RECOMMENDATIONS

Darrick Meneken and Emeline Cokelet (USA)

We recommend Jeannett as a very capable Spanish teacher who is enthusiastic about her instruction.

Jeannett was our tutor for two weeks when we stayed in Arequipa. For four hours a day, she taught us verb uses, vocabulary and pronunciation, but more importantly, she took the time to converse with us, answer all of our questions and help us improve from our intermediate level.

Jeannett is full of energy and excited when her students master concepts. She has a wealth of worksheets to help with written Spanish, and her extensive knowledge of English helps when there is a communication barrier.

Jeannett is professional, committed to her work, and an ideal Spanish teacher.

Sincerely,

Emeline Cokelet & Darrick Meneken

After having completed twenty-two hours of Spanish tuition from Jeannett I can confidently say my Spanish has improved immensely due to her precise and thorough teaching methods.

The lessons were undertaken with my partner Triona who had never had Spanish lessons before. Jeannett managed the lessons well to accommodate our individual needs and attention.

I was impressed with Jeannett’s lesson planning; subjects evolved in an organized fashion and were fun to participle in. I would have no hesitation in recommending Jeannett to my friends or anyone else interested in learning or improving their Spanish.

Yours faithfully,

Peter Bemmer

Having visited South America with the desire to learn the Spanish language, I underwent private tuition with Jeannett.

Jeannett designs her classes individually to fit her pupil’s needs making it a fun and worthwhile experience and she obviously takes great care and pride in the progress of her students. I feel I have benefited greatly from the lessons and would thoroughly recommend her to anyone looking to enrich their knowledge of the Spanish language, whether they are beginners or at more advanced level.

I wish to put writing my thoughts regarding the high level of teaching provided by Jeannett. I have only positive feedback regarding Jeannett’s teaching style and approach to her students. She directed the level of content appropriately and provided a just right challenge; the content was not too basic nor to difficult. Jeannett used written material and verbal instruction in a complementary manner which made learning interesting and easier. Her kind and friendly manner encouraged fun and interactive learning. I would not hesitate to recommend Jeannett to anyone who is seeking Spanish tuition.

Yours Sincerely,

Samantha

"Sandra is a joy to know as a teacher and as a friend. She was my Spanish instructor for my first three months in Arequipa, Peru before I got a job teaching English at an Arequipan elementary school. Sandra was well-prepared for every lesson, very enthusiastic, and knew many creative ways of teaching Spanish. We also went on many fascinating excursions around the city to museums, churches, and other landmarks to learn about the culture and history of Arequipa. In addition to being a great teacher, she is a very kind and considerate friend. We would often go out for cake and coffee even after I stopped taking lessons from her, and we still stay in touch now that I have returned to the US. I highly recommend Sandra to anyone looking for a kind, competent, and enthusiastic Spanish teacher."

In de vier weken dat ik voor een project in Arequipa was, heeft Sandra mij spaanse les gegeven. Behalve dat het heel handig is om taalproblemen van de werkplek direct te kunnen bespreken, waren de lessen leuk en gezellig. Sandra bedenkt slimme manieren om de aandacht vast te houden: woorden uit de krant en uit songteksten, praten over favoriete onderwerpen, uitstapjes naar plekken die we allebei leuk vinden. Daarbij gebruik ik nu de subjunctivo in de dagelijkse praktijk, wie had dat gedacht?

Saludos

I had one on one spanish lessons with Sandra and she was fabulous. Not only did she provide technical grammatical spanish we also spent a lot of time chatting. We had many informal chats that gave me the opportuntiy to practise what I had been learning. Sandra was very receptive of my needs and at what level my spanish was. She was helpful and is the perfect example of an Arequipena. Genuine, helpful, hospitable and very welcoming. Since getting to know Sandra and where she comes from we have become very good friends and despite the fact that I live on the other side of the world we are always in contact. After having a number of spanish teachers I highly recommend Sandra to help bring your spanish to life.

Liebe Sandra

Ich schreibe Dir aus der Schweiz, weil ich Dir für Deinen professionellen Spanischunterricht danken möchte.

Ich habe in diesen drei Wochen dank Deiner Geduld und freundlichen Art meine Spanischkenntnisse erheblich verbessern können.

Die arrangierten Unterkünfte und Ausflüge in und um Arequipa waren dank Deinen guten Kontakten alle bestens vorbereitet und ich konnte so nebst dem Unterricht mehr über Perù erfahren.

Gerne werde ich bei einer weiteren Gelegenheit wieder bei Dir buchen.

Ich wünsche Dir für die Zukunft alles Beste!

Liebe Grüsse aus der Schweiz
