Student´s reviews

“Florencia  is a fabulous Spanish teacher.  I couldn’t have been happier with her lessons.  My Spanish improved a great deal with her help.  In two months I went from beginner Spanish to advanced Spanish texts. By the end, I couldn't believe how much better my Spanish had become.  Florencia incorporates the politics and culture of Argentina into her Spanish lessons, which I absolutely loved!  Florencia is hard working, organized, very motivated, and great fun to work with. I would definitely recommend her to anyone interested in taking Spanish language 

classes”. Alix Van Sickle, Center for the Study of Democracy, Department of Political Science, University of California, Irvine.USA.

This letter is in regard to the creator of this program, an excellent Spanish translator and teacher. I developed a wonderful relationship with  last Summer during my visit to Argentina. Not only did she help me in my studies, she also gave me some great insight on the country and how I would benefit from becoming bilingual. When I return to Argentina (someday), it would be an honor to get into contact with Florencia once again. I continue to keep in contact with her and encourage others to study with her.Best Wishes to anyone interested in learning the Spanish language. 

Sincerely, Ann-Marie Hershey, California,USA.
