for students living in Northern Virginia
''Santiago ha sido un profesor increíble. Ha estado muy paciente y ha explicado todas mis preguntas hasta que entendí la palabra o la estructura de la oración o la frase. Tambíen, Santiago es muy agradable, y él hace aprendizaje una diversión. Tenemos pocas horas más y espero que mi trabajo pague por clases adicionales.'' Jan 16 2007 ''She kept me engaged and continued to make the converstaion flow. She was able to determine the areas in which I needed help and bring in excercises to practice.'' Jan 16 2007 ''Santiago was very good at explaining rules effectively. He also did a good job alerting us to what verbs were most frequently used, etc.'' Jan 09 2007 ''She helps me understand the logic behind the language. She tells me when words are different in Latin America versus Spain.'' Dec 20 2006 ''Santiago is sincerly interested in my learning, and it is clear that he thoroughly enjoys what he does ...'' Dec 09 2006 ''Ana adjusted her instruction very quickly as she determined that I did or did not understand.
I was very well prepared for my trip to Mexico, and was able to ask for and understand directions, and conduct shopping transactions.'' Nov 26 2006 ''Ana is very patient with me while I learn things. I have had very little Spanish exposure and she was willing to work with me as I thought of what to say and how to say it.'' Nov 20 2006 ''Everything -- he customized the class to fit my exact needs, and his preparation was very impressive. For every class, he researched relevant reading material and came up with topics of discussion that helped me improve my Spanish. He also spent a lot of time correcting my written assignments and going over them with me in class.'' Nov 17 2006 ''Ana seemed to always know when I needed more description/help with a phrase or concept and came up with an alternative way to explain the issue in Spanish.'' Nov 14 2006 ''She's very nice and it's going well.'' Oct 25 2006 ''Santiago is the best spanish tutor I have ever had. He is extremely intelligent and well-educated, and worked with my existing spanish skills to tailor-fit a program that suited my needs perfectly. We spoke spanish for 99.999% of the entire duration of the last 3 lessons I have had, and when I had problems he would patiently guide me through ways to express what I was trying to say in spanish. He provided constant guidance and encouragement, and when necessary corrected my spanish in a constructive and informative manner. He also engaged my career interests and provided me with out-of-class assignments to perfect some of my verb usage. I have taken spanish classes for years, and have attempted to speak it all over the world, but only now do I finally feel like I am on the [*] track to being a competent and flawless speaker. A few more classes with Santiago and all I will need to perfect is my blatantly "norteamericano" accent!'' Oct 25 2006 ''Anna was good at pacing and was willing to step back to work on spots that I hadn't mastered in prior courses.'' Oct 10 2006 ''I feel that my tutor specializes each lesson to be designed to fit my personal needs. As the lessons proceed she is able to determine what we can skip over and what we need to spend more time on. She also is able to incorporate real world materials such as articles and listening exercises to increase my understanding.'' Oct 06 2006 ''I liked how talked slowly. So it was easy to understand what she said most of the time.'' Oct 06 2006 ''Very good instruction and gearing exercises to my interests, even though it's not necessarily a strength of hers.'' Oct 05 2006 ''was able to see [*] we had weaknesses and she challenged us in those areas. Was responsive to questions and explained them well.'' Aug 25 2006 ''I have not had other tutors, however, I like and appreciate Ana's style.'' Aug 24 2006 ''She adjusted quickly to my level of proficiency, and added challenging work.'' Aug 17 2006 ''repetition and practice'' Jul 18 2006 ''Ana adapted the classes based on what I was [*] trouble with, and always spoke Spanish.'' Jul 11 2006
