This review is long overdue!! I have been taking Spanish lessons with Mariela for over 6 months now. Mariela's teaching style is truly exemplary—friendly, patient, well organized, and knowledgable. Each lesson is very relaxed. She utilizes a book, online exercises, and recommends shows and/or movies to help with my progression. I look forward to each lesson and—after all this time—feel she's genuinely "mi amiga."

I've now been taking lessons from Mariela for multiple years. She is fantastic. Always pleasant and very patient.

Mariela is an amazing teacher. She's kind, patient, and encouraging. She creates a very relaxing atmosphere for the student, which is vital when learning a new language. I couldn't recommend her enough.

Patient as ever. Lovely teacher.

I always enjoy my lessons with Mariela. She uses fun and engaging materials, and she creates a very relaxing environment for the student. It can be a little nerve-racking to engage with someone in another language, but Mariela completely puts me at ease. I always finish the class feeling happy and more confident. I couldn't recommend her enough.

Mariela is simply the best Spanish teacher you will find. She is both a very kind person and a great teacher. I always look forward to our lessons.
