Great lesson today with Jovann. He has helped me to progress in my Spanish fluency. We worked on grammar topics related to past, present and future tenses and the subjunctive mood. His guidance has helped me to make progress in my ability to communicate clearly. I really enjoy my lessons and recommend his services to those who want to take their Spanish to the next level.

Another great class with Jovann! I really appreciate the time he took to listen to a Cuban song I was interested in and write down the lyrics to the song because the lyrics are not available online. We went over the song lyrics in our class and Jovann explained any lyrics I did not understand. I love Cuban songs so understanding the lyrics to Cuban songs is very important to me and helps me understand Cuba better. I really like my classes with Jovann because he is a very knowledgeable teacher and prepares lots of materials for our classes. Jovann is also a lot of fun to talk to about a wide variety of things. Thanks so much for another fantastic class, Jovann!
