Michael Soto

I took Spanish language lessons with Mike before a trip to Mexico City. Let me just start by saying that learning languages is not something my brain is set up to do; I've always found this extremely difficult and despite many attempts can't seem to retain anything of use. Mike took me at my own speed and created a curriculum that was suited to the conversations I would actually be having while in Mexico. He made engaging lesson plans for each class, and provided a written doc after each verbal session with the topics we covered which I found really helpful. Knowing we had a set phone time was motivating- I don't think I would have progressed without this structure. I worked with Mike for about 6 weeks and always looked forward to our weekly sessions; Mike's humor and obvious intuitive knowledge of conversational Spanish made each meeting feel like I was chatting with a friend. I'd absolutely recommend Mike as a teacher to anyone looking to make real progress with Spanish. Really wonderful teacher. Thanks Mike!

Mike was my Spanish tutor for about two years. I started off with very basic and awkward Spanish speaking skills, but with Mike's help I was able to elevate my Spanish to the point where I was comfortable speaking with just about anyone. I think that's the best one can hope for. Highly recommended!
