Having worked with Gon on a weekly basis (as consistently as my schedule will allow) for a year so far, my Spanish comprehension and oral / written expression has improved significantly.
He tailors the material in degree of difficulty and amount to suit my abilities and needs - classes are always a challenge but never overwhelming. I'm looking forward to continuing to work with him until I'm confidently fluent! Thank you Gon!
