I am so happy I found Lissette as a Teacher ! I have spent the better part of my life learning Spanish in and out of school and came to her looking for help with my sentence structure, polishing my grammar, as well as help improving my conversational skills.We have been working together for a few of months now and I can already feel my confidence growing and I am finding it easier to both read and speak. She identified my strengths as well as areas that I need improvement, is always encouraging and offers a very flexible schedule that has helped me fit these important lessons into my hectic life. I am working to improve my conversational Spanish for personal and business purposes and I feel confident with her guidance I will reach my goal of becoming more fluent within the year. I cannot recommend her services enough !

Lissette is the most amazing Spanish teacher! I think I've pretty much told everyone that I know about her. She is super flexible working with me because I have two jobs. I was really worried because honestly, I was an average student in school back in the day and I never felt as though I had the capacity to learn a new language as an adult. I came in only knowing a basic greeting or two. Lissette has completely changed that for me! I'm actually learning sentence structure. She also has given me the tools to really begin to have real conversations with people in Spanish which is most important for me! She is kind and so patient with me to make sure I'm truly comprehending what she is teaching me. She's also very affordable. I couldn't have asked for a better teacher! Highly HIGHLY recommend her!

I absolutely love my lessons with Lissette. Lissette's lessons are the best Spanish classes I've ever taken and I have improved so much since starting them. Lissette has an absolutely incredible knowledge of the details of Spanish -- the difference between different types of Spanish spoken, and different forms of slang, as well as even origins of words and phrases. Her interest in and knowledge of Spanish is so inspiring, and has made me excited about Spanish in a way I didn't expect. She is an excellent teacher, and always takes the time to explain my mistakes until I fully understand them. She even helped me develop a system to remember patterns of mistakes in my speech so that I can improve much faster. Lissette is also very willing to follow my interests in Spanish. My lessons feel truly specialized and catered to me and my needs. Finally, Lissette is just a wonderful and incredibly easy person to talk to. Lessons were genuinely fun and I feel like I learned a lot from Lissette as a person as well as from her Spanish. I cannot recommend Lissette enough! Take lessons with her!

1.5 years ago, I was looking for Spanish private instruction and found Lissette on google. I picked her and it was one of the best decision I ever made and I couldn't ask for a better teacher.When I first started, I knew nothing of Spanish except for a few common words "Hola, gracias, etc." I knew it was important for me to have education on proper grammar or else I can see bad habits forming, which happened to my friends. Also, free apps such as Duo Lingo wasn't sticking with me. And if I had only stuck to using free resources, I wouldn't have realize how difficult this language was (the conjugation of verbs for I, you, he/she, them, us, etc, consistency of feminine/masculine, singular/plural). Lissette saved me from learning things the hard way. I was overwhelmed at first and wondered what I gotten myself into and I wanted to choke the person who told me Spanish was easy. However, Lissette had a structured curriculum and a method of teaching that made learning Spanish easy. 4 months in, I remembered a Japanese friend who was also learning Spanish (he was a year more advance than me and learned in a group class). He was eavesdropping in on my skype class and after said "Wow, you are learning some advance stuff." And I replied, "Really? I only been learning for 4 months. How did your teacher teach you?" He explained it to me, which was just learning vocabulary and memorizing. And I replied "Oh no, this is the way I have been learning and by doing it this way, it makes it so much easier and everything comes together quicker." That is when I knew I struck gold and lucked out with Lissette.Later, I got to a point where class was in mostly in Spanish. I would also like to mention that Lissette has the patience of a saint. She said in language development, it is crucial that she serves as the mother to a child who is learning to speak. Suffice to say, there was a lot of repetition. I don't know how she does it, but I would've lost patience on myself.After having class once a week for the past year and a half, I was able to transact with proper grammar and if I were to listen to another non-native person speaking in basic Spanish I could understand and even catch some grammatical errors. I even got compliments from native speakers that my Spanish was good (not good as in high level fluency but good as in proper speaking). I still have a long ways to go to reach a level of fluency where I can stop decrypting in my head going down a mental checklist, but that will come with time and practice. Looking back from the time I first started, my vocabulary has expanded significantly and I now have the necessary tools to put proper sentences together.Lissette has been my trusted guide through this daunting journey and opened me up to a whole new world of the Latin-based language. I highly recommend her, especially if you were a complete beginner like me. Being her student was one of my best investments on self-improvement. And I'm confident she will be a great teacher for you too.

Ive been working with Lissette for almost 2 years. In that time, Ive learned more from her than I did in 7 years of Spanish classes from middle school through college. She has such knowledge and mastery of the Spanish language and its history, shes able to answer all my random questions about the tiniest details. We spend as much time as needed for me to feel comfortable and confident with a chapter before moving on - something you just dont get in a formal classroom setting, or in popular apps. In addition to the textbook, Lissettes drills have been extremely helpful, as she comes up with more complex sentences and examples to work with. My goal is to use Spanish professionally at work and Lissette is able to tailor our lessons to include words and themes related to my work.On top of all that, Lissette is a wonderful, caring person with a bubbly and charming personality. Were always laughing about something! I cannot recommend her enough for people who are serious about learning or improving their Spanish.
