for students living in Northern Virginia
''Ana entretenia y la clase era agradable. Ana hizo la clase mucha diversion.'' Jun 29 2006 ''She speaks Spanish most, if not the entire, time. She is also willing to answer all my questions.'' Jun 22 2006 ''I have really enjoyed the first 3 sessions and plan to continue. I have a great deal of confidence in the program AND my tutor Ana. At this point I need to continue on as the program is meeting my expectations.'' Apr 20 2006 ''As answered above, the tutor avoided letting class slip into English, which may also have to do with fact that her command of English is not that strong. But that was a plus. She is also very friendly and personable which made for an enjoyable class.'' Apr 17 2006 ''Made it easy and flexible to work into my schedule.'' Apr 13 2006 ''Ana designs very good exercises for use in class.'' Apr 06 2006 ''Great at explaining concepts. Patient.'' Mar 31 2006 ''Her class was flexible'' Mar 29 2006 ''Ana talks to me in Spanish about everything and stops to explain words I do not understand. I know that comprehension is a very important part of learning a language and so this helps me a lot.'' Feb 13 2006 ''Me gusta que mi Profesora trayo articulos y otras informacion sobre como hablar de un bebe y el filosofia para ensenar 2 idiomas a un bebe.'' Jan 30 2006 ''Ana kept track of my weak points and, very patiently, corrected and re-explained items already studied whenever needed. Although keeping up with her objectives, Ana had a good understanding of my own obligations and never gave me more homework than I couldn't handle or assimilate. Throughout my two months, Ana managed to keept the lessons interesting and well paced, striking a perfect balance between grammar and exercises, conversational question & answer sessions, and reading & discussion topics.'' Jan 03 2006 ''She's very approachable and encouraging. She is able to explain the logic behind spanish and the differences between spanish and english. She is aware of my language level and rarely speaks too fast or too slow. She is always reachable.'' Jan 02 2006 ''I appreciated the opportunity to converse in Spanish for almost all of the time during the sessions. My tutor would correct my mistakes but did not do so in a way that was intrusive or that made speaking difficult.'' Dec 24 2005 ''She tried to ensure that the course was practical and relevant to my learning needs.'' Dec 20 2005 ''Ana is very personable and does not talk down to me in Spanish. This helps me see what a real conversation will be like. We talk about complex things even though I do not have the language skills to do it well.'' Dec 06 2005 ''I loved the fact that Ana did not speak perfect English. It enhanced my awareness to listen carefully and to study harder (before each session) so that we both can communicate with each other. In other words, if I didn't make the extra effort to communicate in Spanish I wasn't going to be coaxed by the tutor which would make it easier but I probably would not have retain as much as I did. Being tutored under Ana was like my own mini immersion course.'' Dec 01 2005 ''Ana always met me on-time and was very polite. She made sure I was always comfortable in our sessions. It was the most beneficial that she would correct me in my speech (which is my most difficult area) and explain why.'' Nov 12 2005 ''She corrected me while I spoke. We talked about current topics with words I will likely use a lot in conversation.'' Nov 11 2005 ''During the first session she discussed what I wanted to learn from the overall experience. She made sure I [*] every class feeling comfortable about what we learned in our session.'' Nov 08 2005
