Martha has a wealth of information and a knack of starting new students based on her assessment of their competence in the Spanish language. She is happy to converse in Spanish as much as she thinks a client can handle. She is quick to offer feedback as we converse in Spanish in a constructive way. Her posts to chat assist my remembering the content and most important points we covered in each session. Her wealth of knowledge and teaching habits are conducive to the establishment of long term relationships. She zeroes in on where I am in my competency and follows a path as a result that makes me feel more confident every time we meet. Onwards and upwards is the theme of her interactions ...

Amazing learning experience!

Marta is a wonderful tutor! I met Marta 2 years ago when I was looking for a tutor that would match my learning style. Marta is prompt, prepared and observant. She really understands my strengths and challenges and pivots her lessons to where she feels I would benefit best. She also asks what I’m interested in which makes learning with her enjoyable. I’ve seen much progress in my capacity to speak and understand in 2 years. I connected with a few tutors before I started learning Spanish to find one that would best fit my goals and I’m glad I decided to work with Marta.

I chose Martha specifically because of her South American heritage. I was looking specifically for someone to knew the ins and outs of Argentine Spanish. While working with her, my comprehension and comfort level speaking the language has increased substantially. I always looked forward to our weekly sessions. I only chose to stop sessions because I wanted to move to in-person sessions... unfortunately we are on opposite sides of the country! I would highly recommend Martha to anyone wanting to learn or improve their Spanish.

No-one better than Martha!

I began lessons with Martha almost a year ago. I was planning a trip to Uruguay and considering moving there. What started as learning important language for a visit has evolved into the highlight of my week! I had great enthusiasm but little confidence in my ability to use the language. Martha has developed lessons that match my ability but challenge me to be brave and use my Spanish to tell stories about my activities, my life, my dreams, my work, my family, and my experiences. With gentle modeling and encouragement, Martha carefully navigates my program plan with professionalism and a skill set evident of extensive teaching experience. I am so grateful that I found her!

Great help preparing for time abroad

I found Martha online through LanguageTutors as I needed help before going on a year abroad for my third year of University in Spain. She was really helpful in catering to the areas I needed to improve, and it was a great way to keep up my conversation skills (as well as grammar!) before I moved to Spain in the fall. Highly recommend her!

I worked with Martha for several months. She tailored our lessons to work on areas of weakness and, as a trip to Peru approached, to anticipate language needs while travelling. She was always punctual, engaged and thoughtful. It was a pleasure being tutored by her.

Useful and enjoyable Spanish

I was willing to take an intense private Spanish class before my long trip to Latin America in order to feel confident and be able to communicate. Martha built our lessons exactly in accordance to my neeeds. Not only they were useful and informative, but enjoyable and fun at the same time. Very professional, nice and attentive tutor . Her lessons improved my Spanish skills to the level I wished and beyond , and my trip became even more fun than I expected. Will continue my classes, as I fell in love with the language

Marta is tutoring my son - high school IB Spanish. He has trouble with rote memory issues, so learning languages is really difficult for him, His grade moved up markedly with Marta's help - she is professional, prepared and knows how to help. They work hard together the entire time; very impressive and immensely helpful - my son has benefitted tremendously from Marta's guidance. She is a great teacher!

My son worked with Marta in preparation for his IB Spanish exam. He brought his marks up from the C range into the A range under Marta's tutelage. I also met with Marta weekly to brush up on my conversational Spanish. She was very effective in helping with vocabulary, grammar, reading and writing as well as conversation. Marta is professional and capable of customizing lessons to suit a variety of curriculum demands and personal preferences. I highly recommend her as a Spanish tutor.
