* RESULTS:

I am not a tutor, I'm your ally. From a mom crying on camera looking at his kid reading in Spanish for first time after struggling at school, the student overwhelmed with grammar to the pupil that used to get F's and now gets B's or A's, I am confident I can help and believe me I'm inspired by getting my job well done and by the life changing outcomes that come with this.

*WHAT'S IN FOR YOU:

a) Personalized lesson plan when needed.
b) Schoolwork support and project counseling.
c) Test preparation.
d) General Spanish lessons for improving linguistic skills. (Writing, listening, reading, speaking).
e) Virtual classroom to keep students engaged and learning during the week with dynamic assignments.
f) Recall system for vocabulary.

Dedicated, hardworking, professional and fun

This review is long overdue. Please note that I am writing this review mainly from a parent perspective: Gustavo has been working with my daughter for months now. After my daughter expressed an interest in learning Spanish we decided to hire a tutor. I was immediately impressed by his lesson plans. It is clear that he devotes time towards sessions both during and outside of our tutoring times. Additionally he’s flexible with our schedule and expectations. Now that the school year has begun, we’ve asked him to scale down on the work-load - No problem! We love that he’s reasonably priced and that he’s passionate about teaching. As for the actual sessions, we’ll no complaints from my daughter, she loves them. She’s eager to log on and when asked, “ how was class?” Response: “It was great, today we….”. Book Gustavo today, you will NOT be disappointed!

It makes me very happy to see how her fruitful work is paying off.

Wonderful first lesson

Gustavo took time to get to know my son, where he is at, and what his goals are. I look forward to seeing the progress that my son will make this year with weekly Spanish lessons.

He makes tutoring Spanish fun for my child at the point he has become eager to become strong and fluent as much as he can. This is my 2nd child Gustavo has tutored for. We appreciate Gustavo, he really teaches not just tutor.

Knowledgeable and helpful

Gustavo helped me complete my Spanish homework effectively and it was a lot easier to do on my own after my class. He also helped me understand certain concepts.

My first session!

My first session was great! I had several “AH-HA” moments! I’m looking forward to continuing! He was very patient in helping me get everything set up so he can monitor my progress!

Hello Taylor, I am happy to hear this positive news. I hope you will be able to return to your regular classes soon.

Excellent tutor

So far, Gustavo has helped my son progress in Spanish immensely. Before the classes my son did not want anything to do with Spanish, but since starting class with Gustavo, I’ve noticed that my son has taken a lot more interest in learning the language! Gustavo always comes prepared with his lessons and takes his time to make sure my son understands what is being taught, I am looking forward to more lessons with Gustavo.

Hello Cynthia, I am very, very excited to hear these positive news. I will do all what it is on my hands to encourage him to learn the language and to assist him on this journey. Thank you for sharing your thoughts.

Knowledgable and prepared tutor

My 11 year old nephew who is a beginner in Spanish enjoyed his lesson with Gustavo. Gustavo had a detailed lesson plan and was patient despite some technical difficulties on our part. My nephew is excited to continue to improve his language abilities under Gustavo’s tutelage.
