Ms. Velazquez is a remarkable teacher. She is attuned to the student, very patient, and she knows how to work with the student's challenges. She finds ways to help the student make sense of the language. She breaks it down and simplifies it. She paces the instruction. On the personal level, she is engaging, warm, "real" and kind. She is much more than a teacher/tutor. An authentically good person.
