Testimonials

"Michell is a perfect fit for me as a teacher. I told her my biggest concern was conversational Spanish, and she started introducing audio components that have strengthened my ability to understand my neighbors in casual meetings on the street, something that just went over my head before! I love that each lesson is made to order for where I’m at, not coming from a preset program. I can’t recommend her enough!"

“I loved my lessons with Ariana. She is a skilled, patient and kind teacher. Not only did my Spanish improve, but our conversations opened new windows into Mexican culture and deepened my understanding of life and customs in this wonderful country. I highly recommend her to older as well as to younger students.”

"Michell (Ariana) is a wonderful teacher. I started taking private lessons with her after taking group lessons at a school for a year. I feel I am making faster progress in Spanish in the two months I have been with her. Michelle really puts forth lots of effort to make the lessons appropriate yet challenging enough to help you learn Spanish. I really appreciate her taking the time to ask questions she knows you are interested in and then you have to answer in Spanish. It forces me to speak -which for me is the hardest part! She really cares about her students and does her homework preparing tailored lessons for each student. I would totally recommend her!"

"Ariana 'Michell' is an excellent teacher of the Spanish Language for those of us whose mother tongue is English. She has a very good command of English and of the subtleties of both languages… Her homework assignments are well thought out and really do focus on reinforcing the key points discussed during class. She is very bright and a true pleasure to work with. I would highly recommend her to anyone interested in learning the Spanish language."

"I’ve taken Spanish classes for many years, and Michelle is one of the best instructors. She starts with an assessment, creates a plan, and provides well thought out exercises for practice. Michell takes daily notes and comes well prepared for classes. Aside from being a skilled teacher, she is kind, flexible, and very dedicated to her work. I highly recommend her!"

"When I arrived in Mexico, I attended a local language school for 3+ months, however, I was routinely feeling like the classes were either too basic or advanced beyond my skills. Through a friend I was introduced to Michell and I finally feel like I’m learning Spanish at a pace that works for me. She assessed my proficiency level via a video interview before our classes began. She quickly identified what I had already mastered and where we needed to start. Michell’s approach is positive, engaging and fun. She uses a variety of tools to present information, including games and interactive videos. I strongly recommend Michell for a personally structured learning experience."

I have been taking Spanish lessons from Michelle Ramos and have found her to be an excellent teacher. She teaches to your level while also pushing you to a higher level. She made the lessons very clear and easy to understand. The best teacher I’ve ever had.

After spending five months working with Michele on my Spanish, I feel lucky to have found her because she is so good at her job. Michele always came to our meetings well-prepared with a personalized lesson tailored to what I wanted to work on. She is very professional, extremely patient and encouraging, and also very warm and fun to work with. Her homework assignments were thoughtfully selected to best reinforce the lessons. I liked that she used a variety of teaching methods and tools to help me get the most out of our time. I have and will continue to recommend her to others!
