Marion

As a student of 10 classes thus far... Marion has the right temperament for teaching, she is very extroverted, open and agreeable. But below all that sits an analytical and watchful engine, taking notes of the topics that interest and motivate you, while analyzing your strengths and weaknesses and adapting the class to suit you. She's well prepared with resources for any questions or specific things you might ask about, she's organized and very professional. She also speaks English, which is useful when translating expressions, where a knowledge of both languages is a huge advantage. Although you would expect these things from a professionally trained Spanish teacher, I think what sets Marion above other teachers I have had is her personal ability to adapt to the audience. I bet she could switch from teaching 5 year olds to 70 year olds at the flick of switch. That's not something you can really learn, it's just something you are.

Our daughter loves her lessons with Marion. So much more btw. than her Spanish lessons in school. ;)

A relaxed atmosphere in which I can practice my Spanish language skills

I have been taking classes with Marion for over a year now and I couldn't be happier with my Spanish teacher. She is always on time, well prepared, in a good mood and supportive. I can ask her about whatever problem I might be having with grammar or vocabulary. She can explain things very well and it helps that she can speak so many other languages as well. Thank you Marion, I'm looking forward to alot more Spanish lessons with you :)

Plenty of opportunities to practice my vocabulary

Marion is able to adjust my lessons to push me more in times when my life is less busy but slow down when my work schedule is hectic. This allows me to be consistent with my learning and I really appreciate it
