New York City Spanish

Andrea is simply fantastic. She customizes each class to your particular needs, concentrating on conversation. In the relaxed atmosphere of her apartment, the lessons are not only pleasant but also great fun. Having made a number of unsuccessful attempts Over the years to learn Spanish in a more structured setting, I was extremely fortunate to find Andrea and am finally making really good progress.
Andrea is a wonderful person and an enormously effective teacher. You will learn to speak Spanish for sure.

Andrea is a terrific teacher. She has helped me become a far more confident Spanish speaker and listener. She has a great sense of what her students need to learn and she tailors her classes accordingly. Her classes were a pleasure, and if I could keep seeing her once a week forever, I would!

She is really good.

I've been a student of Andrea's at NYC Espanol for ~6 months now, and I couldn't be happier. Andrea is a phenomenal and flexible Spanish instructor. She truly tailors the class to your individual ability. Ultimately my Spanish proficiency has increased tremendously since I've been a student of hers. I'm much comfortable with speaking and tackling tenses I never learned in over 4+ years of studying in highschool and speaking in college.

What I find outstanding about her and her teaching:

1. Individual attention - Andrea is great at assessing your strengths and weaknesses, and coming up with personalized instruction that pushes you to improve where your language weaknesses are, and she encourages you to speak every class.

2. Availability and flexibility - Andrea is also very flexible depending on your schedule. She's able to come to your workplace, or teach you at her home. She's able to work around your schedule and provide a regular cadence to meet.

3. Knowledge - Andrea is extremely knowledgable about various dialects and various Latino cultures around the world, she's able to customize based on what you'd like to learn, or provide you with an international Spanish language experience.

I couldn't recommend Andrea more for private Spanish language lessons!

Andrea is a great teacher of Spanish and I am so lucky to have found her (on Yelp!) I came to her as a total beginner only two months ago and she has really helped me make great progress with her native language in two meetings per week. I already feel that I can communicate much better with my husband's family and friends when they come here or when we are on trips abroad. Not to mention that my husband himself is very impressed with all my progress after each lesson with Andrea.

She is one of those rare teachers who is able to assess the student's level and pace quickly and adjust that pace to accommodate areas that are a personal struggle or where the material might be a bit easier. She is always very prepared with each day's lesson but also more than happy to sidetrack to drill some points of confusion from homework or a topic that I would like to cover.

She has a great personal style of being able to explain the grammar in good order and clearly, without being too overwhelming. She also shows a lot of empathy for the student and is super encouraging with many kind words of positive reinforcement even when I feel like I am being dense or struggling to find the words. In sum, she has a really good personal touch that differentiates the great teachers from the good. I signed up for 20 lessons and plan to stick with her until I am fluent ....and beyond!

Andrea C is a talented and thorough teacher. She brings a terrific blend of attention and positive energy to each lesson. Andrea has a thorough knowledge of grammar, syntax, and overall language structure that she shares with the student in a way that is accessible and concise. Most important, the student really learns with each session. Andrea guides the student to an understanding of Spanish that is concrete and useful, making actual communication with others in real life situations possible and enjoyable.

If you want to become fluent in Spanish, look no further. Profesora Andrea has a natural gift for teaching you how to think in Spanish, which rapidly develops your ability and desire to speak. She is well-versed in grammatical knowledge in both English and Spanish. She explains everything in a clear and simple manner. Profesora Andrea is warm, patient and very flexible with scheduling and payments. She offers excellent resources and tools to guide you through your journey in becoming a Spanish speaker. I am highly confident that you will acquire the skills necessary to conversing in Spanish in a short time as I have in just 8 months of taking classes with her.
