Sep 24 2007 ''Encouraging'' Sep 24 2007 ''Mely was a great tutor because she spoke to us using the Spanish vocabulary we learned in our previous session. If we did not understand her, she was great about re-phrasing her words and using hand gestures when possible. She was also a very patient tutor and enthusiastic about teaching us new vocabulary and encouraging us to only speak in Spanish during our sessions.'' Sep 19 2007 ''Joaquin, has been excellent. I am very impressed with his style and his abilty to push my comfort level for speaking by casually progressing our conversations.'' Sep 19 2007 ''Luis Eduardo brings a lot of different material to class and he holds discussions on a variety to topics that help build vocablulary'' Sep 18 2007 ''Everything. SHe is very personable, and helpful. Every class was a poitive experience.'' Sep 14 2007 ''Engaged the class to speak to eachother in spanish. Was patient and provided options for retaining lessons learned.'' Sep 14 2007 ''Engaging conversations in Spanish, rarely ever do we use English. Denise is excellent at explaining concepts or definitions and rephrasing them in a number of ways in Spanish so that hardly any English is used. She also has great insight into the concepts or phrases I need to work on, with minimal effort she was able to pinpoint areas for improvement without me [*] to suggest them.'' Sep 14 2007 ''Joaquin was always well prepared for our sessions. He always had activities planned and topics ready to discuss for our sessions. He tried very hard to get people to talk in our sessions. He was also very good at incorporating culture in our discussions and activities.'' Sep 10 2007 ''Mely was particularly good at keeping me engaged. She very successfully moved through the structure of the lesson plans; however, I didn't feel so much like a student as I did someone catching up with an old friend! She made all of the lessons relevant to current situations.'' Sep 09 2007 ''Mely explains things very well, she is relaxed and gives encouragement.'' Sep 01 2007 ''I'm rating Wendy here, not Santiago. I've only had two sessions with her, so I'm just now getting a feel for how she teaches. She is good about writing down new words and assigning homework.'' Aug 29 2007 ''She paid close attention and focused on my pronunciation.'' Aug 28 2007 ''Denise was awsome. She has a way of explaining concepts clearly and can come up with numerous examples on the spot to clarify further. She's always smiling and makes the experience more comfortable. She plans her lessons out and brings along material from the internet that I could keep for further reference. All the notes she took during the class were given to me also as further reference. Despite giving me the material she would always remember what we had covered and knew how to build on those concepts in the next class. She taught me tons and I can never thank her enough.'' Aug 28 2007 ''Mely was very engaging in our conversations, was very personable and always was helpful and accepting when I struggled with words or pronunciations'' Aug 20 2007 ''She was very well prepared'' Aug 20 2007
