This lesson was so much fun! Monica is enthusiastic, patient, motivating, encouraging, and makes learning enjoyable. She created such a relaxed atmosphere that it felt like I was talking with a friend. I loved every minute of the lesson. I’m definitely keeping her as my teacher, will continue booking classes with her, and can’t wait for our next lesson!

I have completed 20 lessons with Monica. Everything I enjoyed about our classes from the beginning has continued. She is friendly, easy to talk to, and patient. Monica is the type of person that you actually want to sit down and talk with a lot, which is absolutely necessary with a tutor. I book conversation classes, and the conversation is always wonderful. We begin with some spontaneous conversation, but Monica also always has materials to facilitate conversation, which is great because it gets me talking about things that I wouldn't normally gravitate towards, and it helps me acquire new vocabulary and grammar. When I have questions, her explanations are fantastic. Over the past 20 lessons, I can say without a doubt that my comprehension and production have improved.

Classes with Monica are like my weekly infusion of sunshine and joy. She is so encouraging, warm, friendly, easy to talk to, and her lessons are SO fun. Her teaching style and lesson planning is super interesting and creative, and I always walk away feeling like I explored a new little part of the world in addition to improving my speaking skills. Monica is the best!! 💜
