Rachel is an incredible Spanish tutor! She is extremely knowledgeable, patient, and thorough. Learning a foreign language as an adult is difficult, but Rachel always finds innovative, effective ways to help me learn. In only a few lessons with Rachel, I could already notice improvement in my Spanish! Gracias a Rachel, estoy aprendiendo más y más cada semana.
