Testimonials about our Spanish tutors
for students living in Northern Virginia
''Gonzo is very good at making me feel comfortable with my learning process and allowing me to try to express myself in Spanish then offering corrections and suggestions when necessary. When I started my sessions, my biggest fear was engaging in conversation but speaking incorrectly. I feel much more confident in myself and my knowledge now.'' Oct 22 2016 ''First, since this is my first Spanish tutor (I had taken some Spanish classes many years ago) Question 15 does not really apply for me. Iris was a good tutor, she was attentive to our needs (2 in the class), was knowledgeable, supportive and helped us progress at the appropriate speed for our group. I enjoyed her sessions.'' Oct 13 2016 ''Eduardo is very patient and kind.'' Sep 23 2016 ''He was very good at explaining concepts I was struggling with in a polite and professional manner! He was great, would recommend to others!'' Sep 06 2016 ''She explained answers to my questions slowly in Spanish and clarified in English if I still did not understand. Iris is a very good tutor.'' Sep 04 2016 ''Thorough explanations and patience.'' Aug 20 2016 ''He was extremely encouraging. He was patient when I made mistakes. He explained the background of many phrases. He told me about how things are said in the way people actually talk.'' Aug 20 2016 ''Engaging, fun, willing to deviate from the syllabus if I had questions or topics of discussion not covered by the material; highly focused on practicing conversation over drilling grammar'' Aug 16 2016 ''He tailored the classes to my needs, and understands how to teach older adults. He has a wonderful sense of humor and keeps the sessions productive and enjoyable. I wish I was able to do more classes a week but unfortunately my work and travel schedule does not allow that.'' Aug 16 2016 ''Teach'' Jul 12 2016 ''Emphasized that we converse only in Spanish'' Jul 03 2016 ''He explained the etymology of the words which was helpful. He also explained the nuances of the use of language.'' Apr 19 2016 ''Gonzalo makes learning Spanish fun. He has a great sense of humor and keeps us entertained.'' Apr 08 2016 ''I enjoyed speaking with Eduardo. He knew that I wasn't comfortable speaking the language, so he was patient and caring. While I still struggle, I hope that I will continue to get better under his direction.'' Apr 01 2016 ''The tutor helped me get over my nervousness about speaking by engaging me in conversation in a way that was possible for me to respond using simple and later more challenging Spanish.'' Jan 02 2016 ''Eduardo was exceptionally good at speaking and writing in a way that allowed me to be a full participant in the conversation. He is perfect at explaining complicated concepts.'' Dec 14 2015 ''Eduardo was a fantastic teacher and so easily to talk to. I am naturally an introvert and always feared that we would run out of things to talk about (the dreaded uncomfortable silence) but once our sessions started, time passed so quickly and easily....just chatting most of the time and touching on questions I had as they came up.'' Nov 09 2015 ''Eduardo is an experienced Spanish tutor. He's excellent at putting class assignments and theory in a larger context, especially at cautioning when certain constructions may be grammatically correct but may be inappropriate for various reasons: just not colloquial or conveying differing shades of meaning from that intended by the foreign speaker.'' Aug 14 2015 ''He made us speak in Spanish all the time and focused on encouraging us to talk more. That made the class more relaxed and fun to attend. That is a big plus.'' Jul 21 2015 ''Explained Spanish concepts, easy to understand in Spanish'' Jul 16 2015
