My passion for helping and educating others began at a very young age. It has always been rewarding and fulfilling to help others achieve their goals.

I am a 53 year old South African woman who is bilingual in IsiZulu and English. Spanish is a new language for me, however, Sally and tutor Alberto's passion for the language, and love for teaching, makes me look forward to my one-on-one online lessons. After learning Spanish greetings and grammar basics, I can now independently construct short sentences, attempt conversations with native speakers, and follow some conversations. I read and attempt to translate notices on the bus, shops, and office buildings. All this happened over a 2-month period. Weekly homework helps with practicing what was learnt in class. Increasing vocabulary outside class is a must, because without it, conversing or following conversations is almost impossible. ¡Muchas Gracias, Sally and Alberto, eres la mejor!

Our son is a HS senior and is taking Spanish for the 3rd year. He is a native Mandarin speaker, so learning Spanish while studying with English as a second language was hard on him. He struggled to speak. She has been able to make Spanish fun for him, to get him speaking, and help him improve his grades. She is also very helpful and responsive, and our son enjoys his lessons.
