Denise is excellent at explaining concepts or definitions and rephrasing them in a number of ways in Spanish so that hardly any English is used.

''Denise was awsome. She has a way of explaining concepts clearly and can come up with numerous examples on the spot to clarify further. She's always smiling and makes the experience more comfortable. She plans her lessons out and brings along material from the internet that I could keep for further reference. All the notes she took during the class were given to me also as further reference. Despite giving me the material she would always remember what we had covered and knew how to build on those concepts in the next class. She taught me tons and I can never thank her enough. '' Aug 28 2007
''She explained everything in great detail in an easy to understand manner, and her overall presentation and instruction skills were outstanding. She is a great instructor. '' Aug 22 2007
