Testimonials about our Spanish tutors
for students living in Northern Virginia
''Engaged us in conversation, explained grammatical concepts, answered questions thoroughly'' Apr 16 2010 ''Friendly, understanding, did not make me feel nervous about making mistakes. She also possesses excellent knowledge of practical Spanish and vocabulary that might actually come up in everyday conversation, which is essential.'' Apr 15 2010 ''She is very friendly and helpful when I ask questions.'' Apr 13 2010 ''(I could not answer the previous question because this is my first Spanish tutor)
Rosa was very positive and encouraging. She didn't make us feel bad for making mistakes.'' Apr 12 2010 ''This tutor is personable and puts students at ease. this makes it easier to learn. This tutor is also very positive and encouraging.
As far as the rating of the tutor is concerned, I have never taken any Spanish before, but the tutor is much better than the French teachers I have had.'' Apr 08 2010 ''Listened, encouraged, tailored the program to my needs'' Apr 06 2010 ''She teaches to the level I can understand.'' Apr 06 2010 ''Monica found material that was of interest to me. She made the language come alive for me, and always had advice/tidbits of information of how I could use my Spanish in my community.'' Mar 30 2010 ''Overall very satisfied'' Mar 29 2010 ''Rosa is very patient, and she always corrects pronunciation which is important for me because my pronunciation is bad.'' Mar 20 2010 ''I've only ever had two tutors (both through SBB) and I was pleased with both (thus the "about the same" rating). Raquel was very engaged in our sessions, and I felt like she put a lot of thought into the preparation for each lesson.'' Mar 06 2010 ''She helps promote self confidence'' Mar 04 2010 ''Tania is very patient, and corrects our mistakes in a nice way.'' Feb 26 2010 ''Flexible study locations (starbucks was too crowded so we moved to a larger less crowded coffee shop). Very good at adjusting her spanish to use words that I understood as well as using just enough words that were difficult for me to promote learning new phrases and words.'' Feb 23 2010 ''Raquel was really good at speaking only Spanish in class and making the class fun and interesting. Raquel is very nice and was always available if I had a question via email or skype. By the end of my classes, I felt like I had meeting a good friend, not just a tutor.'' Feb 14 2010 ''Able to explain concepts well and in English if need be.'' Dec 28 2009 ''Catch errors in speech and explain them well. Raquel does a very good job.'' Dec 19 2009 ''I thought she was a great tutor overall. She was very adaptable and tailored the sessions to my needs. Given the limited time (4 weeks), we progressed more rapidly through the material I felt comfortable with and lingered on topics that I found problematic. She listened to what I wanted to get out of my tutoring sessions and followed through on these goals. She has a great attitude and also clearly enjoyed teaching Spanish, which made our conversations in Spanish flow better and feel more natural and fun, and in a few instances she also went "above and beyond" by continuing to speak Spanish for a while after the class was supposed to end.'' Dec 15 2009 ''This was my first Spanish tutor. She engages me to talk all the time and provides me with exerices.'' Dec 07 2009 ''very patient'' Dec 05 2009
