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!

My 8 year old son really liked him. He used in his teaching what my son is interested in and it helped my son learn in a fun useful way.

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 had my first lesson with Juan Carlos today and it went great! He was super supportive and he made me feel comfortable almost immediately. He definitely boosted my confidence - which is exactly what I need! Also, it was great hearing that we have many similar hobbies and interests, such as gaming and reading. I look forward to meeting with him again!
