Laura Cardona

It's always a pleasure receiving lessons from Laura. She is patient, clearly explains the grammar / materials, and tailors the classes to my needs (weaknesses). She will adjust the curriculum based on what she sees during the lessons and/or what she uncovers from (together) reviewing my homework. She has a great sense of humor while being professional. As I'm working towards DELE B2, we have been practicing example exams to help me prepare for the test, which is very helpful. She I also like the fact that she challenges me and has high but reasonable expectations of me. This helps me focus and our 2-hour weekly classes pass really quickly. Since starting with Laura, I have greatly improved both my verbal and written skills. I can highly recommend her!

Laura is a superb teacher. With her guidance, I achieved the professional fluency score I needed for my work. She has a wry sense of humor, a good focus on advanced grammar, and an interesting personal background that makes every lesson a pleasure, not matter what you mood you started in. I wholeheartedly recommend her.

I've had a number of classes with Laura. At first we tackled the subjunctive, and her style of instruction was really helpful. She has distinct perspectives on pedagogy, which I appreciated. At some point, though, we started talking more & more about current and past political events in Colombia, which is utterly interesting to me. Today, for example, we talked about the unfortunate parallels/differences between recent political assassinations in Colombia and the EEUU. In addition, Laura has done work with organizations involved with the Truth and Reconciliation Committee, which makes our conversations even more engaging. A great teacher, yes, but also a fascinating person to talk with.

Laura is the best Spanish teacher I have ever had!! I am using her DELE preparation package and I work with her 2 hours a week, and my Spanish abilities have improved very fast with her help. She is very experienced in teaching Spanish to language-learners and she gives great feedback and guidance. She also gives great explanations and interesting, engaging, and most importantly helpful assignments both in class and for homework. I highly recommend working with Laura, she is the best!

Laura is amazing!

¡Profe Laura es la mejor! Hoy fue mi última clase antes de tomar el examen DELE C1 y me siento bien preparada. Laura es una profesora muy calificada (tiene su certificación en preparar estudiantes para el DELE), es profesora y directora universitaria y tiene bastante experiencia con los estudiantes ELEs. ¡La recomiendo muchísimo!
