Berna is great. He is attentive and very engaging. He really goes out of his way to teach new vocabulary and expressions. He is encouraging and helps build confidence. Always has a great story or experience to share. I've taken several classes with him to prepare for the B2 DELE and feel confident about passing after practicing with him. Highly recommended. Muchísimas gracias, Berna!

Una clase excelente, como siempre. Conversamos sobre películas que habíamos visto recientemente y luego practicamos algunos modismos y frases hechas, siempre de manera relajada y divertida. Desde que empecé estas sesiones con Berna, mi español definitivamente ha mejorado, y, lo mejor de todo, siento mucha más confianza en mis habilidades. ¡Gracias, Berna!

Berna was superb in making the student feel encouraged and excited about learning Spanish. He had a gentle way to lead on the conversation and feel comfortable and curious about the language. Even with the very first lesson, the confidence level has greatly elevated with Berna's lesson. Highly recommended.
