Isabel Heredia

I have taken around 100 classes with Isabel, there are a few things that I really like about her classes. 1. Isabel is very good at speaking to you at a level that you find comprehensible. As someone that started at a pretty low level she has always spoken to me with patience and clarity. 2. Isabel is very good at understanding your output. Obviously as learners our speech may have errors, Isabel manages to understand/decipher the point you are trying to make a very high percentage of the time. 3. Isabel has a lot of materials on a lot of different topics. Even after a large number of classes she always has new and interesting materials/videos for me to go through. 4. Isabel has high level of mental stamina. Classes are long and it's hard to stay mentally engaged for up to an hour of time. No matter where we are at in our class she is always giving corrections, asking clarifying questions, and providing useful information. 5. If needed, Isabel has excellent English. Thanks!

I believe that Isabel is one of the best Spanish teachers on italki. She works hard to adapt lessons to your interest and needs. She has a great knowledge of English, and can explain things you might not be understanding in a way that you can understand. She is patient and lets you speak, giving helpful corrections when you need it. She is a kind and pleasant person who is very helpful. If you want to learn Spanish, try a lesson with Isabel, I don’t think you will regret it.

I have been taking classes once a week for the past 8-9 months with Isabel and have been seriously learning Spanish for almost a year now. When I say she is the best I truly mean it. She is always prepared, punctual, patient, resourceful, organized, and is the essence of what a tutor should strive to be. Since I started classes with her my Spanish has improved significantly and quicker than I anticipated. She always corrects me or suggests more natural ways of phrases/sentences/expressions for me and let’s me finish my thoughts/sentences before correcting me which I appreciate. She always gives me opportunities to speak. Our classes are informative, interesting, and most importantly fun. If I have a question or need help understanding a concept (grammar, vocabulary, conjugations) she provides me with clarity. I will continue to book with her and hope to reach an advanced level with her.

I had a travel delay so was only able to speak w/ teacher for a few minutes but she was very nice & offered to send me some homework to practice

Isabel is an incredible Spanish teacher! Her patience and encouragement create a stress-free environment that makes learning so enjoyable. She has an amazing ability to correct mistakes in real-time while suggesting more natural, native ways to express ideas. Isabel goes above and beyond by providing tailored materials and lessons to target weak areas, ensuring consistent progress. She’s knowledgeable and approachable, making every lesson engaging and effective. I couldn’t ask for a better teacher—highly recommend!

I never knew that I could retell a whole movie (in very flawed spanish) but Isabel has an amazing ability to get you to overcome insecurities and flaws to produce and try your best.
