Lorena

Acabo de volver de dos semanas en Mexico y todo lo que puedo decirte es: hice todo 100% en español: inmigracion, restaurantes, museos, la farmacia... Incluso traduje una excursión en barco en el golfo de méxico para turistas estadounidenses porque era la única que podía comunicarse con el pescador/guía. I had whole political debates with chileans, made friends with a spanish girl & a Peruvian Man on a tour to Puebla.... I sat and made lunch conversation with mexican sisters and we talked for TWO hours straight! Los mexicanos no paraban de preguntarme: «si eres alemána, ¿por qué habla tan bien español? Suenas tan fluido!» (¡¡y yo me sentía realmente fluida!!) Un ENORME elogio para Lorena y sus lecciones. Ella hizo que mi tiempo en México fuera tan mágico con mi castellano. <3

Lorena adjusted her schedule to accommodate mine, a very good benefit. She was courteous and helpful. I am doing the long slog through the subjunctive which is very hard and seems to have a million rules and exceptions to rules. Lorena can explain all this in Spanish or English. Five Star all the way.

I had my second lesson with Lorena and chose her out of the other teachers/tutors because of the way she uses games and activities to help create conversations. For me it is less stressful than one-on-one conversations where it is only a conversation. Possibly because I'm still working on basic conversations and this method works best for me considering where I am in my learning journey.

i have recommended lorena to 4 friends, because there is no better teacher at meeting you at your spanish level, while also slowly challenging your vocabularly and conjugation. she makes good conversation, has interesting visual aids that prompt discussion, and is especially good at dealing with spanglish -- the crazy phrases and words we use when we're learning spanish -- she can figure it out. you won't find a better teacher.

My first class on italki. I was very nervous. Lorena made me feel comfortable. I like her lesson plans. I look forward to more lessons!

I really enjoy the lessons with Lorena, she is really kind and attentive and is very supportive! She always has something planned, but is also open to seeing if there is anything I would like to do for the lesson! I cannot recommend her enough!
