Herielbys Marquez

I have been taking lessons with Herielbys for over a year. She is a fantastic teacher! She always makes me feel comfortable speaking in Spanish. She pushes me and challenges me to improve. We figure it out together without translating when I say a word incorrectly or if she doesn't understand what I'm trying to say. I have so much fun learning with her. I had several tutors on italki and other platforms, but Herielbys is my favorite tutor. She is super friendly, kind, and easy-going. She is a good listener and a great conversationalist. She keeps the conversation going without any awkward silence. If you are looking for a sweet and supportive tutor, I highly recommend her.

I've been taking classes with Herielbys for a year and it's always been a pleasure. She is very easy to talk to and makes you feel comfortable speaking. She will feel the gaps or ask you a leading question to keep the conversation going and fluid. She is very animated but not overpowering. Looking forward to another year.

If you want to learn Spanish in a thoughtful and patient environment where the teacher speaks clearly Herielbys is the teacher you want to select. She is good at putting you at ease and helping you feel comfortable with practicing your Spanish. She is excellent at drawing out a conversation and asking relevant, thoughtful questions. She is equally as good at listening to a person read and correcting pronunciation even when she has to do it repeatedly for the same word. She is easily one of my favorite teachers on italki. I would recommend her for the anxious adult, the shy child, or anyone with a curious mind. She is always happy and ready to work to help you communicate better in Spanish.

My cat and I had plenty of opportunities to speak—it was a pleasure to talk about the story of the lost horse.

Great teacher, very patient and helpful. It was a super fun and interesting conversation.

Another great lesson! Now I see the Venezuelan presidential election in July will be one to watch—it will pit Maduro against Corina Yoris and a comedian…
