Rose

John S. from Ozona, FL

My wife and I are not in the habit of submitting online reviews, but we truly feel moved to comment on Rose. She has proven to be a really great tutor over the past 4 months or so since she started working with us. Not only has Rose been patient, thorough, and accessible, but she has also adapted her material and her style to meet our interests and our needs at our current level. She has quickly helped us develop practical language skills that allow us to communicate in Spanish on everyday interactions while also building a solid foundation for future learning. In short, we are acquiring real-time skills without sacrificing academic integrity, and we are doing so with a supportive and interesting tutor who can share her cultural experiences.

It was a great first lesson. Rose was very good with my daughter Isabel. She made her feel very comfortable trying to learn Spanish. The material we covered was useful. We both look forward to the next session.

We brought Rose in to get our girls (5 and 7) excited about Spanish. She was fantastic! She brought toys and props and worked with them in their own environment to teach them everyday Spanish and get them excited about learning Spanish and playing Spanish games. She even got our dogs involved! The girls responded really well and I would definitely recommend Rose to teach the entire family! She is extremely knowledgeable and really tuned her teaching to our needs.

Rose is a very nice person, but we did not see any measurable improvement despite many sessions. My student said she relies heavily on visiting websites during the sessions and that was not useful for us.

Rose has been working with my daughter for two months now and my daughter and I couldn't be more thrilled. Rose quickly assessed her needs and they worked on building a stronger foundation of grammatical skill sets. My daughter's confidence level increased after every session and the improvement was quickly noticed with her ending semester grade as an "A". Rose is a very dedicated tutor and has command on the English and Spanish languages, as well as her vast knowledge of the culture. She is very encouraging to my daughter, who lacks the confidence to speak Spanish in front of others, but never pressures her. Rose is personable and easy to reach. She responds quickly to emails/text. We appreciate Rose's services and very fortunate to have found her.

Rose has been a great teacher for my kids and me (6 and 9 years old)! She prepares for every lesson, yet is able to redirect the lesson for what will work for our daily language uses (She can also move between dialects easily, so you can choose Spanish from Spain or Latin America). She uses hands on activities and games that keep the kids interested and engaged. She is also great at explaining Spanish conjugation so both kids understand and will explain it differently to each one knowing their understanding of language is different. Rose then takes the time to make sure I understand so we can continue speaking at home. We have been really happy with her and I would recommend her to anyone looking to learn the Spanish language!

Dona Rosa is a perfect tutor to our children. Dona Rosa is innovative and engaging during our children's "lessons". My 4 yr old daughter asks about Dona Rosa all week in anticipation of their time together. Dona Rosa seamlessly incorporates my 18 mo old when he slows down enough to participate.

Johanna M. from Palm Harbor, FL

Rose met with me and we talked about what my needs would be and what I wanted to learn from her. Then we dove right in and began with greetings and initial conversation. She gave me comments on what to work on for improvement for our next session and also knew how to adapt my current level to what she will prepare for next time. Rose was patient and easy to work with, I can't wait for our next session!

David D. from Tampa, FL

I really enjoyed how the lesson was catered almost perfectly to my needs, rather than the 'one size fits all' approach of the traditional classroom. Unfortunately, the combination of travel distance and medical school coming up will prevent me from making this reoccurring, but I learned a bunch in the one meeting we had.

Kirsten H. from New Port Richey, FL

On our first meeting Rose took the time to evaluate my son's strengths and weaknesses and then develop a plan of action. My son looks forward to continuing with Rose and I would highly recommend her as a Spanish tutor.
