Testimonials about our Spanish tutors
for students living in New York City and Brooklyn
''She made our sessions really fun! She was very encouraging every time I tried to speak. I felt like I was learning a lot but was also never worried about making a mistake. I think this is the ideal way to feel when first starting to speak a new language. If I continue I would definitely want to work with Rosa!'' Mar 16 2013 ''Tutor was knowledgeable about grammar, and he spoke very clearly so that I could understand him. He was patient and answered all of my questions. Tutor provided additional material in Spanish based on my particular interests and needs.'' Mar 10 2013 ''Able to explain use (reasons why) behind the more difficult words, pharses and verb usage that greatly helped my comprehension.'' Mar 02 2013 ''Paula was an ideal tutor, by far the best I've had, and always focused on the things that were important to me. She became quickly familiar with elements of Spanish that I find more difficult, even if they were outside my level (purple), and she was also great about thinking of things throughout the week that would apply to our class. She was also a great conversation partner and great at explaining concepts I have trouble with.'' Feb 26 2013 ''She is very friendly and personable. She was realistic about how the students were going to use Spanish, and personalized the lessons to fit our needs.''

Jan 14 2013 ''She is very patient, intellegent, and genuinely a nice person.'' Dec 10 2012 ''Rosa is fabulous. She is very attentive and focused on my learning. I advanced far faster than I expected I would and I'm VERY excited bout continuing on in Spanish with Rosa and Spanish Black Belt!'' Dec 04 2012 ''She kept me entertained and inspired to learn more while slowing down and focusing during times when specific things were difficult for me. She always brought additional worksheets and cards to focus on issues that have me trouble.'' Dec 03 2012 ''Conversation and dialogue about my specific field of interest'' Nov 25 2012 ''Alejandro knew how to ask questions to keep us talking and keep us engaged. There was never a lack of communication or discussion. He also was very catering to our needs and recognized [*] we needed the most help.'' Oct 01 2012 ''Mr. Nolasco is good at rendering daily conversations into Spanish context. He is super patient and polite. He also tells a lot interesting linguistic features/logic behind Spanish. It makes learning a fun.'' Sep 29 2012 ''He uses a level of Spanish in conversation which is consistant (or just a bit ahead) of [*] I am in my lessons.
When I come up with a new phrase, he quickly incorporates it into the conversation so that I get to hear it and re use it.
He is always up beat and completely disregards my sometimes self defeatist attitude. Sulking just doesn't work in his class.
Also, he is determined that I will develop an understanding of latino culture; something which was completely foreign to my Francophillic upbringing. It is making me want to speak the language.'' Sep 18 2012 ''She noticed the different ways my partner and I learned, she tailored the discussions to our interests when possible and she kept us from getting ahead of ourselves by keeping things simple'' Aug 31 2012 ''She was absolutely terrific at teaching us, even though my girlfriend had more experience speaking spanish than I did. She was also extremely attentive to our needs, and she emphasized the aspects of the lessons that were giving us the most difficulty. She insisted that we focus on and practice the trickiest parts of the grammar. And she was VERY reassuring and supportive when I got frustrated.'' Jul 25 2012 ''We spoke spanish for the entire time we meet, and for one who does not have the opportunity to practice, this is very important.'' Jul 09 2012
