Testimonials about our Spanish tutors
for students living in Washington DC
''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 ''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 ''It was great that Luis has lived and traveled to so many places - he could really share how varied the language can be...'' Apr 04 2006 ''Mely was very patient with us as we were asking lots of questions that were often unrelated to the lesson.'' Apr 02 2006 ''very personable. easy to converse with
interesting discussion topics
oatient'' Apr 01 2006 ''Me hace hablar.'' Apr 01 2006 ''Played games that made us speak more Spanish and force ourselves to think in Spanish. Also, check on the homework assignments and made sure we did the correct work.'' Mar 31 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 ''Good at explaining concept'' Mar 29 2006 ''Knowledgeable, friendly, helpful, very good teaching abilities.'' Mar 26 2006 ''This was my first Spanish Tutor.'' Feb 03 2006 ''Inma was exceptionally attentive to my needs and did an excellent job tailoring the class to what I wanted. She also has a very impressive knowledge of Spanish grammar and always explained grammar questions in a very understandable way. Overall, she is an exceptional teacher.'' Feb 02 2006 ''He's very patient and gives excellent explanations of how Spanish works. Very reliable and personable.'' Jan 30 2006 ''Makes class interesting.'' Jan 03 2006 ''Stimulate conversation'' Jan 03 2006 ''He listend to my concerns and needs and adjusted the course accordingly.'' Dec 28 2005 ''Very good a conversation.'' Dec 20 2005 ''Constantino involves participants in a variety of learning methods. This keeps the class fresh and interesting. He is also very flexible in addressing issues that arise but are not necessarily part of the original lesson plan. This session in particular, he has focused on keeping us "on track" by not letting us stray into English for very long.'' Dec 15 2005 ''professional, patient, and responsible
She explained things well and was always pleasant to deal with.'' Dec 05 2005
