Walter Poppe Villa

Walter's lessons are well thought out and very comprehensive and he is the best teacher that I have had the privilege of working with. Each lesson involves a component of listening to native Spanish speakers via a mp3 file that he sends to you before the lesson, homework that is corrected during the lesson, writing and speaking. He is also fluent in English if you get stuck and require more information than your Spanish level will allow. I highly recommend him.

Great lesson! Walter is very helpful and adjusts to your needs. I am very hesitant at speaking, but he creates a very nice and friendly atmosphere and encourages you to try to speak more and more!

Walter was kind enough to review the resume I sent him in advance of the lesson. As a result, we immediately launched into a mock interview. Walter was so very patient as I killed verbs and tenses left and right and also made up words. He would let me speak for 2 or 3 sentences and then gracefully correct me by typing the correct word or phrase in the chat screen. I am glad I found him and look forward to our next lesson.

Walter is the best! He is extremely prepared with topics and questions that push me beyond my comfort zone in Spanish so that I learn new things. His fluency in English means that he can immediately help me translate any vocabulary I am unfamiliar with and give me multiple ways to convey my message. He is super supportive and helpful-- I am learning a lot!

2.5 years now with Walter and I am very grateful for his expert instruction. ¡El mejor!

Fantastic teacher. Patient and prepared. I have benefited greatly from the organized style of the lessons!
