I had my first lesson today with Belem and cannot say enough about her professionalism and preparation for this first lesson. The time went by so quickly and she had me speaking some Spanish during this lesson. I learned more from her in the trial lesson than from all the time spent on language apps. I wish we crossed paths earlier, but I look forward to future lessons with her. If you want to learn Spanish, you will be satisfied with Belem's teaching philosophy.

Honestly, Belem is the best! I've taken lessons with a handful of tutors, but Belem is #1 for me. Her lessons are always great; a mix of challenging, fun, and always supportive. I truly feel that I'm learning a lot. I love the combination of using her Literal Spanish site along with the 1:1 classes, and also using the grammar book for additional support. Today we focused on reflexive verbs (which I desperately need to practice), and Belem pulled in more resources, and then developed a plan for the coming sessions. Truly, she is the best and I highly recommend her to anyone looking to advance in learning Spanish!

Working with Belem for the past eight months has been transformative for my Spanish language skills. When I first started, I was a complete beginner with no prior experience in Spanish. Now, I am able to carry on simple conversations with Spanish speakers, a testament to her exceptional teaching abilities. Belem has an incredible knack for making even the most difficult topics easy to understand. We have worked on many types of input, including reading, grammar, listening, shadowing, and writing. She explains concepts clearly in both English and Spanish, ensuring comprehension at every step. Her use of examples and guided practice makes learning engaging and effective. Additionally, she tailors each class to suit my skill level and interests, making every lesson both relevant and enjoyable. Belem's personalized approach and supportive teaching style have been key to my progress and confidence in speaking Spanish. She is always upbeat, friendly, and has a great way of keeping the class

She was incredibly engaged from the start and made sure not to waste time on things I already knew, which I really appreciated. At the same time, she asked thoughtful questions to make sure I wasn't missing any important details. It felt like every minute of the lesson had purpose. Highly recommend!
