''Rosa is organized, enthusiastic and good at explaining topics.'' Mar 25 2009 ''Rosa always makes sure that all the students understand a new concept before moving on. She seems particularly concerned that we all stay on pace and are learning together.'' Mar 18 2009 ''Pilar y Mónik (Mónica) fueron las tutoras mías. Cada una tenía su propio estilo y las dos me ayudaban TANTISIMO! Las dos tienen la paciencia de un ángel y me caían muy bien. Pilar es muy amable y es muy fácil hablarle, ella hacía que cada sesión fuera divertida y interesante. Mónik me prestaba unos libros y me daba unos ejercicios y listas de vocabulario para estudiar y mejorarme. Creo que aprendí muchísimo con las dos y me alegro de que haya podido trabajar con cada una. Pilar y Mónik son tutoras fenomenalísimas y era placer conocerles a cada uno. ¡Qué tesoro son las dos!'' Mar 16 2009 ''Stuck to the curriculum but changed it in a way that catered to my interests.''

Nov 03 2008 ''brought out my confidence in speaking and i believe made me more fluent in the language i was trying to accomplish'' Nov 02 2008 ''Pilar has a strong command of both English and Spanish.

Pilar has excelled in this area.'' Aug 28 2008 ''Ia adjusted the sessions to meet my specific needs and was also very flexible when it came to adjusting meeting times.''

He has boost my confidence level tremendiously. I am no longer "afraid" to speak even if it doesn't come out 100% correct. All of Santiago's correspondence for this class was in Spanish which strengthened my reading and comprehension skills a lot. The repetitive approach to learning Spanish was key to my level of growth.'' Jul 09 2007
