Diego Grillo Trubba

Diego is the best! Firstly, he could talk about anything - there’s never really a dull moment. We chat about current events, what we’re watching, our personal lives, our careers - I can tell he’s genuinely interested in helping me express myself in Spanish in a way that’s relevant to there here and now. He’s also always challenging me right at the place I need it - he always has material prepared and is ready to get academic, but also senses what we need that day and is willing to challenge my conversational abilities if needed. He’s a true teacher in that way - meeting me and challenging me the way I need. Couldn’t be happier to have Diego as a teacher!

Diego has been my Spanish teacher for over a year now. After our first conversation I already knew he was the right teacher for me. Not only is he a very structured and skilled teacher, but studying with him is also fun. I was amazed by how much my Spanish improved after only two months of studying with him. You can see that he does not stubbornly go through a curriculum but adapts to the needs and abilities of each of his students. Our lessons normally start with a little chat and because Diego is knowledgeable about many interesting topics, the conversation never runs out. Afterwards the current grammar topic is introduced by means of exercises, examples or explanations. Depending on the subject and my needs there are also homework assignments that are always very creative and fun. I am looking forward to going to Argentina and visiting Diego in Buenos Aires because he’s not only a great teacher but also a very nice and fun person. :) Muchas gracias!

Diego is always terrific and is such an interesting person. We have great discussions about life, politics, Argentina, the US. He is very knowledgeable about what is going on. I appreciate his helpful corrections re my pronunciation, use of vocabulary and grammar. My classes are always entertaining, and I learn so much.

I have been taking classes with Diego for over a year and he’s helped me grow in my Spanish language learning and continues to work with me to help me build my confidence. His classes are structured around his lesson plans, but he is flexible and leaves room for conversations and practice. He also caters to the context I am learning Spanish in and makes learning fun - he has a fun sense of humor as well as videos that he shares on various topics to continue practicing outside of class. I can’t recommend Diego highly enough- he’s a a really excellent teacher! 🙂

Diego is great! He's been teaching me for years. My classes are always fun and I learn so much from him - and not just about Spanish! He's a fascinating person.

Another solid lesson with Diego. The pacing for the class is right and I feel like I'm learning
