I had my first Spanish lesson with Ryan tonight. He was friendly and respectful of my abilities. He was patient with me and adapted the lesson to meet my need and understanding of the language.

Ryan is a great Spanish tutor - he knows his stuff. He was able to quickly assess my level and develop a lesson plan based on my goals. Highly recommended!

Ryan came to tutor my son as a replacement Spanish tutor. His regular tutor was away during his exam period. Ryan was prompt, arrived before time. My son reports that he learnt a lot more from him than his regular tutor. I would recommend him as a very valuable tutor.

Today we learn the pronunciation of vowels and the alphabet, had a short dialog in asking each other our names and how each other was and saying good day, evening and night. We touched on formal and informal. The lesson was a mix of lecture and lots practice. Ryan was well prepared. I am looking forward to learning more!
