Dec 29 2017 ''Maria Elena was brilliant at establishing a friendly and warm relationship and it was abundantly evident that she enjoys her work enormously and remembers every bit of her interactions with me as the student. When she discovered that my ability didn't align well with the standard course curriculum (in that I am fairly advanced), she changed things up, used standard materials when they were relevant and really challenged me to read and write using outside literature and authors. It was great fun.'' Dec 04 2017 ''This was my first spanish tutor.'' Nov 20 2017 ''I have had private tutoring experience with two instructors. Both were excellent and I learning a lot very quickly and relatively painlessly with their methods. I took a Spanish class with another program in NYC and learned some language rules, but not enough to be able to claim that I spoke the language even minimally. My experience with Spanish Black Belt is an entirely different story. In even two sessions my tutor was able to engage me in basic conversation and increase my ability to understand and speak the language. I am amazed how much I've learned in such a short amount of time. My instructors have been seriously committed to teaching, but they are also very down to earth, friendly, patient and reassuring. They make learning fun and actually seem almost easy. Homework and online resources are excellent as well. This is an outstanding Spanish language program and I recommend it without reservation.'' Nov 14 2017 ''Maria Nunez is helped me to succeed in advancing in areas that was difficult for me.'' Nov 08 2017 ''Claudia is an excellent tutor. She instantly made me feel comfortable speaking Spanish with her and aside from a few words here and there, we spoke entirely in Spanish each week which greatly improved my language ability and comprehension. She was amicable, easy to speak with, knowledgeable about language differences and how to explain them, and was very flexible with me.'' Nov 01 2017 ''My teacher, Claudia, adjusts her teaching methods and combines different learning formats to keep me involved and challenged.'' Oct 08 2017 ''She was very patient and flexible. I have always had a problem with speaking because I would be too embarrassed to say something wrong but she created a space [*] I felt comfortable. She identified my areas of opportunity and would focus on that during our sessions or during my homework.'' Oct 05 2017 ''Alejandro focused our daily lives and concepts that would be more useful to us. We talk about the topics we choose, which is working for us.'' Oct 03 2017 ''I have been working with Alejandro for the past year and I have just finished intermediate level. Due to his background in linguistic study, he is very good at explaining the logic of the language. He is also quite good at balancing the time spent on learning grammar with the time spent on daily conversation.'' Oct 02 2017
