Real Testimonials about our Spanish tutors for students living in Washington DC — Page 23
''Mely remarkably recalled the group's weekly progress, somehow remembering what words and theories were discussed in previous sessions. She never introduced new material without preparing us. She knows JUST how far to push me, always gaining new ground but never overwhelming us. She is extremely flexibile on making up missed sessions which has been GREATLY appreciated. She is superub at deviating from her leason plan to address matters that we want to discuss. I look forward to signing up for the next class with Mely. She is an excellent instructor and is truly patient.'' Nov 21 2007 ''Mely really helped me with a better understanding of the past tense and also with new vocabulary.'' Nov 16 2007 ''I liked that she brought in different practices for us to learn more Spanish with...used games, fun reading, etc. My reason for rating the first two questions here as 'Neutral' is soley due to me. I wasn't able to put in as much time for studying outside of class this time around & am dissappointed in myself for that - ugh.'' Nov 16 2007 ''I have had only High-School study and one week with a tutor in Antigua, Guatemala. HS spent way too much time with grammar and theory, not enough Spanish. Ant., the tutor knew little English and was not able to understand my concerns. My SBB tutor was eager to get to Spanish and also able to answer specific questions I could only formulate in English.'' Nov 13 2007 ''Wendy was a great teacher. She made the lesson fun and interesting and explained concepts well.'' Nov 09 2007 ''Natalia was energetic, encouraging, and flexible in her approach. She was also good at balancing our different learning styles.'' Nov 09 2007 ''very nice and very helpul!'' Nov 01 2007 ''Denise was very good about helping me target areas for improvement. Also a great balance of new material and conversation so I could work on both.
PS--this question has a grammatical error in it--it should be "what did this tutor do particularly well? Good is an adjective, never an adverb; well is an adverb (in this case).'' Oct 29 2007 ''She was incredible sensitive to changes in pace in the conversation, using multiple words in Spanish to explain the same term, when it appeared that her full meaning was not understood.'' Oct 25 2007 ''She adjusted her approach to meet my needs'' Oct 18 2007 ''Whoever desinged this survey should correct their English! It should say: "What did this tutor do particularly well?"
She was accommodating and flexible. She tailored our sessions to my personal needs.'' Oct 11 2007 ''Corrects my mistakes in a way that helps me to remember and move forward.'' Oct 11 2007 ''Mely explains thoroughly and has a relaxed environment to learn in. Overall she is a great teacher.'' Oct 07 2007 ''She listened well and was very receptive to our learning needs.'' Oct 06 2007 ''This tutor was particularly good at encouraging everyday conversation, praising us for the things we did correctly, and introducing new vocabulary. He was also very friendly!'' Oct 04 2007 ''used personal stories/current events to illustrate points'' Sep 30 2007 ''Mely has great pronunciation in Spanish and she's very easy to understand, she is very attentive and good at providing encouragement.'' Sep 24 2007 ''Encouraging'' Sep 24 2007 ''Mely was a great tutor because she spoke to us using the Spanish vocabulary we learned in our previous session. If we did not understand her, she was great about re-phrasing her words and using hand gestures when possible. She was also a very patient tutor and enthusiastic about teaching us new vocabulary and encouraging us to only speak in Spanish during our sessions.'' Sep 19 2007 ''Joaquin, has been excellent. I am very impressed with his style and his abilty to push my comfort level for speaking by casually progressing our conversations.'' Sep 19 2007
