I’ve been working with Betina for a couple of years and have noticed my Spanish improving and stretching beyond what I learned in college. She’s especially good at working on my pronunciation and reading fluency. I’ve recommended her to friends and colleagues

¡Me encantan mis clases con Betina! Hoy me ayudó a traducir una canción y luego leí una leyenda de un libro que tengo. Me gusta cómo tiene respuestas claras y concisas a mis preguntas.

Gran conversación como siempre y luego comencé un libro llamado "Solito." Con la ayuda de Betina, estoy entendiendo nueva gramática y jerga salvadoreña mientras leemos juntos. También me ayuda con la pronunciación mientras leo en voz alta. Estoy muy emocionada por nuestra próxima clase.

Such great conversations with Betina! She keeps the flow going with great questions and personal anecdotes. I like how she uses the chat for new words so I can review after class. Betina is one of my favorite teachers as she is attentive and encouraging.
