Patient Spanish teachers

Dayana was so great. I enjoyed her slowing down when needed and forcing me to repeat words until I got the pronunciation down (haha).‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎

Great balance in Spanish classes

I was concerned about doing extensive Spanish classes that were 100% in Spanish, but the teacher made the class equally challenging and understandable through her explanations and gestures. ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎

Engaging Spanish classes

Pamela was an incredibly engaging and kind teacher, finding ways to keep a class of two interested during a jam-packed four hour learning session. Her teaching was phenomenal and even though it was a lot of information, I feel as though I retained most of it. She did an excellent job and was always prepared.
