Belem García

I learn so much more in a lesson with Belem than I have with any other teacher, including the college classes I have taken. She immediately explains small things that mean a lot to my understanding of the language, and no one else ever took the time to explain these things. She is also so detail oriented, and I need that! I have had the best experience learning Spanish with Belem!

Working with Belem for the past eight months has been transformative for my Spanish language skills. When I first started, I was a complete beginner with no prior experience in Spanish. Now, I am able to carry on simple conversations with Spanish speakers, a testament to her exceptional teaching abilities. Belem has an incredible knack for making even the most difficult topics easy to understand. We have worked on many types of input, including reading, grammar, listening, shadowing, and writing. She explains concepts clearly in both English and Spanish, ensuring comprehension at every step. Her use of examples and guided practice makes learning engaging and effective. Additionally, she tailors each class to suit my skill level and interests, making every lesson both relevant and enjoyable. Belem's personalized approach and supportive teaching style have been key to my progress and confidence in speaking Spanish. She is always upbeat, friendly, and has a great way of keeping the class

I am learning so much from Belem. I can speak Spanish better than I have ever been able. I can’t wait to see how much better I will be able to speak when it has been a year!

I had my first lesson today with Belem and cannot say enough about her professionalism and preparation for this first lesson. The time went by so quickly and she had me speaking some Spanish during this lesson. I learned more from her in the trial lesson than from all the time spent on language apps. I wish we crossed paths earlier, but I look forward to future lessons with her. If you want to learn Spanish, you will be satisfied with Belem's teaching philosophy.

Belém is a really good teacher! She does an incredible job of identifying my weaknesses and planning exercises that help me improve in those specific areas. When I get frustrated with certain topics, she explains them in simple terms and reassures me that improvement comes with practice. Through her lessons, I’ve gotten to the point where I can identify when I have said something wrong, even when I don’t know what my exact mistake was. She has lots of patience with me as I try to figure out how to restructure my sentences and also helps me sound more natural when needed. She always meets me exactly where I am and gives me clear things to focus on for next time.

Belem exhibits all the qualities you want from a teacher such as patience, kindness, and intelligence. She does a great job of explaining the 'why' behind what we are learning. This has helped me understand, retain and use the knowledge outside of our lessons. Her advanced understanding of how language works allows her to communicate very complex concepts effectively. She collaborates with me to customize our sessions so that the skills we address cater to the needs of my job. The benefits of her instruction are immediate, and I highly recommend.
