I've been studying with Perla for years now -- she's an amazing teacher! She's always happy to structure class in a new way when I want to try a new learning method, and when class is less structured, she's an amazingly patient and encouraging conversation partner. I learn so much just by having conversations about interesting topics with Perla, and she's such an intuitive and empathetic communicator that we were able to have lots of meaningful discussions even when I started with a pretty low level of Spanish ability. I really can't recommend her enough!

I really enjoyed the lesson. Perla corrects my mistakes in a way that does not interrupt the flow of our conversation. The one-hour session format allows enough time for a little every day chit-chat followed by discussion of a particular topic. She lets me choose a topic, but also has suggestions if I can't think of anything.

Very good trial lesson with Perla. My goals are primarily conversational (both listening and speaking) and Perla was a patient and encouraging tutor.

I really love lessons with Perla for her intelligence and interesting questions that make you think. she also really encourages me, so it feels sometimes that it is easier to speak Spanish

Fue un placer conocerla por la primera clase. Tuvimos una conversacion muy interesante!

Perla is a great conversationalist, thoroughly enjoyed my chat with her!
