Lola is an amazing teacher, and I believe that is because she is truly passionate about the culture, traditions, people and future of Latino people. She was incredibly knowledgeable in everything she spoke about, I asked her at least 10 questions a day in my time with her and I don’t think there was a single time she couldn’t give me a in depth, detailed answer which turned into a discussion. Lola is like someone I have never met before in that her passion for the culture really shone through in everything she said and did and you just knew that that was the core of her being. I knew practically no Spanish when I met her and left her after 3 weeks feeling like I could confidently say I could speak basic Spanish! She opened my eyes and heart to whole culture I really had no idea about and gets people so invested in the culture that you felt upset about the bad historical moments and happy about the triumphant ones. Lola is passionate, smart, kind and really left an impact on my life.

She is fluent and really good at explaining things in all languages including English

In depth knowledge and passion

Lola was my intermediate English teacher and beginners French teacher for over 2 years time. She was very professional and at the same time, incredibly caring and took her time to make sure I understood all the material before continuing on. She was patient with me, as I greatly struggle with pronouncing certain words, and especially with my grammar and writing. She has a unique talent for making the lessons fun and relatable. I can confidently say that Lola was the best teacher I have ever had.

She was very knowledgeable and much fun to learn with. Her explanations and pop culture references made it easy to learn and practice my english.

Lola has an broad knowledge of Latin american history and culture. She uses current events as a teaching tool to demonstrate how a country's history shapes both the event itself and how its people react to it. She is a patient and adaptable tutor who works well with all levels of ability.

Lola was able to teach me a vast amount of about Latin culture, world history and geography in a short time. She made it easy to learn and understand Spanish (language). Highly recommend Lola to anyone who is eager to learn!

I was lucky to have Lola as my tour guide on a trip through Central America. Her knowledge of the local areas we visited was very impressive, and I learnt many historical facts and stories that enriched my whole experience. Lola has the ability to bring local culture to life and make a memorable experience for all. I even picked up some Spanish words from Lola as she speaks fluently. This has inspired me to learn more since my tour.
Thank you Lola!

There are so many things I can say about Lola is not know where to start. I had the pleasure of meeting Lola when she was a CEO at G-Adventures. As a first time traveller I was so nervous to be in a whole new place, where I knew nobody. But, within the first hour of arrive Lola made the whole group feel as though we had been friends for years.

She’s an amazing person, with a true passion for Latin America. She’s knows so much about the history, culture and landscape of the continent and loves sharing all her stories and knowledge. She taught me so much about the Latin culture, so much I never would’ve even known if it wasn’t for her. Lolas passion and knowledge for the Spanish language made us all feel as though we were experts ourselves by the time we left her.

You could tell that being a CEO, was more than just a job for her. She makes it her mission to teach and educate about the real people and history throughout the whole country. Giving you a true insight into the culture.

I owe so much of my amazing travel experience to Lola and wish I could thank her for it.

Lola is fluent in Spanish and has a natural ability for teaching others. She would often give us history and culture lessons and be able to explain everything from a non-bias point of view, and be able to effectively lay out the importance of that culture change or controversy within the country. Having lived in quite a few countries, all over the world throughout her life, she has a great knowledge of geography, politics and culture in many places - much more than your average person.
Lola has unbelievable patience and cares for each person, she will tutor that specific student and tailor everything to their skills and needs. She has a lust for life so no matter what, you'll have a great time learning

I cannot recommend Lola enough

Lola’s knowledge of Latin American culture and history made it easy for me to understand and learn basically everything you want to know about Spanish and French culture. She knows details of specific traditions, understands the complicated history/political events, and explains it in a way that helps someone like me (who knew very little about Latin American culture) learn about the history of traditions, cultures, the different native groups, the politics, and made me really love the topics. She had the answer to every question I had and recommended me so many wonderful books! I highly recommend Lola as a tutor.
