''Mely was my first tutor, much better than classroom instructors. She listened carefully, her speech was easy to understand and copy (as when describing a typical day), she waited patiently as I struggled to form sentences, and kept me busy each session. The hours just flew by.'' Apr 05 2006
''Constantino allows the conversation to flow into areas that are of interest, so both the language usage and the discussion itself are intriguing. He also works new ideas into his teaching methods, so when I mentioned that I've been journaling in Spanish, he added it into the curriculum. I also appreciated his recommendation to pursue volunteer opportunities and attend theater in Spanish.'' Apr 05 2006
''She almost always spoke to us in Spanish and was extremely encouraging.'' Apr 05 2006

''Inma was amazing. Can't wait to work with her again! She really "heard" [*] I needed to work, and helped me to get ready for an immediate trip to Barcelona, while also understanding that improving my Spanish is something I've been working on for decades, and want to keep working on. She is *fantastic*. Working with her felt like working with a friend - I could ask questions when I was stumped, we could laugh together, she praised me when appropriate, and she generally made the learning environment so comfortable. One of the best things Inma did for me was relate my own frustration with remembering Spanish (I had studied it for many years and then stopped for many years) to hers with learning English - all of the sudden, I realized we were on the same linguistic page, in some ways. Inma works hard to be human to her tutees - I am confident that this effort on her part makes her an excellent tutor, and a fantastic teacher. She's a joy to work with, and I can't wait to work with her again.'' Mar 31 2006

''Constantino involves participants in a variety of learning methods. This keeps the class fresh and interesting.

She explained things well and was always pleasant to deal with.'' Dec 05 2005
