Testimonials about our Spanish tutors
for students living in Washington DC
''Eduardo is very skilled at explaining grammar. He draws diagrams and breaks sentence structure down which makes it much more accessible. His easy-going manner and ability to adapt each class to our needs (e.g. taking time out from a lesson to give a refresher or provide some more context, further examples) was invaluable in furthering my comfort with the language.'' May 27 2014 ''Adriana explained concepts and grammar very well. She was patient and yet very encouraging. Her smile and sense of humor also made the classes fun.'' May 23 2014 ''Kept the conversation in Spanish always, was patient with me while I tried to think of what I wanted to say in Spanish. Explained things well with visuals.'' Apr 29 2014 ''He encouraged me to have conversations about every-day topics in Spanish. I want to learn conversational Spanish, so this was very great.'' Mar 25 2014 ''Eduardo spoke in Spanish the entire class which was extremely helpful. He spoke very clearly and slowly so that I was able to understand with no problem. If there was anything that I didn't understand he did an excellent job at explaining, in Spanish, until I was able to understand. He is patient and very easy going. I really enjoyed my lessons with him. He is a absolutely wonderful tutor, extremely knowledgeable and able to explain concepts particularly well. Eduardo made learning very fun and I would highly recommend him.'' Jan 30 2014 ''He spoke in Spanish when giving instructions and discussing topics. I think this is one of the important things for my lessons because I don't want to speak in my own native language. And he's great about repeating something if I don't understand, sometimes we switch to English, but it's a good mix... not too much English.
I really like when we focus on the lessons with the fill-in-the blanks. Maybe we could be made responsible for reading the directions (in Spanish) so that we can make more mistakes and Eric has opportunities to correct us.'' Oct 07 2013 ''Gerardo made me feel comfortable with trying to speak Spanish. Unlike previous instructors, he would encourage me to struggle with trying to compose sentences but would help me with figuring out the [*] conjugation, word, or phrase whenever I got stuck. He kept the conversation interesting so it didn't feel like rote question and answer sessions. It helped a lot that he would try to keep the conversation flowing by correcting me only when I made big or repeated mistakes, slowly working out the big issues as they come up.'' Aug 05 2013 ''He was engaging and patient.'' Aug 05 2013 ''Being fully bilingual, he understood the gist of my difficulties in Spanish very well. He also recommended other resources to address problem areas.'' Jun 29 2013 ''Gerardo makes the classes interesting and fun. He is able to make difficult concepts understandable. He is very encouraging, and he keeps me engaged about the material. He's extremely knowledgeable, and he teaches exceptionally well. He's an excellent instructor.'' Jun 25 2013 ''was approachable and engaging, also encouraged us to speak a lot on our own'' Jun 06 2013 ''She was extremely nice and tentative. She made sure she was available if we needed extra help.'' Jun 05 2013 ''Eric takes his time with us. I sometimes have trouble with pronunciation and he makes sure that we get it.'' Apr 30 2013 ''He was enthusiastic and gave homework outside the course material that was of a practical nature.'' Apr 18 2013 ''I thought she was great! Everything was in Spanish, even as we said goodbye after class was over. There was a LOT of emphasis on conversation and speaking, which was exactly what I wanted.'' Mar 20 2013 ''Everything! Magda is an exceptional Spanish instructor. She connects well with her students and for the first time in a conversational class, I wasn't intimidated to speak out loud in Spanish. She was quick with a needed correction, and also let you know when you did something correctly.'' Mar 20 2013 ''She is very patient and will always spend time answering any questions we might have.'' Mar 20 2013 ''Gerardo made everything interesting and fun. Class was always enjoyable and informative. He explains complicated concepts very well. He was always prepared and enthusiastic. He's an excellent instructor.'' Mar 12 2013 ''Explained conversation that I would want to use on a day to day basis.'' Mar 05 2013 ''He was excellent in many respects. I especially appreciated his explanations of grammar and suggestions for phrasing/expressions in given situations that I'm likely to encounter.'' Feb 27 2013
