Miguel Barrientos

I have taken dozens of lessons with Miguel, and he is an outstanding teacher in his ability to speak to you at a speed and level you can understand while also challenging you to learn more each and every lesson. He truly loves language learning and methods for learning, such as “comprehensible input”, that ensure what you learn during the lesson “sticks” so you can build each time you practice. Recently he walked me through one of his “Short Stories” lessons and I was blown away. He literally personalizes the lesson of a topic/story/character of your interest and tailors it to your reading level. It’s extremely effective for us visual learners as the artistic frames depict what the caption is talking about. Unique and ingenious take on making Spanish more accessible and easier to process/remember. Miguel is simply an amazing teacher who can give you everything you need to actually learn, understand, and speak Spanish. Highest of recommendations.

I highly recommend Miguel to anyone looking to improve their Spanish! i've been with him for several months and have made noticeable improvement, and i always look forward to our next class!

Miguel continues to impress me with his teaching abilities. i can't say enough good things about him. Take classes with him only if you want to improve your Spanish with leaps and bounds!

I was looking for a teacher to help me over the A2 plateau, and I think i struck gold with Miguel. He is both encouraging but not afraid to tell me where I'm lacking in my study habits. I would highly recommend him to anyone, I'm very much looking forward to our next class!

Fue una clase muy útil. Aprendí muchísimo. ¡Gracias, Miguel!

¡La clase fue excelente! Estoy emocionada por inscribirme en la próxima. ¡Gracias, Miguel!
