I look forward to each class with Mónica. Her material is perfectly paced and well sequenced, each lesson builds off the previous. She is patient and knowledgeable and quick to explain the mistakes I am making. Would highly recommend!

Mónica is a great instructor I have ever had. She knows my weakness in Spanish and prepares materials accordingly. Her explanations are very clear. I truly feel my improvements after each class with her. I highly recommend Monica to students for any level of Spanish learnings.

I highly recommend Monica to other students. She is very organized and she prepares each lesson to cover my weakness. It is fun to see how much progress I have been making with Monica's classes.

Mónica is an incredibly professional and prepared instructor. Her lessons cover engaging real-world topics that stretch my vocabulary and challenge my language skills in a good way. In addition, her lessons touch on listening, reading, writing, and speaking - with a good mix of spontaneous and structured conversation. Mónica also assigns homework related to the topic of the week that allows me to invest as much (or as little) as I’d like in building my reading, writing, and listening skills outside of class. I highly, highly recommend working with Mónica.

Mónica is an excellent tutor. She does not approach Spanish, even with a beginner such as myself, as a loose collection of words but as a reactive system that requires steady, thoughtful introduction. Her teaching style prioritizes engagement and I've found each of her presentations and homework assignments to be motivating and helpful. Mónica is knowledgeable and generous and I strongly recommend learning under her.

I learned many vocabulary describing house with rooms like kitchen, dining, living rooms etc. It is a lot of vocabulary but I think these are essentials for daily conversations. Monica is very organized and her explanations are always very clear.
