In our first lesson, I'm already learning how to have a basic conversation in Spanish. I really like the way Melisa teaches me by seeing and doing. I like the fact she has an agenda for what she wants to teach me and She seems very dedicated to helping me accomplish my goals with learning Spanish. Can't wait for our next lesson.

Melisa worked with our daughter for 1 hour and our daughter really liked the session. We will be working with her weekly.
Monica M. from Encino, CA
Melisa really helped my daughter with elementary Spanish - so much so that in class she felt more confident to speak in class!

Melisa was fully prepared for our hour of yoga. As a complete beginner I was a little nervous but Melisa was an amazing instructor. I'm documenting our experience together for an editorial piece so I'm relieved that I'm in capable and knowledgeable hands.

Melisa teaches me Spanish. She is wonderful at figuring out how I learn and conforming to methods that specifically help me.
Paige F. from Pasadena, CA
My son connected to Melisa's teaching. He is way behind in Spanish and has stayed focused in her lessons. He can't thank her enough when she leaves. He seems relaxed and positive.

We went over basic things but I was surprised I knew a lot more than I thought! Melisa was nice and very helpful! I promise I will practice!
