I spent a week at the school studying Spanish, a 4 hour class every day. The lessons were a blend of grammar instruction and conversation practice. My teacher Yanira tailored the lessons to match my level of understanding. It was not overly difficult but yet I found it challenging enough that the four hours flew by quickly each day. By the end of the week, I felt much more confident speaking the language.
Before arriving in Estelí, I had taken 8 months of on-line lessons via Skype with this school. It was a delight to finally meet my on-line teachers Yorleni and Alejandro face to face. All of the workers here are very pleasant people and they make you feel right at home.
The school facilities were bigger than I had envisioned. The classrooms upstairs are large, well lit with windows, and had a nice breeze. There is a pleasant courtyard in the center below and also a comfortable waiting area in the lobby where I waited for my ride to pick me up after the lessons were over.
I highly recommend this school and the great instructors there for anyone wanting to improve their Spanish.

- Juana was excellent. She engaged me with different thoughts and conversation at every point within the session. She went over the conjugation of verb tenses with me and had me construct sentences while correcting me throughout. I thought the session was very beneficial and would highly recommend.

- Me gusta nuestras conversaciones, Juana! Aprendo mucho de temas profundos y difíciles. En esta sesión, hablamos de comida, trabajo, y la vida (especialmente de la infancia y la edad adulta). Gracias por hacerme usar el tiempo pretérito más y más. Será maestro de pretérito algún día. Espero que continuemos tener buenas sesiones así.

- I wanted an informal lesson. Juana is great and has a great sense of humor- and my girlfriend and I look forward to doing more lessons with her!

- I spoke about two poets that Juana had me read about and sample their poetry. Her creative assignments have pushed me to apply myself in learning more Spanish. I feel that she has me motivated in studying more. Our conversations continue to be very good.

- Disfruté de nuestra sesión! Hablamos de temas muy complicados... pero pienso que aprendí mucho. Fue una conversación profunda no justo sobre las cosas regulares de la semana. Gracias por la conversación... Se me ayudó pensar en otras maneras.

- Juana was an excellent tutor for me. She was friendly and encouraging and she speaks clearly and distinctly. As this was our first session we talked a little about ourselves and where we live. I wanted to tell her about a history book I am reading that uses legal terminology and she was very helpful about teaching me how to say these terms in Spanish. She corrected my mistakes in a straightforward, clear manner, which is exactly what I wanted. I look forward to more tutoring sessions with Juana.

- "Excellent session. Juana corrected my writing and sentences that I wrote with preterite and imperfect tenses. Our conversations are really good. She is challenging me to understand conversational Spanish and this is really what I need to work on. This is critical for my improvement in Spanish. I give Juana an A+ for her teaching abilities and kindness."
