I had the pleasure of having Bernadette as a teacher in a 100-hour course with Barcelona Activa. I think Bernadette is a great teacher. She was very patient and cheerful, while at the same time pushing us to complete the assignments and respect the timetable. She also prepared the material and gave us detailed feedback on our written and oral assignments. I really enjoyed all her classes!

Anna

Bernadette really gets involved in her students' learning, making the lessons fun, interactive and teaching you tricks to make it easier to remember what you learn. A great teacher! I would definitely study with her again.
Petra
Banco de España, Barcelona (Cambridge Advanced Exam Preparation Course)
Bernadette's English courses have been the best of my life, the lessons have always been brilliant. They have made me more and more eager to learn and improve every day. I was totally motivated even though I was tired after a day's work, and I was amazed at my achievements after a long time without studying. There has certainly been dedication on my part, but nothing would have been possible without Bernadette's dedication.
Cinzia

Adrien
Digital marketing, Paris (online private lessons)
Bernadette has been helping me with the Cambridge Advanced exam for almost two years now and I think her classes are really worthwhile. Not only can I do a lot of exam practice and advanced grammar or vocabulary, but she always gives me tips to use during the exam. She is also kind, helpful and generous whenever I make mistakes.

Bernadette has been one of the most inspiring and enjoyable teachers I have ever had. She has always made me feel motivated to do more and do better, and her feedback has helped me understand what to improve and how to study to achieve the results I want. The way she makes grammar easy to understand and use is brilliant - and she's fun too! I wish I'd had her as a teacher during my school years! A HUG

The best teacher in town. She knows how to give dynamic and fun classes and get the best out of each student.
Pere
Music teacher, Barcelona (Advanced conversation course)
What I liked the most was how subtly — and at the same time quite unambiguously — you made it clear what level and quality you expected from us. You didn’t pressure us or create any psychological discomfort, yet you also didn’t tolerate sloppy work. It felt as if I were training with a professional coach who truly cares about the outcome. And that genuine “caring” is incredibly valuable.
Oksana
Tourist guide (Advanced English speaking course, 2025)
After after our first class, I knew Bernadette was the right teacher for me. Her professionalism, responsiveness, and genuinely caring approach immediately stood out. Every class felt engaging and flew by, with varied activities that made learning both effective and enjoyable. Bernadette always listened to my goals, supported me, and guided me with patience and understanding. Thanks to her constant feedback and encouragement, I gained confidence, improved my English significantly, and overcame my fear of speaking.
