Hi, I'm Marlene! I live in Puebla City, one of the main cities in Mexico. I studied architecture and music. I love all topics related to animals, nature, art, psychology, and philosophy. I love to be learning new things; that's why I enjoy learning from my students, and in each class they learn something new. I have taught music and Spanish to children, youth, and adults, so I know the challenges of learning a different language. I consider myself a very patient and dynamic person, so the classes with you will be personalized according to your needs and interests. As a Spanish tutor, I have taught for more than three years to people from all over the world. I like my students to be comfortable and have fun while learning, so... Don't worry, I know what it's like to learn another language and the difficulties that exist! My classes are different for each student, because each student has different needs and interests. I can help you with grammar, pronunciation, Mexican slang, or just have a very pleasant conversation. For me, conversation is the most important activity when learning a language; that's why from the very first class we will be speaking Spanish.

I normally leave my reviews in Spanish, as this is part of the learning process. But I wanted to leave one review in English. Marlene is a wonderful Spanish teacher. She prepares for every class, and she makes corrections with kindness. She remembers errors from past classes and helps her student learn, slowly in my case, from earlier mistakes. But Marlene is so much more than a wonderful Spanish teacher. Marlene involves either a video or an article in Spanish with a theme. Sometimes these themes are light. But often these themes are informative about things that matter in life, whether discussed in Spanish or in any other language. I have learned much more than language from Marlene. I cannot recommend a teacher more highly. Try her packet of five classes, because after five classes, you too will realize that you are learning Spanish as a byproduct of a more important education.

Great trial lesson! It was a challenge for me - my first time to have a conversation in Spanish that was longer than just a few sentences with someone. I was a little nervous at the start but Marlene made me comfortable pretty quickly. Marlene was patient with me at points when I needed patience and overall, she's just a lot of fun to talk with. She used the chat window to explain words I was not familiar with, very helpful.

Me encanta clase con Marlena! Ella es una buena persona! Hablamos sobre todas cosas. Ella me corrige cuando estoy cometiendo errores. Ella no va a permitirme seguir con lo mismo errores. He estado mejorando mucho. Ustedes deberían tomar clases con Marlene!

We were cut off exactly at noon. This is new, and we didn't like it.
