Paulina Simbaña

Today I had a wonderful lesson with Paulina. We meant to get into our lesson plan and homework, but our conversation was going so well, we just kept going! She is very good at moving a conversation back to the lesson plan eventually, but I told her it was fine that tonight we just chat about life and happenings and it gave me excellent speaking practice. It was very nice to just relax and chat with her. Throughout the lesson she did help me with errors in my speech and pronunciation but the time just flew by. I'm writing this review to say that she's really become a good friend of mine after a year or so of lessons and we really had a great time and she gave me some great life advice! Please read my other reviews for a more detailed list of what she excels at when teaching. E.g. her attention to detail with both pronunciation and grammar is second to none. My Spanish has improved more with her in a year than ever before with multiple teachers. She's amazing. The best teacher I've had.

I have had many classes with Paulina. Over time my pronunciation has improved drastically along with my ability to read and articulate my thoughts. She is not only very precise with her hearing and corrections of pronunciation and grammar but also very creative and fun. Tonight we were talking about the difference between "profesores y maestros" (professors and someone that knows how to teach) and she is definitely una maestra maravillosa. She caters her teaching methods to the student and finds ways to make things fun and teach even the most frustrated of brains which mine many times is! Give her a shot, she will improve your Spanish immensely.

Paulina has been a wonderful teacher, I have been working with her for about 6 months now. I have been trying to learn Spanish my entire life and I have never made as much progress as I have working with her. Whether the lesson is just purely conversation or working with books or a structured lesson, my time spent with her is always valuable and productive. I do believe that with Paulina's help I will finally achieve my life long goal of being fluent in spanish. Thank you Paulina!

Poor internet connection. She was blurry the whole time.

Paulina is consistently patient, kind, and informative. These lessons are helping me a lot.

Wonderful! A lot of help in a short lesson. Many thanks!
