive far better prepared for your holiday. I'd already travelled around South America before and had learned Spanish from a self-study book, but with this course I picked up new things much faster, because the videos made me feel like I had my own private tutor. It works smoothly on both computer and mobile. And if something slips my mind out on the road, Kristina's handy travel cheat sheets are there to save me. I wholeheartedly recommend this course to anyone who wants to get the most out of their holiday in Spain.”

“Kristina's beginner video course is absolutely excellent for anyone learning or wanting to learn Spanish, or even just heading off on holiday and curious about the language, culture, food and life in Spain. I love Spanish, but I never thought I'd actually be able to learn it, because my brain just isn't wired for languages. Then one day, after a lot of googling, I stumbled across Kristina's website and immediately felt this would work for me. And my instinct was right. I've been studying with Kristina for over six months now, and after building excellent foundations, thanks to her patience and creativity, and with my confidence steadily growing, she gave me the chance to try her new course, since I'm heading to Spain. In the course you'll find authentic tips to help you get around Spain without feeling like a tourist. It includes videos where everything's explained clearly so you're not left figuring it out alone, audio recordings that let you pick up the authentic feel of the language, and workbooks where you can put into practice what you've absorbed. I recommend it without a second thought.”
