When I first moved to Mexico on high recommendation, I took Spanish lessons with Emmanuel.
I chose private lessons as I was a complete beginner and wasn’t confident.
Straight away I was put at ease and the sessions were friendly, encouraging, empowering, and fun.
Both my grasp of the language and confidence to use it came quickly under his tutorial.
What a great sense of accomplishment to realise I’d just spent an hour speaking nothing but a new language!
I think when learning a language, having a supportive, kind, and patient teacher makes all the difference.
He’d send me back with coursework, and between that and our in-person lessons, I was soon grasping Spanish with enough confidence to use in daily interactions in ‘real life’. For any refreshers or to move up a level, he would be my ‘go-to’ teacher.
