He has boost my confidence level tremendiously. I am no longer "afraid" to speak even if it doesn't come out 100% correct.

The repetitive approach to learning Spanish was key to my level of growth.'' Jul 09 2007 ''Santiago did a very good job addressing our needs and answering our questions.

His positive feedback and patience were much appreciated!'' Jun 27 2007 ''She focused on the everyday vocab that I would need to know after my move to Spain.

She was a great conversationalist - she was a great match for me!'' Jun 22 2007 ''He was energetic, freindly, and clear. He had good examples and helped keep the converstion interesting.
BTW - the question should ask what was done well.'' Jun 12 2007
