Carolina Hernandez

I feel so fortunate to have found Carolina. She is the best! Works with me at my level towards my goals. She uses really good materials that are very helpful. I am always happy to have had a lesson with Carolina. Siempre cinco Estrellas!

Outstanding. I chose Carolina because of how clearly she spoke in her video, making it easy for me to understand her. I also was impressed that she is a journalist. I could tell that she was a nice person. She was very helpful and knowledgeable in our first lesson. I'm going begin regular lessons with her immediately.

Had transmission problems, no fault of Carolina's.

I often say similar things about my lessons with Carolina, because they're consistently true. She works me hard. I feel like my brain is getting a workout. We pick difficult material and it's slow going, but I'm learning steadily. I'm learning about the legal system in Colombia and the standards of evidence, and I'm not involved in police or legal work--these are simply topics that have caught my interest in looking at other aspects of Colombian social life. Wherever you are in your studies of Spanish, Carolina can take you higher, at whatever pace you're ready for.

I've been celebrating lately because after 14 months of reading a series of 90 readings, I am now reading a book based on a PhD thesis, with relative ease. Also I just recorded my first Youtube episode. On the other side of the coin, I've been struggling to understand movie dialog for more than 3 years, and our lesson tonight was a shock. I'm at C1 or C2 level in several aspects of Spanish, but am only at A1 level with dialog. No wonder I haven't been able to understand movies so far! But true to form, Carolina had a series of 30 activities at hand specifically designed to help students with comprehension of dialog. We had our first session tonight.

We did it! Today we completed the last in a series of 90 readings with comprehension questions, which took 14 months. Now I'm reading a PhD thesis in Spanish, even though I was still wondering a few weeks ago whether I was ever going to be able to develop this aptitude. Carolina has such vision, and such persistence, that I believe we can get through anything. Carolina, my gratitude to you is very deep, because you are changing my life.
