Learning a new language can sometimes feel challenging, but Denisse always makes the process enjoyable. She's enthusiastic, patient, and incredibly encouraging. I really appreciate how she explains new vocabulary while sharing cultural insights, making every lesson both practical and interesting. She also adjusts her teaching style to fit the way you learn, so each class feels personalized. If you're ever feeling stuck or losing motivation to learn Spanish, I can't recommend Denisse enough. She'll make you look forward to learning again.

I have completed approximately 70 hours of class with Denisse and I cannot recommend her highly enough. Since day one, my expectations have been consistently exceeded. My comprehension skills, both verbal and written, have greatly improved. I feel that the classes are absolutely crucial for getting the necessary conversational practice in Spanish. Every session is formative and enriching. She maintains constant focus and engagement, and she is able to hold interesting conversations on an unlimited number of topics, which makes learning very dynamic. The teacher strongly considers my learning goals and desires, adapting the content to my needs. She is always positive, patient, and in great spirits. Her enthusiasm is contagious and makes every lesson a pleasure. And she possesses an almost "supernatural" ability to decipher the meaning of incomplete or faulty sentences. This reduces frustration and encourages you to keep speaking without fear of making mistakes. A perfect choice!!

The teacher makes sure I understand even if she has to use some English. She sent a video for homework.

I have worked with Denisse for over 6 months. I believe she is the best spanish teacher I have had. For context, I am in my 40s and a professor/clinician in healthcare. I have taken spanish classes for about two years--both immersive in Mexico for a year and through iTalki. I feel I have learned the most with Denisse, and with her help, I have gone from no Spanish, to being able to spend a month in a Bolivia speaking only Spanish with my in-laws. Denisse is not only incredibly prepared every session, but she is also able to meet me where I am on any given day. Her creativitiy in lessons is amazing, and she always strikes the perfect balance of making you feel comfortable and pushing you to go past what you think you could do. She is flexible, supportive, smart, and genuinely a kind person. As an educator myself, I can appreciate good teaching methods, and I feel like I learn something from her approach every session. Highly recommend trying a session if you are looking.

I learned a lot today about money and shopping in Cochabamba. As a result I plan to apply for a qr (rtm) account.

I love this teacher! ❤️❤️❤️
