Melisa Mauriño

Melisa is wonderful and knows exactly how to cater to your needs. She takes your interests into consideration and creates an informative and engaging class :)

The lesson was excellent! I really like the incorporation of authentic materials, especially from Argentina. It is my goal to visit and I want to be able to understand the culture. I enjoyed learning about Elena Walsh and really liked the song!

I really like the shared Google doc. It is my personal pathway to fluency. The activities are practical and help me to better understand my progress and where I might need help. The lessons reflect this as well and are very comprehensive. If you are looking to truly immerse yourself this is it!

Melisa provides excellent feedback. I really like her methods and she is full of helpful tips on how to organize and approach study. She always gives me something new to think about and really encourages me to keep going. It can be challenging, but I feel super confident and ready to tackle the language.

Melisa's lessons are comprehensive and include all major components for learning a new language (speaking, reading, writing, and listening). She makes the lessons manageable for working individuals and takes into account the realities of life. Homework is meaningful and helps to create learning opportunities outside of class. I find that I have learned more in the few lessons we have had together than I ever learned in an elementary college course.

I really enjoy our lessons. They are well designed and are meant to get you speaking or using the language right away. I find that each lesson I am better able to express myself and I have a better understanding of the language.
