Testimonials about our Spanish tutors
for students living in Northern Virginia
''Pretty much everything!'' Aug 11 2010 ''Explanations were extremely clear. Great examples. Also, extremely patient with me.'' Aug 04 2010 ''I like that she explains the difference between "the textbook way" of saying something and how most people actually use or say something. Very helpful and not something you can just get out a book.'' Jul 30 2010 ''Raquel encourages us to speak Spanish for the entire session--that helps me so much. She speaks very clearly and uses educated Spanish. She is extremely well organized and punctual. I'm very happy with Raquel and hope to continue with her to the next level.'' Jul 29 2010 ''Kept the classes interesting and stimulated conversation very well.'' Jul 23 2010 ''Rosa was great at offering practice exercises and extra help on concepts when I asked for them. I also really appreciate her helping to reschedule a session that I thought I was just going to have to miss. She used Spanish almost all the time, and never made me feel embarassed when I made mistakes or didn't understand. I enjoyed her approach to teaching, and also really like her as a person! I appreciate that she got to know me and my classmate (encouraging us to bring in pictures, asking detailed questions, etc), and also told us about herself.'' Jul 15 2010 ''I cannot compare Monica to anyone else because I've never had another tutor but I can say that she is really good at making sense of any questions or shall I say clarifying misunderstandings and making sure that you really get what she's trying to teach.'' Jul 06 2010 ''Tania Bove is an excellent Spanish tutor. She challenges and encourages me, and her teaching style and friendly demeanor make me want to learn. She always explains concepts well and is helpful in answering questions. I could not have asked for a better experience.'' Jul 04 2010 ''Used current events and international incidents/situations to introduce real life conversation themes.'' Jul 02 2010 ''Very consciencious.'' Jul 01 2010 ''Put me at ease in speaking'' Jun 30 2010 ''Friendly, engaging, made me feel comfortable speaking Spanish.'' Jun 29 2010 ''Raquel was very encouraging and understanding of my strengths and weaknesses.'' Jun 16 2010 ''She was encouraging.'' May 21 2010 ''She moved at a pace that was appropriate for me. She picked in-class activities that were extremely helpful.'' May 07 2010 ''I liked that she is super patient and nice. No matter how many questions were asked she had no problem answering them and if I still didn't get it she would use didn't examples until I understood!'' May 04 2010 ''(I cannot answer the above question because I have had no other Spanish tutors with which to compare Rosa too. Perhaps you should reword the question).
Rosa did well at explaining concepts I think. Some of my classmates have disagreed--and I have taken classes in Italian and French previously so I already am familiar with the grammar rules. I'm not sure that any other tutor would have been better or worse.'' Apr 24 2010 ''She was so nice!! And supportive.'' Apr 21 2010 ''She was patient enough and understood the level of students and gave personal attention to students.'' Apr 19 2010 ''Explain verb forms and also [*] how to speak in the most commonly used terms--not in "textbook" fashion. Good at showing students how to express thoughts simply or according to their strengths/limitations.'' Apr 17 2010
