Ale Espinosa

I have been having lessons with Ale for the past year and a half. Ale has helped me enormously to reach a higher level from knowing basically no Spanish to now being able to speak with confidence. She is kind, patient, supportive, encouraging and so easy to talk to. ¡Ale es la mejor profesora y recomiendo encarecidamente sus clases!

I have worked with Ale for several months toward my main goal of greater confidence in Spanish conversation. I studied on my own before joining Italki, so I had some basic Spanish, but Ale has demonstrated the huge difference it makes to actually practice with a native speaker. Ale is an engaging, creative and inquisitive conversationalist. We have spoken about all kinds of topics. I have learned about aspects of Mexican culture, learned how to discuss some of my personal interests in Spanish, and even explored some perceptions of my own country through our conversations. Yes, we have covered some of the usual travel topics, but Ale continues to challenge me to go beyond the routine subjects. Along the way my vocabulary has improved, and I can understand more, better and faster. Her English is solid and I have had no problem communicating with her at any point. I am sure she would be a big help to new Spanish speakers at all levels. I highly recommend Ale!

Ale was very welcoming and kind! I was really nervous, as I don't speak in Spanish often and my vocabulary is very limited. She did a great job making me feel comfortable and repeating herself when I needed her to.

Ella ha sido de gran ayuda con mi español conversacional

Ale is very easy to talk to. She will ask lots of questions so the conversation never dies down. She’s always willing to translate phrases or words that you don’t know in Spanish to help you learn. I’d recommend her to anybody who wants a great teacher.

Ale is a wonderful teacher!!! I look forward to each class and every class I learn and more and more! Every class is great!!
