Karen a kind and patient teacher is well versed on the different learning styles and needs of students. She was able to assess my spanish ability, provide me with a level appropriate lesson, provide feedback and assign homework all under an hour! Great teacher and will certainly see her again.

The lesson overall was enjoyable, and I appreciated the friendly conversation. I think it would have been even better with a bit more structure or by discussing what kind of lesson I preferred. It felt more like a casual chat than a guided session for learning new vocabulary or grammar. That said, the teacher was kind and easy to talk to, which made the class pleasant even though the link was sent late and we started a bit behind schedule.
