DORA MCCANN
“The most effective ways to learn Spanish are through immersion and one-on-one instruction. Being a busy Washingtonian professional, it is surprising that I was able to achieve just this through my weekly classes with Santiago Montero. Although my lessons are separated only by a window pane from the hustle and bustle of Washington, D. C., I am far removed from my daily routine by the “Spanish-speaking only” tutorial style. Structurally, the classes were tailored to meet my own language goals; and financially, the cost was affordable. Ultimately Santiago’s instruction successfully matched my learning speed and style, giving me the confidence, ease and pride to become a Spanish speaker.”

“After four years of high school Spanish classes and four years of university classes, I have spent the last 20 years not “studying” Spanish, but speaking it, on and off at work at the World Bank in international economic development, around Arlington, and with my kids’ babysitters. Now, I have a chance to swiftly go over all the grammar that has receded to the far corners of my brain, bringing it up and using it in our weekly hour of conversation. Each week I complete a series of homework assignments to reinforce grammar, writing and reading. Santiago has a great personality and a wealth of experience in teaching that he is using to help raise my level of Spanish toward full fluency. I love my Spanish classes with Santiago!”
