Here’s what my students have to say:
«I knew almost no Spanish when I started taking classes with Lucía. She is so wonderful and her class is so enjoyable that I have continued taking lessons with her twice a week for three years! Lucia tailors my classes to my needs and life and is funny and incredibly helpful. She is patient and creates a safe space to learn. I recommend her to any of my friends (and even strangers!) who are interested in learning Spanish. I’ve learned so much from my time with Lucía and I am so grateful for all that she has taught me. If you’re on the fence about learning Spanish, do it! Classes with Lucia are the absolute best. »

«Lucía Ortega is a fantastic teacher! I have had face-to-face classes with her in Costa Rica and subsequently, classes over the internet. Lucía has long years of teaching experience with younger and older students. She is very professional and flexible. Her classes are always well-prepared and individualised. Her resource materials for grammar and vocabulary are very good and diversified, so I have steadily advanced without ever getting tired or bored. Lucía is also very friendly, extremelly cultured, well-travelled and well-informed about the world, so our conversations are always very interesting, inspiring and fun. In fact, Lucía Ortega is without any doubt the best foreign language teacher that I have every had!.»

«Lucía is an exceptional teacher. In the past three years, she has helped me enormously in learning Spanish. She is very intelligent, clear, and skilled in language instruction. Lucía always has been understanding and encouraging, and her support and wonderful humor has made learning a language fun and much easier than in high school and college. I appreciate her offer to answer questions that I email to her. Lucía always responds quickly, at times with attached helpful articles that supplement her own lucid responses.»

«I have been studying Spanish since January 2017. However, in September 2018 I realized that I needed to switch instructors because my learning was stagnated. I needed a new way to learn so I selected Lucía. Since then, Lucía has helped me break through my learning barriers by focusing on areas that needed the most atention at, specially my pronunciation. Her classes employ a lot of conversation, which I find enjoyable. She is adept at identifying deficiencies in my writting, speaking, and comprehension without making a big deal about it. And when one of these development areas is identified, she will quickly find online exercises for us to collectively work on during class. Her patience, focus, and determination in helping me improve my Spanish are commendable. I highly recommend Lucía as a Spanish language teacher.»
