Wow, that was fantastic!! I told her before the lesson that I had a lot of problems with situations where I had learned the grammar rules but couldn't remember them fast enough while I was talking and made frequent mistakes. During the lesson, she asked me questions where I would answer using different tenses. Then we watched some videos, and she would hit pause during the video to ask me questions about what had just happened or what someone had said, and have me answer in different tenses (present tense for the first video, past tense for the second). She also managed to work in a few situations where I could use the future or the subjunctive. She was patient and waited when I was struggling to find words, but also knew when I was struggling too much and needed a hint. By the end of the lesson she had a pretty thorough picture of my grammatical strengths/weaknesses and had a plan for where we would start in our next lesson. GREAT first lesson!!

Siempre un placer hablar con Marie. Mucho ánimo y siempre me siento que mi español está mejorando mucho. Hasta la próxima.

Great teacher she was very helpful and easy to learn from. She made learning fun

Marie is a wonderful teacher for my 3 teenage boys. She is patient, encouraging, enthusiastic, and easy to understand. Some teachers do not know enough English to help when they are stuck, and some use too much English. Marie speaks in Spanish calmly and at a pace that is perfect for them to learn Spanish. She uses materials, stories, videos, etc. I highly recommend her.

I had a wonderful lesson with Marie! Our conversation was interesting, and she corrected me with kindness whenever I made a mistake. I definitely recommend her!

My lesson was nice! She is very friendly and takes a well-balanced approach that pushes without being too hard. I am looking forward to the next one :)
