Paulina Simbaña

I just had my fourth lesson with Paulina and I cannot recommend her enough! I've studied Spanish for several years now but have always struggled with my confidence conversing in Spanish. Especially now that I work with primarily Spanish-speakers, my ability to understand and speak Spanish is more important than ever. Paulina is helping me reach my goals and does so in a kind, encouraging way. The conversations we have challenge me and make me a better listener and conversationalist. She is an absolute delight to work with!

Today I had a wonderful lesson with Paulina. We meant to get into our lesson plan and homework, but our conversation was going so well, we just kept going! She is very good at moving a conversation back to the lesson plan eventually, but I told her it was fine that tonight we just chat about life and happenings and it gave me excellent speaking practice. It was very nice to just relax and chat with her. Throughout the lesson she did help me with errors in my speech and pronunciation but the time just flew by. I'm writing this review to say that she's really become a good friend of mine after a year or so of lessons and we really had a great time and she gave me some great life advice! Please read my other reviews for a more detailed list of what she excels at when teaching. E.g. her attention to detail with both pronunciation and grammar is second to none. My Spanish has improved more with her in a year than ever before with multiple teachers. She's amazing. The best teacher I've had.

Paulina has been a wonderful teacher, I have been working with her for about 6 months now. I have been trying to learn Spanish my entire life and I have never made as much progress as I have working with her. Whether the lesson is just purely conversation or working with books or a structured lesson, my time spent with her is always valuable and productive. I do believe that with Paulina's help I will finally achieve my life long goal of being fluent in spanish. Thank you Paulina!

Me gusta muchísimo.

Paulina has such great energy and made me feel so comfortable. She pushed me outside my comfort zone of conversating which is exactly what I need!

Me gustó muchísimo la lección de prueba y tengo planes de programar otra.
