Five stars for Coach Paula I have been taking Spanish lessons with Spanish55 since 2021. I have been with my coach, Paula, since December 2021. I believe her teaching and understanding is why I have continued to pursue my goal of learning to speak Spanish. Coach Paula is able to see where I am struggling and supplement additional work to help me fully understand, as needed. She is encouraging when I become frustrated, celebrates small and big victories with me, is understanding when I become overwhelmed and truly cares about my learning experience. I think Coach Paula may know me better than I know myself! I am proud of how far I have come, but it wouldn't be possible without Coach Paula. I found Spanish55 after an internet search. I was happy to find one on one learning that had a flexible schedule and fit within my budget. I took 3 years of Spanish in high school, but none of it stuck, so I started with the very basics again. I have learned so much! All of my friends have used other modalities to learn, and they have noted how I have exceeded their learning progress, which is due to the personalizations my coach has implemented into my learning.

Learning Spanish with Coach Oscar is fun and motivating! Spanish was my second foreign language I learned during college, and my level was between beginner and intermediate. I always want to continuously improve it to the next level. I had tried learning by myself or language exchange with other Spanish-speaking friends. It helped a bit but couldn't go on consistently. Finally, I decided to try tutoring with Spanish 55 and I have been working with Coach Oscar over the last 5 months. Since I like Latino music, Coach Oscar would recommend some of his favorite singers or groups. And during our session, we'd go through some of the music lyrics and this helped me better understand the music, improve my Spanish, and also have an culture exchange. I am about to finish my first book, and I have already gotten my second book for the class and look forward to learn more with Coach Oscar.

I was very anxious about learning Spanish I was very anxious about this process, and my instructor Jessica has done a great job of setting my mind at ease. The structure has been excellent and helps me understand why things are structured the way they grammatically.

My coach My coach, Flor, is outstanding! Flor works with me to plan my sessions so that they lead to effective learning and advancement on my part. Flor is always upbeat and encouraging; her positive attitude and wonderful sense of humor motivate me to continue on my Spanish learning journey.

I have been trying to learn Spanish… I have been trying to learn Spanish on-line for 4 years, but not until I started working with Coach Marisela did I see any improvement. She is very patient, and always takes the time to answer my questions. I have become much more confidence in speaking Spanish when I travel to Spanish speaking countries. Jane Langenfeld
