⭐Miguel Barrientos

Great teacher! Been learning with Miguel for a while now and the sessions are always fun. He is curious about people, and knows how to get you chatting about everything and anything. You leave feeling like a native speaker.

I just had my second lesson with Miguel. Once again he was very kind and helpful as I continue on my Spanish learning journey. Comprehensible input and feedback are the order of the day. Miguel is able to quickly assess a student's level of understanding and adapt his communication to meet you where you are. He also encourages students to move out of their comfort zone with input. I will working with Miguel a lot as I continue to learn Spanish.

I've taken almost 15 lessons with Miguel and it's been great. My goal is to learn Spanish (Mexico-dialect) over the winter (approximately five months) to better understand my Mexican co-workers when they arrive in the summer. I did trial lessons with three different teachers and Miguel had the most comprehensive learning plan of all the teachers. Since he's learned other languages himself, he knew exactly what it takes to learn a language and shared that information with me. He's continued to remind me along the journey what I need to do become better; which I really appreciate. It takes a lot of time and desire to learn a language, but if you're looking for a long-term teacher Miguel is a great choice. He's able to explain various grammatical things & differences from Spanish to English with me. His English is really good too; it's easy to understand. He's patient with my learning but also encouraging. Give him a try if you're looking for a good teacher!

In one hour, Miguel has left me with more tips, knowledge, strategy, and resources on how to further my language learning than I would have known in 6 months. Extremely grateful for his language learning wisdom!

I've taken several lessons so far, and they've always been really interesting. Miguel is great at conversation, and always introduces a wide range of great topics from history to travel to literature. I find my Spanish improving a great deal. Very much recommended!

Miguel's intro class was awesome. He introduced me to "comprehensible input" when learning a language and how that has helped him learn English. He's here to give genuine advice and not just spend time learning tedious lessons. But he encourages you to approach language learning in an effective way. I'm excited to start my learning journey in a more engaging and compelling approach!
