''Paula is absolutely wonderful. She was patient and understanding of the challenges I faced in learning. Paula is excellent in her method of teaching. She made me feel comfortable speaking spanish as she corrected me along the way. She was also enthusiastic about teaching spanish which motivated me to keep trying. With Paula as my tutor I believe I will be able to rich my goal in learning spanish.'' Jun 13 2016 ''Very clear. Engaging in class. Lots of cultural references to help keep interest up. Very encouraging of my little victories.'' May 18 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 ''Personal engagement. Topics tailored to our specific experience and progress.'' Mar 21 2016 ''took time to teach and explain concepts that are difficult.'' Jan 23 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 ''Explained the logic of the language in a way that helped me understand and learn it better. I don't think I've ever had a teacher do it nearly as well as Paula.'' Dec 29 2015 ''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 ''Maria Nunez was extremely professional, friendly, and kept the class interesting. She is an excellent tutor.'' Oct 24 2015 ''Maria Elena is a passionate teacher, someone who genuinely cares about her students' progress, their broader interests, and their personal and educational concerns. She went out of her way to find me Spanish YouTube videos and useful websites about my discipline without me even asking for them, all so I could become more familiar with the vocabulary used in my career -- a goal I had mentioned to her in passing but that we didn't discuss at length, as it wasn't part of the syllabus. I would have never expected a tutor to go out of her way to do something like that for me, so when Maria Elena took it upon herself to search for and send me such useful, valuable information I knew she was very different from most other tutors out there. It's not easy to learn (or re-learn) a second language -- it can be frustrating at times, to say the least -- but meeting with Maria Elena every week reassured me of my decision to register with SpanishBlackBelt. She is a wealth of knowledge and has a warm, caring, and fun-loving disposition. I always look forward to our conversations and leave class feeling accomplished and inspired. I won't go to another tutor again.'' Jul 03 2015 ''Tailored the classes to my requests.'' Jun 05 2015 ''She gets students speaking in Spanish in natural conversations.'' Mar 11 2015 ''I think Maria Elena is a very patient and kind tutor. She is smart and is a great teacher. She makes me feel comfortable at all times, and that's very important to me. I think the class time is used effectively and she'll even stay later to finish a particular activity if it runs over.'' Jan 13 2015 ''She was encouraging and helpful and also great with correction and praise when needed.'' Jan 04 2015 ''very encouraging even when some students weren't as well-prepared as they should have been--motivated everyone to do their best'' Dec 14 2014 ''Spoke very clearly and naturally, only used Spanish, was always on time'' Dec 13 2014 ''This is my first experience so can't rank quality compared to other tutors. But I had to respond to Question 15 so said same.
My Tudor especially encouraging and helped me stretch to learn.'' Nov 20 2014 ''Very good at asking about my particular interests and researching and catering each class to my needs and desires for Spanish learning. She was very good at putting herself in my shoes as I was looking to improve my Spanish for my career.'' Nov 17 2014 ''Directing the class to my level and interests. Creating a warm personal but professional relationship. Being very enthusiastic about Latino language and culture. Getting me to work hard.'' Sep 26 2014 ''help me get confident and taught me a lot about grammar'' Sep 15 2014
