Key Benefit SpanishBlackBelt ''Iris was great. She explained concepts well, spoke in Spanish the whole time and kept class interesting.'' Jul 23 2017

Key Benefit SpanishBlackBelt ''Gonzalo was patient, flexible and encouraging and very energetic and creative.'' Apr 04 2017

Key Benefit SpanishBlackBelt ''I started my last session with Claudia Concha, but moved on to most recently be working with Alvaro Llanos. I have very positive thing to say about my classes with Claudia, but this survey is in reference to Alvaro's class. Al's strength is that he doesn't take it easy on me--which I appreciate very much. I chose SpanishBlackbelt because it has been the only format [*] I have been able to improve my Spanish fluency without traveling to do a formal immersion program. Al is good at mirroring this experience. He speaks to me in our classes fairly directly without watering down his speech to beginner levels. When I fail to understand something he adjusts and explains in simpler Spanish, of course. But I have enjoyed this direct approach and feel it helps me progress faster.'' Mar 26 2017

Key Benefit SpanishBlackBelt ''Gonzalo was always willing to review and be patient when we were learning. He explained the objectives in different ways.'' Mar 22 2017

Key Benefit SpanishBlackBelt ''Gonzalo explained everything very well. He was always at the location early and made great use of the time. We covered all of the material for each session and continued to converse in Spanish at a high level.'' Mar 12 2017

Key Benefit SpanishBlackBelt ''This tutor provided interesting readings that generated conversation and helped to build vocabulary. I liked that we once went for a walk, discussing observations in Spanish.'' Feb 27 2017

Key Benefit SpanishBlackBelt ''Gonzalo is full of energy, was always punctual, and could answer most of my questions on grammar without making it more confusing. He was willing to tailor lessons to meet my needs and even loaned me a book to read.'' Jan 03 2017

Key Benefit SpanishBlackBelt ''Spent time talking to me about daily things so I could practice my conversational skills.'' Nov 14 2016

Key Benefit SpanishBlackBelt ''Gonzo is very good at making me feel comfortable with my learning process and allowing me to try to express myself in Spanish then offering corrections and suggestions when necessary. When I started my sessions, my biggest fear was engaging in conversation but speaking incorrectly. I feel much more confident in myself and my knowledge now.'' Oct 22 2016

Key Benefit SpanishBlackBelt ''First, since this is my first Spanish tutor (I had taken some Spanish classes many years ago) Question 15 does not really apply for me. Iris was a good tutor, she was attentive to our needs (2 in the class), was knowledgeable, supportive and helped us progress at the appropriate speed for our group. I enjoyed her sessions.'' Oct 13 2016

Key Benefit SpanishBlackBelt ''She was very willing to discuss any topics that I found interesting and answered all of my questions. She was flexible with class scheduling as well'' Oct 10 2016

Key Benefit SpanishBlackBelt ''Claudia was incredibly thoughtful in responding to perhaps what could have been picky grammar questions I had. Sometimes she would come to the next class and indicate that she had been thinking about a question I had in the previous class. In one class, she had even gone through and found a way to diagram a particular concept differently to try to help me better understand it.'' Sep 24 2016

Key Benefit SpanishBlackBelt ''Eduardo is very patient and kind.'' Sep 23 2016

Key Benefit SpanishBlackBelt ''She explained answers to my questions slowly in Spanish and clarified in English if I still did not understand. Iris is a very good tutor.'' Sep 04 2016
