Manolo es el mejor profesor de español que uno podría pedir. Es increíblemente divertido y tiene un talento unico para hacer que aprender español sea entretenido y emocionante. Sus clases siempre están llenas de risas, pero al mismo tiempo, logra que realmente entendamos y recordemos lo que aprendemos.
Look at all the subjunctive I used!!!! All of this is possible thanks to Manolo!

I have been taking Spanish classes online with Manolo, and will continue to do so. He is a great teacher, very punctual, responsive, and really cares about his students and their progress. I highly recommend taking classes with him.

I really like that the teacher took notes so I could review what we had done. I would definitely recommend Italki!

Manolo is a knowledgable and skilled teacher. He gives me plenty of time to talk and helps with my grammar as needed during the conversation. He speaks very clearly and at pace just right for my level. He is super patient in that regard. He is also very encouraging, positive, and funny. I am very happy the improvement in my Spanish since I have been working with him.
