I have been taking classes with Humberto for several months now and love our classes together. He is a thoughtful and extremely detailed teacher. We spend half of the classes speaking about life, and then we focus on grammar. I enjoy our sessions greatly, Im learning a lot and feel fortunate to feel that I have made a new friend as well.

I have been taking lessons with Humberto for several weeks and I am enjoying my classes so much. Humberto has tailored the lessons to my exact needs, and I’m learning so much with him. We spend time talking in Spanish each class, and then practice grammar for about half the class. The structure is not rigid, and we tell each other stories, or at least I try. I highly recommend Humberto as a teacher. He is kind, interesting, and has a great skill to be a teacher.
