For me is important to include students’ needs and interests during the process for them to feel more comfortable while achieving their goals. Me gusta la idea de compartir cosas sobre mi cultra mientras ayudo a las personas a aprender un idioma. Es por eso que en mis clases siempre hablamos sobre hechos culturales y hacemos diferentes tipos de actividades para aprender de manera dinámica. I like the idea of sharing facts about my culture while I help people to learn a language. That's why in my classes we always talk about cultural facts and we do different activities to learn in a dynamic way.

Another great lesson with Arnold! He is an amazing teacher, he is always well prepared for the lesson and is very interactive. He is very patient, easy to talk to, and encouraging, and makes me feel confident to speak in Spanish even when I make mistakes. The lessons are dynamic and fun, and I enjoy how he always keeps me speaking with different questions and topics. I also really appreciate that he takes my interests into account during the lessons and tailors the class to me and my level. He covers the topics that I indicate I want to work on and provides notes of the lesson to explain things and keep track of new vocabulary. He is also really great at explaining grammatical concepts by using visual aids to help me remember! I recommend him to everyone! I will definitely be continuing my studies with him. Thanks Arnold!

Professor Sierra is outstanding. As a retired college professor, I know good teaching when I see it! Professor Sierra is very patient, kind, and professional. I encourage prospective students at any level to take classes with Professor Sierra.

I could have added all the positives for the teaching style Arnold used in our lessons. He guides, asks questions, gives visuals, and encourages. He doesn’t simply just give you answers when you are unsure of an answer or not sure how to say something. He challenges you with guidance, and teaching this way helps so much for the vocabulary and phrases to stick with me vs going in one ear and out the other. He makes it comfortable to try and speak in Spanish, and confidence is something I have really struggled with. Another great lesson! Thank you again.

I just love my classes with Arnold, he is such a great teacher. He has a special ability to pull lesson ideas from conversation, and he seems to know when he can push me to try a bit harder. Our classes were always great, but now from having had months of weekly classes with him, his friendship and attitude alows him to push my learning further. Thanks Arnold!

Arnold is always very patient with me especially when I inevitably mess up. I often have ask him for how to say something and he carefully takes the time to explain options I have to express myself.
