Testimonials
"I have very much enjoyed having Ana as my Spanish grammar teacher for the past year. Highly knowledgeable and organized, she encourages her students and understands that mistakes are one of their best opportunities for learning. Having a teacher located in Spain has been an enriching cultural experience, as our class has explored content on traditions and regions of her country as a basis for studying grammar. I would recommend Ana to any student looking for a knowledgeable, responsive teacher." - Judy G.
"I’ve been studying Spanish with Ana for over a year and I’ve learned so much! She brings in current topics like the effects of the pandemic and we have lively discussions. She also helps us explore cultural topics like walking El Camino de Santiago in Spain. She corrects our grammar and vocabulary during the conversations so we improve our Spanish in real time. Ana has been very responsive to what we want to learn. She brings in exercises to help us master points of grammar we identify as confusing for us. I’ve mostly studied with teachers from Latin America so Ana brings an interesting new perspective from Spain. I have great confidence in her knowledge and skill and highly recommend her." - Vicky R.
