Ricardo has an excellent, logical method of instruction that has helped me understand, conjugate, and correctly use verb tenses - a particular problem area for me in Spanish. His exercises with irregular verbs (in the various tenses) has been extremely helpful, as they compare and contrast present/preterit/imperfect - for example. His presentations are well-organized and helpful. His techniques, along with his patience and good sense of humor, encourage me to continue learning and studying. I highly recommend Ricardo as a teacher.

Ricardo is an awesome teacher. He's very patient and resourceful. He's very intelligent - he can understand and explain grammatical rules very well. I've been taking classes with him for over 6 months, and I have learned a ton. I highly recommend him as a teacher

I thought I was fairly direct/clear about the fact I wanted a B1 DELE oral mock exam. I didn't want to take part in a lecture on the exam or whether I can use the subjunctive or not. I just wanted to be given a mock exam and explained my level after it. Why the classes have to become about the teacher I will never understand. I will try to learn from this and be very specific about my requirements in the future as to not cause any confusion with other teachers.

Necesitaba un profesor que me ayudara a prepararme para el examen DELE, especialmente para la Prueba 4, que evalúa la expresión e interacción orales. En mi primera clase con Ricardo, me ha dado unas pautas muy útiles que puedo aplicar cuando realizo esta parte del examen. Estoy deseando aprender más trucos y estrategias en las próximas clases.

For our first session this was great. Looking forward to continuing weekly. I think Ricardo is going to send us things for Zain to work on for next class.

Great lesson, very patient.
