Where do the classes take place?
My Beginners Spanish classes run in two lovely venues in Beccles, depending on the day and time of the group.
Daytime classes
My face to face daytime classes take place at The Printing Press, a gorgeous space next door to Old School Coffee.
Printing Press, 35A Newgate, Beccles NR34 9QB
It’s styled like a Mediterranean courtyard, complete with an indoor olive tree, and creates a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere that’s perfect for learning Spanish.
While it’s not a private space, it’s calm and friendly, and ideal for a sociable daytime class.
You’re very welcome to order a drink from Old School Coffee, and the team will bring it over to you during the session. They serve delicious coffees and a great range of hot and cold drinks, perfect to enjoy while you learn.
Evening classes
My evening face to face classes take place at Old School Coffee in the heart of Beccles.
Old School Coffee, 33A Newgate, Beccles NR34 9QB
For evening sessions, we have private use of the café, creating a relaxed and comfortable space to practise Spanish together. A friendly member of staff is on hand if you’d like to grab a drink.
Old School Coffee serves up delicious coffees alongside a great selection of hot and cold drinks, making it a lovely setting for an evening class.

¡Hola! I’m Sam, your local Spanish teacher
I’m so excited you're thinking of joining my Beginners Spanish class in Beccles.
Whether you're brand new or have dabbled with Duolingo, this course is the perfect place to start.
I’ve spoken Spanish for over 26 years and grew up in Tenerife, where I went to Spanish school and later worked. You’ll learn real-life, practical Spanish with plenty of cultural insight.
I’m a qualified Spanish teacher (QTS) and a Finalist for Online Tutor of the Year 2024.
My classes are all about keeping things relaxed, friendly, and encouraging. You’ll learn useful Spanish you can actually use and have a laugh along the way.
Looking forward to welcoming you to the class at Old School Coffee or Printing Press in Beccles!

Don’t see a time that suits right now?
That’s ok! You’ve got a couple of options, depending on where you’re at.
01
Join the Beginners Spanish waitlist
If this course isn’t quite right for you timing-wise, you’re very welcome to join the waitlist.
I keep beginner groups small and don’t open new intakes all the time, but the waitlist helps me keep track of interest and let people know if a space becomes available in the future.
02
Explore Beginners Plus
If you already know a little bit of Spanish and want to keep building confidence through guided speaking and practice, Beginners Plus might be a better fit.
It’s a relaxed, supportive next step and a lovely way to keep learning without starting from scratch.
FAQs – Beginners Spanish Class in Beccles
Not sure if it’s the right fit? These FAQs should help
No. The class is relaxed and friendly, and you’ll never be asked to speak before you’re ready. Activities and games help you build confidence naturally at your own pace.
No. This course is designed for complete beginners, or those with just a tiny bit of Spanish from school or holidays. We start from the beginning and build confidence gently.
That’s great. This class will help you build on what you’ve picked up and turn it into real, usable Spanish through structured lessons and speaking practice.
This 10 week course costs £165 and includes all your learning materials. You can either pay in full when you book or choose to spread the cost over 2 or 3 months. That works out as £82.50 per month or £55 per month.
Possibly. If there are still spaces and we’re early enough in the course, you may be able to join.
I’ll always check that joining partway through would feel comfortable and manageable for you. If it’s not the right fit, I’m very happy to let you know about the next beginners option.
Yes, as class sizes are small and spaces are limited, payment is required for the full term. If you miss a lesson, don’t worry. You’ll still be able to access the class resources and key vocabulary audio files in the online learning area, which all students have access to.
If you’re unable to make your usual class one week, you’re very welcome to join a different class that week instead, if there’s space. Just contact me to arrange it.
If you're looking for a more flexible option, there may be a chance to book individual pay-as-you-go sessions once the course has started, subject to availability. These include the live class only, not access to the online learning and community area. To check availability for pay-as-you-go sessions, please contact me directly.
That’s absolutely fine. Life happens.
Where it’s helpful and where space allows, you may be able to attend another group, but this isn’t always possible. I may also share recap notes or resources to help you stay on track.
Nothing at all. I’ll provide all the lesson resources and anything else you need in class.
You might just want to bring some change or a card if you’d like to buy a drink during the session.
You can enjoy a lovely coffee or cold drink before or during class at The Printing Press and Old School Coffee. If you're coming to an evening class, you can also treat yourself to a glass of wine or beer if you fancy. It’s a lovely way to support another local business while you learn.
When you book, you’re agreeing to a non-refundable course. However, there’s no commitment to continue beyond the term.
If you're unsure, you're welcome to book a taster lesson first, subject to availability.
Yes! There is street parking in town and several pay-and-display car parks, many of which are free after 6pm (though some may still require registration). Tesco is also opposite the café but please be mindful of any parking rules or restrictions.
If the class is already full, you can join the waitlist to be the first to hear when new Beginner Spanish classes are released. I always email the waitlist first before opening bookings publicly.
Yes. This course includes planned breaks such as the May bank holiday and half term, which are already built into the schedule. These are normal at this time of year and don’t affect the total number of taught sessions.
Very occasionally, I may need to change or cancel a session due to illness or other commitments. If that happens, I’ll always make sure your learning continues, for example with an alternative date, guided practice, or a short recap resource.
Most learners choose to keep learning with me and move on to Beginners Plus, which builds on what you have already learned and gives you more time to practise speaking with support.
After that, many people go on to join Spanish Club, my ongoing membership for adults who want to keep improving their Spanish at a steady, manageable pace.
There is no pressure to continue. I will always talk you through the options at the end of the course so you can decide what feels right for you.
