Upgrade for a Spanish Booster
​
We understand that not all of our clients will be interested in the Spanish Plan with an entire hour dedicated to Spanish. For this reason, we offer a Spanish upgrade to the Maths, English or 11+ and Entrance Exam plans.
Our clients can upgrade their Maths, English or 11+ and Entrance Exam plan, giving their children the opportunity to learn Spanish with a highly qualified tutor for a 20-minute boost at the end of each tuition session. Please see our Price Plans for more information on this upgrade.

Progressing to new alturas (that’s height in Spanish)
We strive to build our students’ vocabulary in Spanish to new heights and introduce them to complex grammatical structures. Our Gifted Thinkers students gain exceptional confidence in Spanish speaking exercises and engage in creative activities in Spanish. It is of utmost importance to us that our students are having fun, whilst acquiring exceptional knowledge of a second language. In fact, children’s brains have a higher capacity for language learning: meaning they will learn more, and quicker!
The acquisition of a second language is renowned for boosting brain power, improving memory, sharpening the mind, improving knowledge of the first language and boosting performance in other academic areas. It is our aim, at Gifted Thinkers, to encourage all of our students to add Spanish to their academic plan in the anticipation that it will boost their performance in other academic areas and improve their level of English.
