I have been working with Juan Manuel for about 5 months now. Juan Manuel is a patient, trustworthy, and kind instructor and person. He has a wide knowledge of the Spanish language and is quite informative. He is incredibly approachable as an instructor and every session with him is a pleasant, fun and illuminating. I feel so very fortunate to have Juan Manuel as my Spanish teacher.

Manuel is an incredible teacher who I always look forward to talking to. We always have great conversation and usually end up conversing about life. He is always energetic and more than willing to come up with homework or examples to help solidify concepts for me.

Manuél is a terrific teacher! He adapts each lesson to what I need at that time. He uses a variety of techniques and approaches. I particularly enjoy learning about culture from him.
