Mechi is both an incredible teacher and an incredible spirit. My sons (13 & 11) and I studied Spanish with her for 10 hours and there was never a dull moment. Her style, materials, and energy, made it easy for us to take time away from the beach and embrace learning a new language and hearing about Dominican culture. We had a blast, learned a ton (my boys felt they learned more Spanish in 5 days than they have learned of French in 5 years at school), and appreciated the passion Mechi brought to her values and ideas. We learned much beyond Spanish. Thank you Mechi!

Marianne is a fantastic Spanish teacher! I get really nervous and embarrassed when speaking a second language but Marianne made me feel comfortable and relaxed. She tailors lessons exactly to your needs and is the best Spanish teacher I've ever had! Would highly recommend to anyone, from beginners to advanced. Thank you Marianne!

I can't believe I didn't do this before! Mechi is an amazing teacher. She taught me remotely and was casual but firm and it stuck enough that I understood the old lady on my block talking to me about how my baby needed a hat on a 80 degree day. Thank you, Mechi!

I took a 5-day course with Mechi last winter and really enjoyed the class. Before beginning class, Mechi sent a placement test to assess my level and design the lessons accordingly. Each class was a lot of fun – Mechi always came very well prepared, and always brought a lot of energy and a fun spirit to the classes. I would highly recommend the course for anyone looking to refresh or advance their Spanish skills.

Mechi is an incredibly knowledgeable, animated, well organized, articulate and remarkably dynamic instructor. She is able to break down difficult concepts into digestible and interesting lessons, adapted specifically to your particular interests and needs. I feel incredibly lucky to have found not only an incredible resource for learning Spanish, but also a fantastic mentor who exemplifies incredible care, dedication and passion in her work. Needless to say, I highly recommend working with her!
