Juan Carlos

As always, Juan Carlos has given an excellent lesson. We have a pretty good routine. We begin the session with normal conversation, sharing recent events and chatting like friends sitting in a coffee house. About halfway through the lesson, we transition to the part where I read Harry Potter aloud to practice my Spanish pronunciation of words. It's fun, and I love it. In our regular chatting session, I didn't understand "Gavarres." We opened a Google Map to show me. That worked. However, that made me want to ask about different parts of Spain. Juan Carlos helped me find a place in Barcelona where I only had fragments of memories to piece together "Mosaic tiles of a lizard." We found Parc Grüell, and it was delightful. I received all these lessons while practicing following directions to manipulate Google Maps and conversing in Spanish. For this Thanksgiving, I am very thankful that I've found a teacher who is so flexible and so incredibly patient.

Very encouraging and helpful. I asked if we could do an activity where I described various nail art designs, and he helped me learn new vocabulary and describe the designs in a way that made sense.

I am a Spanish beginner and from the very start of our first class I had the feeling Juan makes it easy for me to talk and listen. I was able to follow him well and whenever I reached my personal limits, it was easy to clarify things. He's uplifting, light and casual which promises for a fun lesson with lots of learning potential. @Juan: My Saturdays are booked with you - looking forward to seeing you!

Maravilloso profesor, muy cercano, hace que el tiempo vuele y la experiencia no sea solo útil si no también muy divertida. Recomiendo para todas las personas que se sientan inseguras o tengan vergüenza.

This was a great class! Juan Carlos was an excellent guide to Castellano spanish. He has an excellent balance between being casual enough to teach slang words and provide context to the implications of vocabulary, yet professional enough to correct my pronounciation. It was an excellent hour that went by very quickly and I'll certainly be booking with him again.

I was quite nervous starting my first session but Juan put me at ease straight away. He was very patient and encouraged me to speak as often as possible. Juan was engaged throughout, prompting me to speak with questions and appeared genuinely interested in the answers, even when I was butchering his language. Looking forward to our next chat!
