Luz is a wonderful Spanish tutor! I am a complete beginner, and she makes learning Spanish feel comfortable and approachable. She is always prepared with a lesson for our virtual sessions, but is also flexible when I have questions that take us in a different direction. She is kind, patient, and accommodating with my schedule. I’ve already learned so much and really enjoy our lessons. I would definitely recommend Luz!

Luz is a wonderful teacher. She adapts to the needs of her students. She is patient. Her teaching method is very effective for me.
I had learned some Spanish a while ago and need to rebuild my skills for an upcoming project in Mexico. She has helped me get back up to speed as well as teach me new concepts.
Sometimes my granddaughter will sit in on the lesson and she and luz interact to give my granddaughter an appreciation for a new language.
I also like that luz offers group discussions with other Spanish learners so that we can practice speaking. Luz has various groups depending on your skill level.

I have been taking lessons with Luz for about 6 weeks. She is a very good Spanish instructor. I especially like the way that she uses a variety of teaching methods stressing reading, conversation, grammar, and vocabulary. She also includes increasing our knowledge of geography and culture of Mexico. I highly recommend her.

Luz is a wonderful teacher, and I would very much recommend her. She is patient, helpful, and instructive, and is helping me to dust off a lot of my Spanish skills from college. I do get a lot out of the sessions, and plan on continuing with her throughout my Spanish education. Thanks, Luz.

FAQs
How did you get started doing this type of work?
My passion is teaching and teaching Spanish, my native language, is the best thing I have done in my professional life. Since a little girl I used to study for my exams, pretending being a teacher to my dolls. So after graduating as an accountant I came back to the school to get a teacher’s certificate for a second language in 2010 and since then I have enjoyed my profession.
Describe a recent project you are fond of. How long did it take?
I really love a group that I have had for more than two years. It’s a group of three students. The amazing thing about this group is the enthusiasm they have for the class. Their age range goes from 74 to 96 years old
What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?
When you want to learn Spanish the two best things to consider are: an experienced and a native Spanish speaker teacher
