Lessons in person:
"Carolina is an excellent teacher. She is always on time for lessons and responds fast to queries. If you have difficulty speaking she will adapt to your level and always make the conversation smooth. I was pleased that she chose lesson materials that corresponded to my interests and pointed out the areas I needed to work on in a kind but firm manner. I definitely recommend."KR, Berlin

"It's still a pleasure to work with Abel. I really feel like I've improved a lot and although I still make mistakes or miss vocabulary, the conversation is flowing well, which is exactly what I wanted to work on. Muchas gracias Abel !"TD, Montreal
"Denis is very helpful and provides very pertinent examples and good insights into the language differences among latin countries. The teacher is very attentive to details and explains the nuances which are not evident to a franco-ontarian. Denis also provides very good and helpful teaching materials."CD, Ottawa
"Abel is an excellent teacher. You can both learn to speak Spanish, use more vocab etc. or just practice the language with him if you already have a conversation level. Great conversations and great teaching skills!"TD, Montreal
