I started taking lessons with Karen at the start of this year and I couldn’t be happier with her being my tutor. She is super attentive to my level and needs. If she sees i’m struggling with a subject, the next lesson she’ll have such a fun class prepared to help me understand it all. She goes above and beyond to by answering questions off the clock so to speak. I also like the fact she really pushes me and you can tell she truly wants to her students to succeed. After every lesson Karen also sends a full review of everything we covered in a PDF for you to study after. Las clases de español de Karen son súper divertidas. 🇪🇸🇪🇸

Karen is teaching me Spanish. She is tailoring her instruction to my level and is teaching me in a way that makes me feel relaxed and able to speak a foreign language right from the start. The one-on-one instruction is helping my pronunciation and ability to converse well beyond what I would be a able to do with textbooks or software.

It has always been difficult for me to learn Spanish in a classroom setting, so I opted for a private instructor, and I am very pleased to be working with Karen SIerra. She uses different techniques in her teaching -- reading, speaking, videos, stories, and verb conjugation. It is great that after each class she gives me the materials we used in our session, not as homework, but for me to have and review if I wish. The little Spanish I do know is just a simple, family Spanish as I am a second generation Mexican American who was raised speaking English. My goal is to become conversationally fluent, and with each class, I gain more confidence I am going to be able to do that by working with Karen. We also work together virtually which means I can continue with her when I move or when I am traveling. I highly recommend Karen if you are a beginner, or like me, someone with some knowledge of Spanish who wants to learn more.
