Testimonials:

"Denisse is an excellent Spanish teacher, who tailored lessons to my level and my specific goals. She took time to prepare individualized exercises, readings and homework assignments, which always happened to be just what I needed to learn. Denisse was able to explain things in a way that made something puzzling to me become crystal clear. She always made sure I really understood the concepts and was comfortable using them before going on to the next level of lesson, which made all the difference for me. I learned more from Denisse through her unique teaching method than I had from other one-on-one instructors I had used over the past many years of working to improve my Spanish.

Denisse is patient, makes learning fun, and is great at what she does. If you are looking for excellent individualized instruction in Spanish, look no further."

Sue Stendebach
Senior Advisor on International Air Quality
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency

"My experience has been great! Hiring Denisse as my Spanish tutor has been much more beneficial than solely learning via other mechanisms on the market. I have seen my listening and verbal skills improve drastically despite the fact that I’m extremely new to the Spanish language. I don’t believe you can substitute learning from person to person conversation with other means."

Michael Lamoreaux
Business Consultant

"The sessions have been great. I like that they are structured, varied, and focused on practice. I also like the chance to practice speaking in Spanish about random topics that come up."

Trip Hall
Financial Strategy Officer

" I have improved my English writing skills since I started my private tutoring with Denisse. My grammar skills especially on the use of articles, prepositions, capitalization, and punctuation have all improved considerably. Denisse builds the lesson plans based on my needs and always asks and evaluates what I need to improve on. The fact that she is communicating and building lesson plans based on our dialogue has been very helpful."
