''Consuelo is an awesome tutor and did everything to the best of her abilities which was very beneficial.'' Nov 02 2024 ''She engaged the students personally, connected the students with one another, had a clear voice and was easy to understand when speaking spanish'' Oct 31 2024 ''Carolina was very kind and patient, always addressing mistakes in a way that encouraged me.'' Oct 21 2024 ''He was patient, encouraging, and made learning fun.'' Oct 03 2024 ''Patricia was very patient and encouraging as I put together sentences in Spanish-- I felt more comfortable trying to speak the language than I did in group classes I've taken before. She's personable and has a good sense of humor so I liked talking to her, which helps a lot! She got me talking about things actually happening in my life and the world and taught me the additional vocab I needed to do that. And she seemed to care about what I said not just whether I said it correctly. She's great!'' Sep 18 2024 ''Glenys was very patient and gave me time to think through what I was trying to say. She was great at pushing me to expand my vocabulary and helped me find the [*] words to express what I was trying to say.'' Sep 07 2024 ''Adrian is patient,listens to students and corrects pronunciation and vocabulary tactfully. He is open to questions and I notice at the present level he prompts that the students to utilize the language through presentations, conversations and video listening. A wonderful way to get verbal practice. Grammar is present; however, I am enjoying the increased conversation for speaking the language has many challenges (verb tense recall, sentence structure,...). It's a struggle at times; however, I am always looking forward to the class.'' Aug 30 2024 ''She was always so warm and welcoming in our classes. She always answered my questions well and politely corrected my grammar mistakes. We talked about topics that were relevant to my life, making me not only look forward to our sessions but also helping me improve my skills in ways I can apply in real-life conversations.'' Aug 18 2024 ''Give us situations in which we were conversing totally in Spanish.'' Aug 06 2024 ''Glenys provided the type of guidance that I as a heritage Spanish speaker really need. She was incredibly knowledgeable and did not take herself too seriously at all times.'' Jul 01 2024 ''Mindful of strengths and weaknesses, flexible agenda and class time was all in Spanish'' Jun 25 2024 ''Patricia was very personable and professional. I was lucky to learn from her.'' Jun 05 2024 ''Adrian is very patient,observant, attentive and pleasant. He provides a session atmosphere which invites learning and curiosity. He seems to tweak the delivery of the lesson's topics in a style in which all students, regardless of the slight difference in language exposure, can absorb the information and verbally participate without fear. His flexibly teaching style allows for more emphasis on areas of confusion; however, we continue to cover each lesson to its fullest. The first few minutes of each session begins with "...tell me about your weekend" or some topic. There is no escaping this conversation for each person must answer. This zooms me into Spanish mode. It also starts my tongue to loosen. I enjoy his inclusion of sentence or paragraph reading, short videos (various accents) and class conversation to improve pronunciation, listening and comprehension skills.
Adrian always asks if each topic covered was understood and he allows time review, if needed. I truly enjoy my lessons because as Adrian says, in Spanish: It's easy, [*]!'' Jun 05 2024 ''I can’t say enough good things about Adrian. This was third my class with him. He explains things in a way that makes Spanish seem uncomplicated. He is patient, supportive and builds one’s confidence. I am able to understand, read and speak Spanish at a level that far exceeds my starting point. In other language classes I’ve had, I’d peter out after a certain point and thought that learning a language was not in the cards for me. These classes are formatted so you build on one element at a time and, as long as you do your homework, it’s never really difficult. “Es fácil, verdad?” is a phrase that Adrian uses every week and my classmates and I always nod in agreement because Adrian makes it seem easy.
Each class also builds on the previous class so you are constantly reviewing previous content. I’ll be continuing with the light blue level and am so excited to advance my Spanish abilities.'' Jun 04 2024 ''He uses great material and always finds examples that fit well for me and my friend. It feels like the classes are created just for us'' Jun 04 2024 ''Loved my tutor, she did a great job with making sure everyone understood the lessons and clarified any confusions that she noticed we had. She positively encouraged everyone, and never reprimanded if someone forgot to the homework or anything. Always positive reinforcement and encouragement - this made the learning environment very positive for everyone and made me excited to go to class!'' Jun 02 2024 ''I think she did a good job at making sure that I got to practice my speaking skills and helped me catch and revise my mistakes.'' May 18 2024 ''Gian Carlo has been really wonderful ... I have some recent personal life issues/changes that have impacted my ability to focus and study and Gian Carlo has been really understanding and willing to go at my slower pace without getting frustrated with me ... I'm really thankful for my spanish classes with him :)'' May 16 2024 ''Gladys is so patient and supportive. She is really good at helping us get through difficult conversation or grammatical/vocabulary challenges.'' May 15 2024 ''Patricia was engaging, fun, clear and continuously offered positive reinforcement.'' May 13 2024
