Testimonials about our Spanish tutors
for students living in Washington DC
''Maintain engagement. He could illustrate almost everything with a funny anecdote, and even his sentence-construction exercises were humorous.'' Dec 15 2007 ''She, Denise, engaged us in speaking Spanish almost all the time, even if we made mistakes.'' Dec 14 2007 ''Regularly repeating grammar from 1 or 2 classes ago. So you keep your grammar up to date.'' Dec 13 2007 ''Explain the concepts.'' Dec 10 2007 ''Making the class worth while the time while [*] fun.'' Dec 06 2007 ''Punctural, always there and available for questions'' Dec 04 2007 ''Joaquin is outstanding. He makes you feel comfortable speaking in Spanish and explains things effectivly.'' Nov 30 2007 ''Mely was very patient and provided excellent explanations, our classes were fun.'' Nov 30 2007 ''Mely remarkably recalled the group's weekly progress, somehow remembering what words and theories were discussed in previous sessions. She never introduced new material without preparing us. She knows JUST how far to push me, always gaining new ground but never overwhelming us. She is extremely flexibile on making up missed sessions which has been GREATLY appreciated. She is superub at deviating from her leason plan to address matters that we want to discuss. I look forward to signing up for the next class with Mely. She is an excellent instructor and is truly patient.'' Nov 21 2007 ''Mely really helped me with a better understanding of the past tense and also with new vocabulary.'' Nov 16 2007 ''I liked that she brought in different practices for us to learn more Spanish with...used games, fun reading, etc. My reason for rating the first two questions here as 'Neutral' is soley due to me. I wasn't able to put in as much time for studying outside of class this time around & am dissappointed in myself for that - ugh.'' Nov 16 2007 ''I have had only High-School study and one week with a tutor in Antigua, Guatemala. HS spent way too much time with grammar and theory, not enough Spanish. Ant., the tutor knew little English and was not able to understand my concerns. My SBB tutor was eager to get to Spanish and also able to answer specific questions I could only formulate in English.'' Nov 13 2007 ''Wendy was a great teacher. She made the lesson fun and interesting and explained concepts well.'' Nov 09 2007 ''Natalia was energetic, encouraging, and flexible in her approach. She was also good at balancing our different learning styles.'' Nov 09 2007 ''very nice and very helpul!'' Nov 01 2007 ''Denise was very good about helping me target areas for improvement. Also a great balance of new material and conversation so I could work on both.
PS--this question has a grammatical error in it--it should be "what did this tutor do particularly well? Good is an adjective, never an adverb; well is an adverb (in this case).'' Oct 29 2007 ''She was incredible sensitive to changes in pace in the conversation, using multiple words in Spanish to explain the same term, when it appeared that her full meaning was not understood.'' Oct 25 2007 ''She adjusted her approach to meet my needs'' Oct 18 2007 ''Whoever desinged this survey should correct their English! It should say: "What did this tutor do particularly well?"
She was accommodating and flexible. She tailored our sessions to my personal needs.'' Oct 11 2007 ''Corrects my mistakes in a way that helps me to remember and move forward.'' Oct 11 2007
