"Well managed process and a really excellent teacher"

William Edward Pence IV, student from USA

The process for setting up a series of private lessons was very smooth. Kristele did a great job listening to what I needed and creating a custom program. In Burgos, Pilar was excellent, and went beyond the basic requirements. She read and corrected my blog, attended a concert and spoke to my daughter in Spanish, and tailored her lessons to my greatest weaknesses. She was able to secure a great space for our lessons and made every day enjoyable, my Spanish improved a great deal thanks to her effort. I really have nothing negative to say about my experience. I wouldn’t change anything.
