Juan Carlos Santiago

I had an amazing first lesson with Juan! He is very friendly and helped me feel more confident about my Spanish speaking skills during our conversation! I found it very useful when he typed out any words I didn’t know on the screen so I could read them and take notes. Juan also was great because he had tons of interesting conversation topics; I really enjoyed hearing him talk about Mexican history! Overall, I thought we had a very productive lesson and I can’t wait to work with him again soon!

I had an amazing class with Juan! He's so nice, patient, and polite! Today I learned a lot about the Mexican culture with Juan. He not only anwsered all my questions, but he also corrected me and helped me to talk in a more natural way. I can't wait to talk to him again. Gracias Juan!

I enjoy learning with Juan. He is a very easy to get along with person. he was extremely friendly and helpful.

Juan Carlos is awesome as always! Very patient and supportive. He gives me some structure for the things I need to focus on. He also speaks mostly in Spanish, which is great for me because it helps my listening comprehension. It's only been 4 classes but I can already tell a difference. Take a class with him and just converse for a bit so he can tell where you need help. You will like it!

I really enjoyed learning with Juan.

I spoke to Juan in 2023 when I first gave Spanish a go and then after 2024 stalled my plans, I came back to him in 2025. He's been fantastic both in 2023 and this year. He's very casual and his grasp of English is the perfect amount for when I need to quickly express a complex thought or ask a question in English so that we can proceed forward in Spanish again. I find that he is very patient in letting me slowly trip over myself trying to express thoughts but then very casually corrects me without making me feel bad or over correcting to the point that I can't even get a full thought out. It's a very fine line and he does well to navigate it. I definitely recommend him and I'm confident he'll be critical to me getting all the way to conversational Spanish!
