She was very nice and patient. She also spoke my native language of English very well, which I think is essential to really bridge the gap between not speaking Spanish well and wanting to (I also think in English so I need to ask a lot of questions in English because I don't yet know the Spanish). One thing I will say that may increase her efficiency and success of being a teacher going forward is speaking at a pace where she knows her student understands. Teachers can't always expect students, who often don't know much, to be able to 'direct' the lesson. That is why we pay the teacher. She let me direct the lesson for the most part, which can be nice in some ways, but I was hoping she would direct me. I had a hard enough time understanding everything she was saying and by the time I started to figure out how to organize the lesson, which again, is not what I expected, the lesson was over. I appreciated her honesty and 'vibe' very much though!
