Native Spanish Speaker | Certified Spanish Teacher Offering Personalized, Communicative Lessons for Real-Life Confidence.

The most important element of Sandra's approach is her innate ability to make her students feel at ease while they speak. Because of this specific trait, I am speaking with much more confidence -- her corrections are clear, her follow up questions are natural and engaging, and her positive reactions keep me talking.

She is also a professional with her zoom abilities -- new windows appear quickly, and spontaneous examples from the internet are timely.

Sandra is a fantastic teacher. She's really skilled and creative at using learning tools to help with building language skills. She makes sure theres a lot of listening, speaking, and grammar practice in every lesson. I couldn't imagine a better teacher for learning Spanish!

I have been having Spanish lessons with Sandra for two months now and I have learned so much. When I started with her, I had an 1800 day streak on a popular language learning app but couldn't make conversation in the real world. With her lessons, I have both gained solid understanding of some subtle foundational grammar and I have engaged in relevant and interesting conversation. I appreciate how she tailors the lessons to be relevant to the interests of individual students. These lessons are just what I need to make the leap to actually interacting and conversing in Spanish.

Sandra is amazing!! Her lessons are very thoughtful and catered to what I need. I'm so grateful to be taking classes from her, I can't recommend her enough!

I was referred to her by a friend. I have never met an instructor so patient, so capable, and so involved with her students like this one! Not only does she provide quality instructions, but she also accommodates everyone based on where they are in the Spanish language. Love and will keep on going!

I cannot recommend Sandra enough to anyone trying to learn Spanish! I have taken her classes for a few months, and not only have I noticed a huge difference in my ability but also, I am more excited and motivated to learn. Her classes are fun and engaging. Every class we practice speaking, reading and writing. Sandra makes classes fun and I enjoy the activities and also learning about Spanish culture and history.

Sandra is a great teacher who makes learning feel easy and comfortable. She’s patient, explains things in a way that just makes sense, and always adapts her lessons to what students actually need. You feel supported and confident learning with her, and I’d definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a relaxed and trustworthy teacher.

Sandra & I met at the Interpretation Department at the University of Utah Hospital. I was “ shadowing” her clinical visits & we became friends.

1) Sandra has excellent computer skills for online teaching. ( a necessary prerequisite)
2) She is puntual & always prepared with interesting lessons. She often matches content to student experience. ie knowing I had been to Chile, Sandra gave a cultural lesson on Chile.
3) Sandra has a deep knowledge of Spanish grammar. If a student has a question without an obvious answer, she will investigate & return with an explanation. ie. as in the case of the the pronoun “lo” in “lo pasamos bien.”
4) Finally, Sandra is an excellent conversation facilitator. She allows & creates a safe, positive environment for all her students.
La recomiendo ciento por ciento!

I can feel Sandra's dedication to me and I know she truly wants me to learn. I enjoy Sandra's process and structure of classes. Learning Spanish is intertwined with culture, events, history and people in Latin America. Her classes are a true experience that I look forward to every day. Enjoy and Learn!
