About Barcelona English Pros

Living in a second language is easier with people around you, whether you arrived last month or have been here for years. Join our WhatsApp community to ask questions and share who you trust, read the free guide to everyday admin in Barcelona, and suggest a professional you would recommend to a friend. We want to help you find your way around the city and connect with its local businesses and people, not to keep you in a bubble.

Every professional on this site is added only after we find a specific, checkable signal that they offer service in English, cross-checked against their real address on Google Maps: an explicit mention in a review, in their own business name, or on their website. We don't list a business just because it's nearby or highly rated.

We show ratings and review counts only where we can trace them to a genuine, visible source (currently Google Maps), never invented. We don't show pricing unless a professional has published it themselves, and we don't claim any listing is "the best" without a stated reason.

None of this replaces your own judgement; details change, and we'd rather you double-check something important (a qualification, an insurance policy, an emergency service) directly with the professional. If you find a listing that's out of date or wrong, tell us and we'll fix it.

Paid placements (Recommended Partner and Top Recommendation) are always labelled and sit above businesses that are only listed. Everyone else is ordered by their Google rating and number of reviews. Being listed is free.

Paying does not buy a pass. When you ask us to introduce you to a professional, we email you once, a few days later, and ask how it went: did they get back to you, did you book, and how was it out of five. If several people who used a professional tell us it went badly, we look into it, and it can lead to us removing their paid placement or their listing. A person at Barcelona English Pros makes that decision after reading the answers, not software.

We keep the standard high by listening to customers, not by who pays. We ask people who used a professional to rate the quality of the service, their professionalism, how well things were explained in English, value for money and how easy it was to book, and whether they would recommend them. Paid or free, every professional is held to the same standard.

Feedback is also how professionals improve. We pass on what customers tell us, without their name or email, so a professional can see what is going well and what to fix.

Your answers are not published with your name. A comment can appear on the site only if you tick the box to let us show it with your first name. See our privacy notice.

When a professional publishes a price on their own website, we show it on their listing, say that it is theirs, give the date we read it and link to the page it came from. We read up to ten pages of each website and keep only prices we can tie to a named service on a page we actually read. If a site shows two different prices for the same thing, or does not say what a figure is for, we leave it out.

Where we cannot find a published price, the listing says "Price not verified" and shows the typical range for that profession from our cost checker. That range is a market figure from named sources, not that professional's fee. Prices change, so confirm the price with the professional before you book, and tell us if one is out of date.

Every guide names its sources inline and lists them at the end, and we prefer the official body (a government register, a regulator, a professional college) over a commercial website. Where fees are fixed by law, we quote the official figure. Where official pages and secondary guides disagree, we say so rather than pick the more convenient number.

We don't invent prices, ratings or quotes, and we don't present a price range unless it traces to a published source. A guide's "updated" date only changes when we have actually re-checked its facts, not when we tidy the wording.

Guides are general information, not legal, tax or medical advice. Rules and fees change, so confirm anything time-sensitive with the office or professional concerned. If you spot an error, email hello@barcelonaenglishpros.com and we'll correct it.
