''Eveyhring! She is great at giving Explanations, encouragement, making me feel comfortable, challenging me to succeed. Etc...'' Aug 27 2016 ''-Kept the conversation practically 100% in Spanish. If I didn't know a word or phrase, Lourdes would re-explain with different Spanish words rather than automatically translating to English.
-Kept the conversation flowing nicely- there was never a dull moment and we talked about things that were relevant!
-Good balance of correcting my mistakes and also not over correcting.
-Lourdes always came prepared with fun talking points and reading assignments'' Aug 04 2016 ''I absolutely love Maria Nunez. She has helped me advance when I thought I was losing it. She continue to blow me away with her expertise in teaching Spanish the way it should be taught.'' Aug 01 2016 ''Maria Elena is very personable and explains concepts clearly. She incorporates legal language into our sessions because I am a lawyer and she knows that talking through hypothetical legal scenarios helps me with clients.'' Jul 26 2016 ''Increase my fluency by giving the confidence to use words I hadn't before or that I had heard but wasn't sure of.'' Jul 21 2016 ''Conversation about present events, she made special effort to assist me with necessary vocabulary I would use in my profession . Always pleasant and able laugh!'' Jul 20 2016 ''Maria is extremely attentive to my needs. She would not move forward until she was certain I understood the concept.'' Jun 26 2016 ''Very attentive, explanatory, well prepared.'' Jun 16 2016 ''I have a problem with question 15 "rate this tutor in comparison to other Spanish tutors you have / have had in the past" because I have had several very good tutors, so I find it doing them a disservice to compare them to each other when I was overall very happy with them. Alice was good at providing colloquial phrasing recommendations to make my speech sound more authentic/conversational.'' May 17 2016 ''Maria helped me talk about things that were interesting to me. She was adaptable and flexible. She made me comfortable. I felt I could learn; I felt that I was learning. She is the best.'' May 04 2016 ''One thing very helpful for me was her ability to converse at a level that I could understand and actively participate. She used words and concepts from the curriculum, and challenged me the [*] amount so that I felt like “I’m getting it”, gained confidence, and became more encouraged. She corrected my errors, but constructively and positively. She blended the course material with cultural experiences which kept it lively and relevant. It was clear that she enjoys teaching and takes an interest in her students.'' Apr 21 2016 ''Consuelo's explanation of various Spanish grammar rules was excellent, and she was able to structure each class in a way that kept our sessions interactive and maximized my opportunity to practice listening and speaking.'' Apr 14 2016 ''She was very flexible and excellent at communicating when the sessions needed to be changed because of the weather. She was also very clear in her Spanish speaking, and explanations. She was friendly and open and we did a lot of talking.'' Mar 16 2016 ''Kept the conversation going. She kept it interesting and helped me focus on the subjunctive case in a way I could understand.'' Mar 12 2016 ''she was able to talk about colloquial Spanish expressions that people do use regularly in different Spanish speaking countries'' Mar 11 2016 ''Provide coloquial explanations, provide tips for learning, noted [*] curriculum needed to be updated/corrected
I should also clarify that I don't like rating the tutor compared to others because I have had other very good tutors. Saying that she is the same as others isn't a bad thing if being compared to other excellent tutors!'' Feb 24 2016 ''Consuelo made sure her lessons were extremely clear and focused on improving my individual needs and abilities. She also managed our time very well without me ever feeling rushed.'' Jan 05 2016 ''Maria Elena is very patient and she conducted the sessions in a way that was conducive to speaking and comprehending conversational spanish.'' Jan 05 2016 ''Maria had us practice writing stories at home using the information from the previous chapters to reinforce our learning. We would read it in class and then try to remember it from memory as supplemental homework to the coursework. This helped a lot.'' Dec 25 2015 ''Lourdes comes prepared to class and always on time, she was flexible to changing days when I had conflicts.
She makes it easier to remember vocabulary and understand the grammar rules and also how to pronounce words.
The sessions are always interactive and the fact that the whole session is in spanish makes it so much better.
I would like to continue studying with her!'' Dec 21 2015
