Testimonials about our Spanish tutors
for students living in Washington DC
''Her teaching was fine. But there were 4 students in the class-two advanced and 2 beginner, and she was not able to satisfy both groups. So the level of Spanish was not very challenging for me, and it was hard for me to stay engaged. I would not do another Black Belt class unless I knew for sure that the other students were around my level.'' Jan 16 2007 ''Wendy helped all of us feel so very comfortable in our efforts to try to speak Spanish. We all needed correction, but Wendy corrects us so gently and so lovingly we were not at all intimidated.'' Jan 16 2007 ''Using different words in Spanish to explain new words. I like not being handed the answer in English.'' Jan 16 2007 ''I loved his flexability. Even though he always came to class with prepared work, he did not necessarily force it, he would stop if I am [*] difficulty, especially with a particular tense and say 'ok, forget about this, lets go over the tense.' In other words he was not concerned about finishing the work he brought to class in class, he would say do it as home work. Lets ensure you understand this.'' Jan 09 2007 ''Good at adapting during class'' Jan 02 2007 ''Because Eduardo was flexible, it did not even seem like a class. I think that learned more because it was fun to meet with him and talk over a cup of tea. He was also very supportive/positive while always asking for more at the same time.'' Dec 15 2006 ''Mely was personable and was able to articulate the cultural differences of South America, Spain, and the United States.'' Dec 11 2006 ''Friendly, managed different skill levels very well. Made me very comfortable. We encouraging.'' Dec 08 2006 ''Very good at pacing, introducing new concepts'' Nov 13 2006 ''Explain Spanish concepts, converse in Spanish'' Nov 04 2006 ''Assignments really challenged me and helped me improve. Was flexible and tailored course to my needs.'' Nov 02 2006 ''Mely was very nice, patient and always knew when I didn't know something or didn't understand things and therefore explained it. I actually had a great time meeting with her, they were the most interesting spanish lessons I had so far. Thank you very much!!'' Nov 01 2006 ''Mely is great at picking the times to correct grammar and at keeping the lessons in Spanish even when difficult by using alternative words or phrases until the point gets across clearly.'' Oct 31 2006 ''I rated her about the same, because my previous teacher was also excellent -- I really appreciated Mely's style, her words of encouragement, her ability to engage me in conversation on a wide range of topics -- she was great'' Oct 25 2006 ''Much better than other classes i've taken because the smaller group size allowed me to ask more questions. Also, Wendy is a native speacker but was real easy to understand her english. She was great!'' Oct 24 2006 ''Mely did everything well, can't fault her!!!'' Oct 23 2006 ''He is prepared for each session but also flexible in letting the coversation develop naturally. He never lets the course become boring, and we have never had trouble filling up the class time. He also encourages me to be creative with my writing.'' Oct 23 2006 ''He is funny and makes me feel comfortable making mistakes because I tend to get very embarrased when I try to speak Spanish. He was great about incorporating a variety of homework assignments including movies, podcasts, and articles which helped me master different skills. Joaquin is fantastic and makes learning enjoyable!'' Oct 23 2006 ''I have never had Spanish tutoring. Mely is personable and eager to help us learn. She takes an interest in us personally.'' Oct 12 2006 ''Mely is patient and clear, and somehow makes me feel comfortable enough to bumble through conversation...she is precise [*] she needs to be to teach effectively, but not stifling. She has a wonderful style.'' Oct 10 2006
