COMMENTS FROM PARENTS

"Thank you so much for offering this program.  I can’t believe how much Hutson has learned.  He knows enough that we can have mini-conversations at mealtimes with little translation.  What a rewarding and fun way to teach a skill that is becoming increasingly important to making connections in our world."

"It is great fun and very rewarding to see how much Hannah out has learned this year with your program. We want to make sure that you know how much she enjoys your program and how much she (and we too) would like to see  these classes continue the next school year. Thanks in particular for offering such a wonderful program."

"Mrs. Julia inspires my twins who have no Spanish spoken in their day-to-day word by her enthusiastic teaching style.  My kids love her and know what to expect in her classes.   The “Kareoke” idea to get the kids to sing to the parents was a fabulous idea.  Only through the songbooks in English and Spanish while the kids sang did I finally start learning the vocabulary words too!  Your language teaching method of concentric practice on vocabulary with sight, sound, and writing is terrific."

"My daughter as well as our whole family have been extremely happy with your teaching style.  The workbooks were helpful and offered a nice variety of activity types.  I am thrilled that my daughter is enjoying this class so much.  She often hums or sings a tune, just by herself, and we frequently go back to play songs covered earlier.  Thank you!"

WHAT DO STUDENTS SAY?

"Thank you so much for teaching me the beautiful language of Mexico, Spain, and South America.  If it wasn’t for you, I wouldn’t be having conversations with my mom and aunt.  You taught me so much!  I can now eavesdrop on my mom’s conversations and I don’t know if you realize that you are the one to thank when I get a job because being able to speak Spanish is a gift to me and all American employers. Thank you very much."
Carmel del Mar School, San Diego

"I wanted to thank you for doing the adult Spanish class.  Jill and I were running this morning and were talking about how we enjoy your Spanish class.  We think that the way you teach your classes, your patience, and your enthusiasm really show a passion for what you do.  We all love learning, but as adults we have such busy schedules.  With minimal studying, we have all learned so much in a short time.  So, you are clearly doing something right."

"I have enjoyed studying with Julia, both in private lessons and in her adult Spanish class. The lessons are well-planned, the homework applicable, and each week incorporates previous material effectively. Currently I'm spending a second season cruising in Mexico. I am amazed at how far have come in the last year. My pronunciation is understandable and I'm able to communicate far better than I expected. Julia has made me conversational quickly and I thoroughly enjoyed her style of teaching.  Thank you."
