I have been Lorena's student for about one year now, and can say that I have experienced more significant progress in my understanding and use of Spanish than when I took classes in college. She is a wonderfully compassionate teacher who works with you to progress beyond your current level of language acquisition and any obstacles you have encountered along the way. Her mastery of and interest in linguistics also shows through her ability to explain any doubts or questions I have about Spanish or English. Her classes are incredibly fun and engaging as she uses a mix of various cultural applications, varieties of Spanish, and textbooks to incorporate speaking, listening, reading and writing. I am confident that with her guidance and practice, I will become fluent in Spanish. I can't recommend her enough!
