Spanish Lessons
Noelle is an absolute gem of a teacher. I am on my third lesson and my expectations have already been exceeded. As a visual learner she has made it so easy to do lessons over zoom by using a textbook. Her lessons are fun and creative and I would highly recommend her for whatever you are trying to accomplish with your Spanish from being conversational to writing and grammar. Best teacher ever!!

Professor Noelle is very patient when teaching beginner students Spanish. She will thoroughly explain the right way to pronounce words and make sure that your grammar is correct. She will be honest and straightforward with you on reaching your Spanish goals! There is always a couple of laughs in our sessions, which help to take the stress away that learning a new language can bring. Her classes are very affordable and she works with your schedule to make sure that you're able to learn and prosper.

FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?I have more than 18 years of experience teaching Spanish, and almost all of them have been from word of mouth. I am very thorough and detailed in my work and I make it fun, interesting, approachable and attainable. This is my Thumbtack fee for students in need due to Covid-19, my regular fee is much higher. This is a good deal for the work I do. If you are not someone facing hardship at this moment and can afford my regular pricing, please let me know, as I also need to be helped, while helping others who really need it.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?If they're in school, I would first talk to them about what their needs are, where do they feel they're lacking a little, and focus on that. For adults students, I have them get a book I like to work with (quite inexpensive), and use my "read, write, hear, speak" method. I make my lessons fun, interesting, cultural, and I leave homework.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?I attended UCLA. I'm a graduate of the Civil, Medical, Criminal and Legal Interpreter and Translator Program -Spanish/English-Spanish/English. I've been teaching and tutoring children from Marlborough, Harvard-Westlake, Buckley, Pali High, Crossroads, Beverly Hills High, Archer, Brentwood and many other very prestigious schools for over 17 years with wonderful results. I've also worked with students and teachers from UCLA, USC, SMC, and other Colleges and Universities. And, I've had the pleasure to work with businessmen/women to improve their grammar, conversation and language skills for their work and for travel to better understand and communicate with co-workers, employees or abroad.
