Learning Spanish with Luisa never feels like work. It feels like catching up with a friend. Our lessons flow like real conversations, whether we’re talking about hair, work, or whatever else comes up. It’s like girl talk that just happens to be in Spanish! I always feel comfortable, supported, and excited to keep learning with her. I genuinely love our sessions.

Our class was amazing, as always! One of the things I really appreciate about Luisa is how supportive she is without ever making it too easy and coddling me. When I ask for help, she’s there with an answer, but if she sees that I’m trying to figure something out myself (even if give her my best “please just tell me” look after a while), she smiles and encourages me to keep going. It’s a great balance—she gives me the space to think things through, and it helps me feel like I’m really owning the language.

I took a break from taking lessons for approx. 8 weeks and haven't spoken much Spanish since. Luisa made this entire lesson feel like I haven't missed a beat. She got me talking, asked a lot of questions, helped me figure out some tenses and introduced new vocabulary that will help me build off what I already know. I'm super excited to start meeting with her on a regular basis again!

Luisa is an incredible Spanish tutor! She has helped me so much with my speaking skills, which have always been my biggest challenge. She is patient, encouraging, and knows exactly how to push me out of my comfort zone while still making me feel supported. Every lesson with her is engaging and productive—I can tell that my Spanish is truly improving because of her guidance. She always finds ways to keep our conversations flowing naturally, and she explains things in a way that makes sense without overwhelming me. Thanks to her, I feel more confident speaking, and I’ve noticed real progress in my ability to express myself. If you’re looking for a tutor who is knowledgeable, kind, and dedicated to helping you succeed, I highly recommend Luisa. She has made such a difference in my language-learning journey, and I’m so grateful for her support!
