Paula C.

Another awesome week of lessons with Paula and excited about the next month of sessions. Today, Paula and I developed a plan that will enhance my current Spanish level, with the hopes of adding tools to master the subjunctive. I'm extremely grateful to Paula for tireless efforts and motivation to get to the next level. She always finds unique ways to further push the boundaries in my development and with the teaching profession. It is rare that you find someone like Paula who geniunely believes in her students and consistently wants the best for them. I truly believe that she would do this for free as it is a true passion for her. Paula - Thanks for all the hard work that you have put into this impossible project with me, but everyday I feel a little closer to my goal.

I've been learning Spanish with her for several months. I normally don't write reviews, but I'm doing this because she is exceptionally great and this is the minimum I can do to thank her. She keeps her classes professional and disciplined, which I find very important as a student. The class is consistent and we follow the class structure that we agreed upon. She's always on time. I've taken her conversation, grammar and writing class. I enjoyed all of them. At conversation classes, she brings up interesting/controversial topics to talk about and we share opinions which makes the class more engaging. At grammar classes, we learn each topic and practice until I make less and less mistakes, so you can master each grammar topic. At writing classes, she gives interesting topic to write about and I get to discover my writing mistakes very visibly, as she corrects my own writing. All in all, I cannot recommend Paula's class enough to all levels of students. (Thank you Paula!)

Paula asks thoughtful and engaging questions and she encourages me to test the limits of my Spanish. She attentively notes my deficits and attempts to fill these gaps with further questions and exercises. Looking forward to my next session! Paula me hace preguntas profundas, consideradas y pensativas que me hacen utilizar y explorar las capacidades de mi castellano. Opino que es una maestra sincera, amable y preparada y tengo muchas ganas de aprender mucho mas en las siguientes clases. Gracias, Paula!

This is my class for "just conversation," but really it's also a great place to indulge my interest in Latin American politics. Great far-ranging discussions. Also clear feedback when needed. Already setting up next class(es)

Patient, thoughtful, useful feedback. Some teachers, when doing conversation sessions, are kinda slow or awkward at maintaining/initiating a discussion. For students with poor social skills like me, this can be the hardest part of Spanish lessons! Paula is excellent at eliciting a wide-ranging exchange, much appreciated!

first class, she was really quick to propose a structure going forward, was great to have a conversation with, constructive feedback, she was great at prompting me to make my own corrections, smooth conversation!
