Positive Feedback

"Raul is an excellent Spanish teacher capable of adapting to the needs of the student, whether the basics for a beginner, or more advanced lessons for those with experience. His style of teaching is relaxed and friendly, yet structured in a manner conducive to understanding practical, usuable Spanish. He was not only my instructor, but became my good friend. I highly recommend learning Spanish from Raul."

“I lived and worked in Managua and took Spanish lessons from Maria Elena and Raul for several months in 2001.
I highly recommend them as teachers. They have very good technique and materials, are intelligent people, and are very pleasant to have as teachers. In fact, I had Spanish lessons from many teachers in Guatemala and El Salvador, and Maria Elena and Raul were the best teachers I had in Central America.”
