Profe Edma

Ayer me dijó alguien que me ha visto fenomenal con el español y sin duda es por las clases con Profe Edma. Yesterday, I was told by someone that they felt my Spanish was going really well and no doubt that's because of the classes with Profe Edma! Thank you for consistently challenging me and being so kind and patient!

Awesome class, as always! I have made significant improvements with Spanish over the last couple of months thanks to Edma's commitment to excellence in teaching. Edma is an exceptional teacher, who clearly loves all things about the Spanish language, which is contagious for me, as her student. Edma has pushed me into learning more grammar, and much of it - for me as a beginner (one year of Spanish) - has been brand new, nonetheless, little by little, I am learning and improving my Spanish. Edma knows how to strike the right balance between flexibility and structure. On the one hand, she is a serious teacher who will challenge you, then on the other hand, she is generous, gregarious, and will continually create space that encourages your growth. We have discussed diverse topics, from family, to culture, history and more. Lastly, in collaboration with a textbook, Edma uses many videos, articles, music, and other medium, which creates this dynamic learning environment. A+ rating.

Edma knows how to individualize the lesson to make it meaningful for her students. She and I were able to talk about many topics, and she found ways to naturally incorporate new vocabulary and language structures into it seamlessly.

Great lesson. Just like speaking with my friend.

I always learn a lot in Profe Edma's class. We have lots of interesting discussions in Spanish, around various themes. I am always given the chance to express my opinion and in this way, learn the vocabulary associated with a variety of topics, as well as idiomatic expressions. I learn a lot each time.

Another great lesson with Profe Edma. We end each class with a clear lesson plan which she weaves into our subsequent class in a way that is very natural in the flow of our conversations. I learn a lot in every class. She is knowledgeable enough that when I have a question unrelated to the topic that was planned, Edma is able to use examples from what we were discussing to provide clear explanations. Since the explanations are occurring in the context of natural speech and natural scenarios, I understand, and more importantly remember her explanations without having to struggle to learn rules in isolation or as something separate from conversation.
