''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 ''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 ''Very patient with all the students and encouraging when they made mistakes. Explained things very clearly.'' Apr 03 2024 ''The tutor's patience allowed and listened to questions and adjusted chapter's coverage speed based on the students grasp of its content.'' Mar 28 2024 ''Explained the issues well, and kept all lessons interesting'' Feb 04 2024 ''Adrian is so patient with each of his students. If I had the wrong tense or pronounced it wrong, he would praise me for being on the [*] path, and then, would correct me. Very positive overall.'' Jan 30 2024 ''I had to [*] a rating for question 15 to submit this survey, but I haven't had any Spanish tutors since I was in college 50 years ago, so I really couldn't answer it.'' Jan 09 2024 ''Patient and pleasant mannerism. Answered individual questions with care and did not present a rushed learning atmosphere.Provided equal and many speaking opportunities.'' Dec 26 2023 ''He provides great feedback and is very encouraging.'' Oct 05 2023 ''Extremely patient and doesn't mind he is asked to explain the same thing multiple times.''

'' Apr 16 2023 ''Adrian was an exceptional tutor, so much so that all of his students are continuing classes with him.

Apr 12 2023 ''Professor Adrian was great in answering questions! Very kind and helped me understand what i was doing!'' Mar 10 2023 ''Adrian is very very understanding and moves at the pace required for me to understand and comprehend what he is saying. I love that he only speaks spanish to me because it really immerses me into the language and requires me to use my critical thinking to translate what he is saying. He switches things up to keep them entertaining by discussing my personal interests along with the material that we are learning so that we are constantly engaged in conversation.'' Feb 13 2023 ''Adrian was professional, friendly, encouraging, supportive and fun. I cannot say enough to convey how much I enjoyed working with him.'' Feb 03 2023
