Hania Jiménez

Hania is a gem of a language teacher. I was drawn to her experience in theater when I decided to give her a try. I’m a language teacher myself and am very picky when it comes to finding a teacher that will live up to my standards. In particular, I needed someone able to not only explain various grammatical aspects that have been frustrating to me, but to find a way to engage my brain in a different way in order to grasp it and use it on a daily basis (since I live in Mexico). I appreciate her excellent English, but particularly appreciate her mastery of Spanish at a higher level specifically for teaching non-native Spanish speakers. So often language teachers are “just” native speakers and they don’t truly understand how to teach. Hania personalizes her instruction exactly to what you need. I love how she not only asks me what I need and prepares for that in advance but is also willing to adapt in the moment (that improvisational theater background at work!).

Hania was fantastic—patient, clear, and encouraging. I enjoyed the lesson. I’m definitely looking forward to our next Spanish session.
