Testimonials about our Spanish tutors
for students living in Jacksonville
''I especially appreciated Patricia's curiosity about how we preferred to learn Spanish (especially since she took over mid-term). Patricia encouraged us to both speak and listen to her thoughts on different topics, which helped improve listening comprehension. She also prepared some additional exercises to practice some trickier concepts.'' Dec 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 ''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 ''Give us situations in which we were conversing totally in Spanish.'' Aug 06 2024 ''Patricia was very personable and professional. I was lucky to learn from her.'' Jun 05 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 ''Patricia was engaging, fun, clear and continuously offered positive reinforcement.'' May 13 2024 ''Very personable, responsive, provides extra follow-up explanations after class, extremely thorough.'' Apr 19 2024 ''I have had teachers in the past but not tutors, so it is hard to compare since there is a difference in [*] a classroom teacher and one that teaches in a small group. But my experience with my tutor is much better than any past teachers. She is a dynamic tutor, and pushes you to use the language. It feels important to be prepared for her class as a result. She is very patient, and always gives lots of encouragement, despite one's own doubts. She is always well prepared and readily explains concepts, always leaving room for questions.'' Mar 19 2024 ''She was very patient and helped us when needed. She had a great attitude and sense of humor.'' Mar 19 2024 ''Patricia did a great job of making the lessons engaging and understandable. She was also very friendly and created a welcoming environment in our class!'' Mar 19 2024 ''She was very encouraging and enthusiastic and accepting of mistakes.'' Dec 08 2023 ''Always corrected my pronunciation, which is helpful. Give me spellings of ne vocabulary. She had good resources and new study methods that really worked for me.'' Sep 01 2023 ''She explained things well and reviewed concepts that were hard to understand.'' Jul 06 2023 ''Excellent use of role playing exercises in Spanish to force students to use improvisation to improve conversational abilities. I also liked that we used the course materials for the most part, but the instructor was flexible and understood when it made sense to do something different.'' Jun 15 2023 ''Taylored it to our particular needs, encouraged us to watch/listen to spanish outside of class for leisure.'' Apr 04 2023 ''I really have enjoyed Patricia's energy and organization during the class. We go through the assigned topics, but there is room to talk and speak loosely too, which I like.'' Mar 21 2023 ''She really tailored the classes to my goal of continued speaking on my part'' Dec 22 2022 ''Spoke in Spanish!'' Dec 13 2022 ''She took the time to explain the concepts and ensured we practiced.'' Dec 13 2022
