Nando

Nando, What a guy! Loving having lessons with him. He’s a super-intelligent guy and very well educated in his proper field of study. One might call him “the king of Spanish” due to his extensively detailed knowledge of the language. He literally knows all the nooks of the language. Foolishnesses aside, he’s an awesome guy, very friendly, is able to pinpoint exactly what I need and I am learning a lot.

If you are looking for a wonderfully organized teacher with great attention to detail who is friendly and encouraging, you should certainly sign up for a class with Nando. Today we covered basics in the language: alphabet, sounds, combinations of sounds that are often challenging, particularly for native English speakers. Nando used various aspects of Croatian culture as a prism through which to aptly explain structure of the language, conventional usage, and other details that are integral to the language. We began first with a dialogue, which I enjoyed because it got me producing sounds from the language immediately. As you can see from the length of my comments, this was indeed a really good lesson and I will definitely be continuing as his student. Hvala puno, Nando. Vidimo se uskoro.

Nando created a great and comfortable atmosphere for our first class. He is super engaging and pleasant to talk to, I would definitely recomend taking classes with him.

Nando is a very attentive teacher. He is able to detect your weaknesses within the language quickly and helps you strengthen them. He is very well-spoken and easy to understand with extensive general knowledge which makes conversations both beneficial and interesting. Nando is also very engaging and supportive. He is also a very prepared tutor who goes above and beyond the sessions to help as he often prepares materials outside of the sessions to help you. Above all, my conversations with Nando are interesting and fun, the time always flys by!

Nando is patient, enthusiastic and encouraging

I'm not an easy student because I have already studied quite a few other languages and have an informal knowledge of Spanish. However, Nando very quickly assessed my needs and devised a way of working that would help me make the progress I'm aiming for. Would highly recommend!
