''Very personable, responsive, provides extra follow-up explanations after class, extremely thorough.''
''I have had teachers in the past but not tutors, so it is hard to compare since there is a difference in having a classroom teacher and one that teaches in a small group. But my experience with my tutor is much better than any past teachers. She is a dynamic tutor, and pushes you to use the language. It feels important to be prepared for her class as a result. She is very patient, and always gives lots of encouragement, despite one's own doubts. She is always well prepared and readily explains concepts, always leaving room for questions.''
''Patricia did a great job of making the lessons engaging and understandable. She was also very friendly and created a welcoming environment in our class!''
''She was very patient and helped us when needed. She had a great attitude and sense of humor.''
''She was very encouraging and enthusiastic and accepting of mistakes.''
''Always corrected my pronunciation, which is helpful. Give me spellings of ne vocabulary. She had good resources and new study methods that really worked for me.''
''She explained things well and reviewed concepts that were hard to understand.''
''Excellent use of role playing exercises in Spanish to force students to use improvisation to improve conversational abilities. I also liked that we used the course materials for the most part, but the instructor was flexible and understood when it made sense to do something different.''
''Taylored it to our particular needs, encouraged us to watch/listen to spanish outside of class for leisure.''
''I really have enjoyed Patricia's energy and organization during the class. We go through the assigned topics, but there is room to talk and speak loosely too, which I like.''
