Reviews from First Tutors
Imported from Corina's First Tutors profile before the site went dark. Shown separately from Tutorperch reviews — today they don't feed this tutor's Tutorperch rating or ranking.
How we verify these
Each imported review went through admin review. The tutor proved ownership of the First Tutors profile via one of two paths:
- Photo match. The First Tutors avatar matched the tutor's identity-verified Tutorperch photo, confirmed by admin.
- Cryptographic email check. The tutor uploaded an original First Tutors email (.eml). We verified the DKIM signature against First Tutors' signing keys and cross-checked the embedded tutor ID against the claimed profile.
The review text is the original reviewer's own words, quoted as-is. We verified the tutor's ownership of the profile, not the truth of what each individual reviewer wrote.

My child's mock grade in March 2025 was a 2. Sought Corina via first tutors, GCSE result for my child - GRADE 6. Only 7 marks off from a grade 7. I highly recommend Corina to anyone seeking to secure a high grade. My only regret is that I wish my child had her at the beginning of year 11, even year 10, as I know, she would have come out with the highest grade. You will not regret using Corina as a tutor. My child enjoyed each lesson and Corina always came prepared, providing my child with plenty of learning material.

I am level B1 and I started with Corina almost one year ago. My lessons are all online and my feedback is all positive. Corina is a very professional, yet friendly teacher. She is good at adapting a lesson to your needs and has an amazing array of materials at her fingertips. I find the lessons stimulating and fun whilst at the same time she is pushing me to improve. I thoroughly recommend her.

I have thoroughly enjoyed learning Spanish with Corina, I have found her style to be enjoyable and supportive. As an adult learner it has been quite daunting to start to learn a language amongst a busy lifestyle. But, Corina has guided me through step-by-step and has always been on-hand to help me or if I need flexibility with my schedule. Thank you Corina, I am looking forward to continuing to improve my language & communication skills under your tutorship.

Corina is an excellent tutor. I am coming to Spanish completely fresh, as a mature student, and have 1:1 sessions. She allows me to explore the areas I am interested in, while keeping me on track to attain the foundation I need. I highly recommend her.

Corina is absolutely fantastic. For no other reason than the fact I love Spain, I decided to finally commit to learning the language, albeit I struggled with languages at school so knew this was going to be a tough and daunting task. However, Corina teaches you in a brilliant way, she is patient, knowledgable and a complete professional. She does not do shortcuts to learn, she will teach you the structure of the language so that you have a full understanding of how the language works as opposed to just remembering words. My Spanish has made huge improvements over the past 2 years even with just 1 hour a week, I started out only being able to say 'Hola' and 'La Quenta Por Favor' (the bill please) but I am now confident in being able to hold small conversations with locals. Due to the virus I have been unable to visit Spain since I started but I am beyond excited to travel there soon and put all the hard work Corina has been doing with me to good practice. I highly recommend anyone looking for a Spanish teacher to consider Corina no matter what level your Spanish is, you will not regret it. Many thanks, Billy

I have had weekly one hour tutoring sessions with Corina for 1 month. Corina is very clear in her teaching methods and is very well prepared for each session. The hour session goes very quickly as the tutoring is clear and well presented with much to take in. The excellent rating is well deserved. David Barker.

Corina has been an excellent tutor for my daughter while studying for her IB Spanish. She set the tutorials at just the right level, provided some homework but not too much, and was always encouraging. Help with the orals was particularly appreciated.

I was only able to have one lesson with Corina before a change in my circumstances meant that I couldn't continue. Corina was welcoming and immediately put me at ease. I was very much a beginner and didn't have a lot of Spanish grammar. She is a native speaker and was very patient with my bad pronunciation… I really liked her teaching style. The lesson was well structured and we covered a good amount of work in the time. If things had been different for me, I would definitely continued with Corina and feel that I would have progressed with her very well.

Corina was helpful, experienced and knew exactly what to focus on to help me do as well as I could in my exam. Would recommend as a sixth form student.
