''This was my first spanish tutor.'' Nov 20 2017 ''I have had private tutoring experience with two instructors. Both were excellent and I learning a lot very quickly and relatively painlessly with their methods. I took a Spanish class with another program in NYC and learned some language rules, but not enough to be able to claim that I spoke the language even minimally. My experience with Spanish Black Belt is an entirely different story. In even two sessions my tutor was able to engage me in basic conversation and increase my ability to understand and speak the language. I am amazed how much I've learned in such a short amount of time. My instructors have been seriously committed to teaching, but they are also very down to earth, friendly, patient and reassuring. They make learning fun and actually seem almost easy. Homework and online resources are excellent as well. This is an outstanding Spanish language program and I recommend it without reservation.'' Nov 14 2017 ''Maria Nunez is helped me to succeed in advancing in areas that was difficult for me.'' Nov 08 2017 ''Consuelo does an excellent job of matching lessons to my progress and making sure that I have a good foundation before I move to the next level.'' Nov 07 2017 ''She was very patient and flexible. I have always had a problem with speaking because I would be too embarrassed to say something wrong but she created a space [*] I felt comfortable. She identified my areas of opportunity and would focus on that during our sessions or during my homework.'' Oct 05 2017 ''Consuelo was the best Spanish teacher that I've ever had. She was extremely patient and helped me to go back and review concepts that I'd forgotten or never quite grasped in my courses through school. She was especially good at adapting lessons to fit my needs and interests. For example, since I'm interested in medicine, we reviewed medical vocabulary and practiced how to describe scenes and events that occur in a hospital. For me, this was a great practical exercise in how to apply the course content to real-life situations. She also helped me to prepare for a volunteer opportunity [*] I thought that I might need to speak Spanish.'' Oct 04 2017 ''She is professional but creates a fun, inviting environment to learn in.'' Sep 26 2017 ''Engaged me on individual learning interests. Was very accommodating of my schedule, which was crazier than expected due to unforeseen events. Nevertheless, Maria did a great job moving me along in learning.'' Sep 25 2017 ''Yaneldis is passionate about teaching. This is something great.'' Sep 08 2017 ''Tailoring the curriculum to our needs and wants. Explaining vocabulary we were curious about and always taking the time to make sure everyone was progressing at the same rate.'' Aug 31 2017 ''Explain things clearly and in multiple ways - verbal, visual etc.'' Aug 27 2017 ''Worked at my pace and made sure I understood information before rushing ahead to the next lesson.'' Aug 27 2017 ''She was a lot of fun so she made the class really interesting.'' Aug 18 2017 ''Yaneldis did a great job of balancing the needs of the participants in our group who had slightly different levels of skill and focused on teaching us how to speak in a way that is conversational.'' Aug 10 2017 ''Yaneldis is an excellent Tutor. She is very encouraging and great at explaining difficult concepts.

I feel comfortable with her, and I really feel like I'm learning a lot!'' May 24 2017 ''Very responsive; creative in her use of exercises; offered multiple suggestions on ways to improve my Spanish outside of our class sessions; very personable.'' May 23 2017 ''Maria Elena is super flexible with my erratic schedule, which is very helpful for me. But on top of that, she is a clear speaker and explains topics well. We speak Spanish the entire class and I feel very comfortable asking any questions that arise.'' May 23 2017
