Enjoyable lesson with nice tutor

Amalia is helping my 13 year old with his Spanish summer reading (coaching him with his translation mistakes). He said the lesson went by really fast and he wanted to keep going (which is probably the best compliment you can get from someone who doesn’t like school work)!

Knowledgeable and patient

The kids were very quiet but she was super informative and polite and she handled the kids great. We appreciate her knowledge and helping our children. We can’t wait to learn more from her in the next session.
