Rocio is really extraordinary - I'm so glad I took her pronunciation course, and I wish I'd started it sooner! Her method is unique among all the teachers I've tried, with a genuine understanding of rhythm and sound. There are some French sounds that I couldn't even hear before working with Rocio, and the French people in my life really noticed the improvement once I started working with her. Highly recommend!

I keep coming back for classes with Rocio because she offers something rare & unique. Not only does she have all the fundamentals required to teach like the delicate combination of encouraging words and critical feedback, the ability to converse & make one feel comfortable in conversation, but she is trained in phonetics and the sounds of Spanish and actively trains herself to develop the ability to teach others how to come much closer to having a native-like accent. It's been fun and looking forward to more classes.

Rocio puts so much effort into tailoring classes to both my needs as a learner and the vocabulary I’m most interested in learning next. She is attentive both to my pronunciation (strengths and errors) as well as to my interests and goals. I am in France right now and went to a small restaurant for dinner. The waitress remarked twice on how good my French was and know my improved pronunciation and intonation made all the difference. Thank you, Rocio, for your careful instruction and guidance.

I cannot overstate how GOOD Rocio is at her job. I have spent decades trying to find a pronunciation and phonetics teacher. No one is even close to her level of professionalism and knowledge. I will save you a lot of time - book 10 lessons with her, and you will get better at speaking French in a way that is fluent and pleasant for everyone else. Amongst my decades of learning, this has been the best investment.

Wow. Rocio’s skill of moving between structured, methodical instruction and more spontaneous teaching is remarkable. She always has many teaching tools prepared that she can pull from any time, but also is open to lessons that respond to what you need. Every moment in a class with Rocio feels rich and purposeful. In this way, the skills Rocio taught me have been more deeply rooted in me and my ways of speaking French have improved so naturally. Thank you, Rocio!

I find learning French difficult, but my lessons with Rocio are truly joyful. I am finally, after years of studying French, finally finding an actual understanding of the language and how it works. I find the pronunciation classes invaluable to my learning journey, completely worth the cost, and would recommend the series to everyone studying French.
