Real Testimonials about our Spanish tutors for students living in Washington DC — Page 30
''She was very patient and offered great advice on how to learn faster'' May 26 2006 ''Luis is very conscientious about reiterating the difference between various verb tenses, and his exercises demonstrate correct use well. He is also good at incorporating day-to-day circumstances and situations to further illustrate covered topics.'' May 24 2006 ''Mely started out by only correcting me occasionally so that I could get sentences out and then as the weeks went by she expected more out of me and corrected me more often especially on mistakes made from lessons we had done.'' May 17 2006 ''Mely is very helpful when I'm struggling with a new concept or with vocabulary. She's always positive and encouraging.'' May 17 2006 ''Mely was patient with me and helped me to feel comfortable actually speaking Spanish. She was excellent.'' May 08 2006 ''Explain verbs and past and presnet tense.'' May 04 2006 ''She was very encouraging of using the language, even if we're not sure of the grammar or pronunciation.'' Apr 28 2006 ''she takes time to explain to me more than once, which I need - constant reiterations.'' Apr 24 2006 ''Good mix of conversation and grammar review. Innovative homework ideas.'' Apr 24 2006 ''She allowed enough time to have free conversation.'' Apr 21 2006 ''She was very good at getting us to engage in conversation in Spanish which was very practical and helpful in remembering and reinforcing what we had learned in previous sessions.'' Apr 09 2006 ''I think Mely walked into a difficult situation and handled it well. She did not really have time to figure out [*] we were and what our needs were, so I think she just went to the lowest common denominator.'' Apr 06 2006 ''Mely was my first tutor, much better than classroom instructors. She listened carefully, her speech was easy to understand and copy (as when describing a typical day), she waited patiently as I struggled to form sentences, and kept me busy each session. The hours just flew by.'' Apr 05 2006 ''Constantino allows the conversation to flow into areas that are of interest, so both the language usage and the discussion itself are intriguing. He also works new ideas into his teaching methods, so when I mentioned that I've been journaling in Spanish, he added it into the curriculum. I also appreciated his recommendation to pursue volunteer opportunities and attend theater in Spanish.'' Apr 05 2006 ''She almost always spoke to us in Spanish and was extremely encouraging.'' Apr 05 2006 ''It was great that Luis has lived and traveled to so many places - he could really share how varied the language can be...'' Apr 04 2006 ''Mely was very patient with us as we were asking lots of questions that were often unrelated to the lesson.'' Apr 02 2006 ''very personable. easy to converse with
interesting discussion topics
oatient'' Apr 01 2006 ''Me hace hablar.'' Apr 01 2006 ''Inma was amazing. Can't wait to work with her again! She really "heard" [*] I needed to work, and helped me to get ready for an immediate trip to Barcelona, while also understanding that improving my Spanish is something I've been working on for decades, and want to keep working on. She is *fantastic*. Working with her felt like working with a friend - I could ask questions when I was stumped, we could laugh together, she praised me when appropriate, and she generally made the learning environment so comfortable. One of the best things Inma did for me was relate my own frustration with remembering Spanish (I had studied it for many years and then stopped for many years) to hers with learning English - all of the sudden, I realized we were on the same linguistic page, in some ways. Inma works hard to be human to her tutees - I am confident that this effort on her part makes her an excellent tutor, and a fantastic teacher. She's a joy to work with, and I can't wait to work with her again.'' Mar 31 2006
