Ale Espinosa

Ale is an incredible teacher and I always looked forward to our classes. I met with her for about 4 months in preparation for an upcoming medical Spanish class I was taking at college. Through conversation and different grammar exercises I saw myself significantly improve in both my vocabulary and grammar. Ale is a great conversationalist and our topics of conversation ranged a variety of interesting topics. I really appreciated how easy she was to talk to and despite my Spanish not being being the best, I never felt pressure to speak perfectly and because of this I definitely became more confident in my Spanish. I would highly recommend Ale to anyone learning Spanish!

Ale is incredibly patient and continues to smile as she helps me struggle through the language. The sessions are fun and lively, and she combines a conversational meeting with the necessary grammar when needed. She's great.

Things were going well and I was learning, but at some point Ale started talking about politics and religion a lot! Those weren’t even the subjects I put as my interests on my profile. I felt judged because my views were different than hers. All I wanted was to learn Spanish but she started telling me about “canceled culture” and what is “politically incorrect” without me even asking. I don’t know just not a good feeling.

Ale and I have great conversations discussing a myriad of topics. She has helped me to understand the Mexican culture and its nuances. She has taught me local idioms to help me blend in on trips that I take to Mexico. Ale is very patient and insightful, helping me navigate through grammatical minefields and to understand why Spanish is phrased the way it is in many circumstances. She provides great learning tools and various activities. I highly recommend Ale as a great teacher to beginners as well as to advanced students.

Ale makes learning easy, fun, and fulfilling. She will actively listen and revise any minor mistakes. Every class is tailored to my specific needs, and she will assess which areas to focus on for improvement. He disfrutado de todas las clases y aprendo muchas cosas. Ale es una profesora paciente y es lista y también siempre te anima a hablar. Ella prepara diferentes materiales cada lección.

Ale is a kind teacher, understands my learning challenges and adapts accordingly.
