Gon is the best! His lessons are very structured and he tailor fit it based on the need of his students. For me, this marathon of spanish lessons is very tiring but he still makes me enjoy the lessons and make me look forward to them instead!

Having worked with Gon on a weekly basis (as consistently as my schedule will allow) for a year so far, my Spanish comprehension and oral / written expression has improved significantly.
He tailors the material in degree of difficulty and amount to suit my abilities and needs - classes are always a challenge but never overwhelming. I'm looking forward to continuing to work with him until I'm confidently fluent! Thank you Gon!
