Personal Language Consultancy for Adults
Personal Language Consultancy by Blanca Derby
A consultancy for Spanish-speaking adults seeking to improve how they express themselves in English in real-life and professional contexts.

My work is centred on understanding your needs and guiding you towards meaningful, lasting progress — without rigid programmes or unnecessary complexity.
Professionals I have supported
A Personal Approach
Not a course. Not a Programme. A personal consultancy designed around you.
My role is to help you bridge that gap.
Many adults have spent years studying a language, yet still feel uncertain when speaking. My role is to help you bridge that gap — through careful listening, deep experience, and an approach that treats you as an individual, not part of a standard programme.
Every consultation is shaped around your individual needs. There are no rigid structures here.
My guidance helps you:
How I Work
Every engagement begins with a conversation — to understand your background, your objectives, and what may have held you back until now.
From there, I shape a personalised approach built around you — not a fixed structure, but a considered path aligned with your needs.
There are no rigid programmes. Only focused, meaningful progress at a pace that suits you.
This personal consultancy is suited to individuals who feel that traditional methods have not fully addressed their needs.
You need to communicate clearly and confidently at work — in meetings, with clients, or across international environments — yet feel you are not fully expressing your capabilities.
Your priorities have evolved. You are looking to reconnect with a language or refine your communication with a clear, practical purpose.
You have spent years working with the language, yet still feel a gap between understanding and natural expression. This is where focused, individual guidance becomes essential.
You prefer thoughtful, one-to-one consultancy — where your needs are understood, and your progress is shaped with care and attention.
I have dealt with Blanca for many years and she has always been the consummate professional. Her teaching techniques, patience, encouragement and outright results are second to none. The evidence is in her classes when you see her pupils respond so well in Spanish. Blanca successfully brings the best out in them, where teacher and pupil are totally congruent

I loved learning Spanish with Blanca. She has a wealth of knowledge and experience as a Spanish Tutor, which I soon realised from our first lesson. I found her well structured program ideal for learning and mastering grammar, vocab and phonetics. Her handouts and notes were most valuable, a real life-saver. Her passion and professionalism were second to none. If you are serious about learning Spanish, then you should seriously consider Blanca. Under her guidance I have no doubt that anyone, regardless of ability and level will be able to speak and write Spanish fluently. I cannot recommend her enough.

I began studying Spanish as a novice with no real qualifications in any other language except my native English. Blanca introduced basics in a very approachable way tackling verbs conjugation and tenses in a simple but effective way. Learning was mixed with a rich source of listening and spoken word tasks, as well as cultural studies form Spain and other Spanish speaking countries to help understand the cultural and colloquial language. I found the teaching methods both fun and well structured and also individual to all class members
