I love how Manolo challenges me to go to the next level with my language skills. He doesn't let me stay comfortable with simple Spanish sentences. He helps me to speak grammatically correct Spanish using complex sentences. It's hard, but I appreciate it.
Me encanta cómo Manolo me reta a pasar al siguiente nivel con mis habilidades lingüísticas. No me deja estar cómodo con frases sencillas en español. Me ayuda a hablar español gramaticalmente correcto usando oraciones complejas. Es difícil, pero lo aprecio.

Manolo is a truly great Spanish teacher. Teaching Spanish isn't just a job for him, he is absolutely passionate about what he does. He has enthusiastically helped me improve my speaking abilities and knowledge of the language while enduring my never-ending stream of bad jokes, which is itself a testament to his dedication. Seriously, his combination of playfulness, humor, and rigorous commitment to helping you improve, creates a relaxed and dynamic learning environment. After 10 months of consistent lessons, I feel the improvement is really evident. Great teaching is an art and Manolo teaches artfully. So really, you don't need to read any more reviews... go ahead and book your lesson.
