Allison Ruiz

Awesome class. Thanks so much. I really appreciate how well-planned out the lessons are. Today Allison asked me lots of interesting questions such as if I'd rather have $10,000 or the ability to speak spanish like a native (haha of course I chose the ability to speak spanish like a native!! 😊) but it was lots of fun to think about such interesting questions. She's such a gifted teacher and the time just flies when I'm talking with her since she makes learning Spanish such a fun experience. Thanks Allison you're the best!!

Another good lesson. She often picks difficult topics to discuss which helps push me outside of my 'language comfort zone' and forces me to learn new ways to express myself. She is understanding even when sometimes my ideas get "lost in translation"

I have loved taking classes consistently with Allison for the last six months. Allison is a prepared, creative and consistent teacher, by far, she is one of the most reliable and valuable teachers that I have worked with on I-talki. Her use of engaging stories is a fantastic pedagogical method that invites careful listening, which is then followed up with discussion. When we first began classes together, I would ask Allison all of the time to repeat aspects of the stories (which are all super fun and creative), and every time she would do so with care and patience. This process of listening, then whenever needed repeating, followed up by responding and more conversation, has proven to be an immensely helpful tool throughout this exciting learning journey. Allison always comes prepared for our classes, yet at the same time, she is attentive and responsive to the given mood of the student (me). I highly recommend Allison for all students of Spanish. Thank you, Allison!

Allison is a fantastic teacher!!

Allison is a fantastic teacher! She has a real knack for calibrating lessons to the student's interests and level of understanding. Highly recommended!
