We started Doricu in 2018 with a straightforward goal: create online Spanish courses that actually work for busy adults.
Our founder, a language teacher with 12 years of classroom experience, noticed that traditional methods didn't fit modern lifestyles. Students needed flexibility, not rigid schedules. They wanted practical conversation skills, not just grammar rules.
We built our platform around these needs. Each course includes live video sessions with native speakers from Spain and Latin America, plus recorded lessons you can access anytime. Our curriculum focuses on real situations: ordering food, discussing work projects, understanding films without subtitles.
Since launch, we've taught 3,200 students across the UK. Our team now includes 18 certified instructors, all with university degrees in Spanish linguistics or education. We've developed 6 course levels, from complete beginners to advanced speakers preparing for DELE certification.
We believe language learning should be accessible and effective. That means clear pricing (£45-£85 per month depending on your plan), transparent progress tracking, and teachers who respond to messages within 24 hours.
Our approach is simple: Small group classes (maximum 8 students), weekly one-on-one sessions with your assigned tutor, and interactive exercises that adapt to your learning speed. No gimmicks, just structured learning that respects your time.
We're based in London but our students come from across the UK. Whether you're learning Spanish for career advancement, travel, or personal interest, our courses provide structured support.
