Testimonials about our Spanish tutors
for students living in Northern Virginia
''He spoke in Spanish when giving instructions and discussing topics. I think this is one of the important things for my lessons because I don't want to speak in my own native language. And he's great about repeating something if I don't understand, sometimes we switch to English, but it's a good mix... not too much English.
I really like when we focus on the lessons with the fill-in-the blanks. Maybe we could be made responsible for reading the directions (in Spanish) so that we can make more mistakes and Eric has opportunities to correct us.'' Oct 07 2013 ''Vanesa is very attentive and well-prepared. She tailors the class to my needs and abilities. She brings in vocabulary and concepts that are helpful for my work in the legal field, and gives me great insights into how to express myself in Spanish. Because she is fully bilingual in English and Spanish she can help me correct the mistakes I make and explain how phrases differ between the two languages and why. I have progressed a great deal and I am pleased with the program.'' Sep 20 2013 ''Neomi does a great job of giving real world examples for grammar techniques that I am [*] trouble with. She is also good at adjusting the pace of our lesson if there is something I'm [*] trouble with (we take more time on it) or something that is easy for me (we move through it quickly).''

I feel confident that she didn't dumb down her speaking for us, and yet was clear enough that we didn't feel discouraged and lost.'' Nov 29 2012
