Alma is the best Spanish tutor! She creates custom lessons for me so I learn at the optimal pace. Each lesson we review some of the key items from last time, and then she pushes you into new territory. She really puts you on the spot and forces you to get conversationally fluent. She puts a lot of focus on pronunciation, so that as you learn new material you build on a solid dialogue foundation. I highly recommend Alma!

Alma is amazing!! If you are considering a Spanish tutor I would highly recommend Alma and here are a few reasons why: 1) she teaches you to understand the phonics of the language—this is what first piqued my interest when I was originally looking for a tutor—it helps so much with pronunciation as well as reading 2) lessons are personalized to you—I never felt rushed or left behind—Alma really cares about your progress as a student and is super patient if you make a mistake 3) Alma is fun!! I was excited to get started each lesson and felt more confident after the end of each lesson which I think is one of the most important parts of language learning If you are considering a tutor/instructor for you or a loved one, Alma is one of the best. She is extremely professional, yet super warm and inviting. You can tell that she not only enjoys teaching, but excels at it—I can not recommend her enough!!
