''As you can see from my scores (all fives) that I think that Mely is the best. From the first lesson she has shown patience and humor in handling my mangling of the Spanish language. Mely told me in the first lesson that no matter what, I had to try or as she said trato, trato, trato - and I have. Our lessons are almost exclusively in Spanish. I can't think of a better way. When I've made mistakes that couldn't be remedied in Spanish she would regettably switch to English but once the point is made she switched back to Spanish. I only see Mely for two hours a week, but the lesson continues until the next time I see her. I read Spanish language newspapers and read Spanish language books, which we discuss in class. I listen to Spanish music everyday either from CDs which we share or on the radio. I even try to think in Spanish. That's the effect that Mely has had on me in regard to learning Spanish. Every class is fun and I look forward to sitting and speaking Spanish with Mely. I think that ultimately that is what a teacher is suppose to accomplish - Pride in learning and pride in the expression of what is learned.'' May 29 2007 ''Mely is an extremely patient instructor and explains concepts very well. She is a pleasure to meet with at all of our classes. She challenged us to continue to Speak Spanish, and not take the easy way out by speaking English when we were struggling. I strongly recommend her!'' May 29 2007 ''My tutor Mely was very patient and allowed me to use the lessons in the syllabus to practice. She was very fast in correcting me and encouraged me to continue speaking.
