I wanted to be able to understand and speak to my husband's family in Spain and was trying everything to level up my Spanish. I spent tons of money on apps, online courses and even classroom courses. Nothing really worked. I could understand more words and general context in conversations but still couldn't speak.

Once I started classes with Marlin, everything changed. She recognized right away where my individual problems were and focused where I needed help. I had tried every app, online course, and even in-person classroom training with little progress. These classes were a game changer for me. I'm at an intermediate level now. I can understand and speak so much better and my confidence has grown exponentially.

I have had personal classes from both Mady and Marlin and can tell you how patient and knowledgeable they both are. They have a solid method to progress your Spanish but customize it based on your level and where you are having problems. I highly recommend these classes!

I had the pleasure of being Marlin's student from June-August in 2014. She was an amazing teacher--patient, kind, intelligent, good at adjusting her techniques to fit the student's needs, and all around a delight to work with. Marlin has a wonderful sense of humor that helps put the student feel at ease and makes learning Spanish fun. Knowing no Spanish when I arrived, I left my three months of working with her with the ability to speak conversational Spanish, which I carried into subsequent work when I returned to the United States. I cried the day we had to say goodbye because not only had she become a beloved teacher, but she had also become a beloved friend. I would highly recommend Marlin to any student who is wishing to learn Spanish. You will be in good hands. Abrazos Marlin!

Friendly and patient teacher!

I was lucky enough to find Marlin as my teacher more then 5 years ago.

When I started I didn’t know any Spanish but was able to progress fairly quickly with her patience and well organized lessons.

My schedule changes every week so her flexibility allows me to schedule lessons as needed.

I would definitely recommend Marlin if you are looking to learn Spanish or to take your learning to the next level.

Thank you for being so patient , understanding , friendly and overall great teacher.

I recently started learning Spanish, and I had the good fortune to find Mady, who is the most amazing tutor. Words cannot explain how appreciative I am of the great tutoring experience I've had. I heartily endorse her services to anyone wishing to become fluent in Spanish or would like a refresher for Spanish you've already learned.

One of the things about Mady that I value the most is her capacity to design a personalized study schedule that supports my unique objectives and learning preferences. I was able to practice and develop my abilities in a variety of ways since she expertly blended a wide range of educational resources, including interactive exercises, real-life Spanish texts, videos, and audio recordings. This engaging method not only made learning fun but also dramatically improved my comprehension and fluency.

Last but not least, I can't ignore the friendliness and approachability Mady radiates during our lessons. I feel at ease making mistakes and taking chances in my language development as she has established a safe and nurturing environment for learning.
