Score: 5 Teacher: Ines Alcayaga By: stacey August 24, 2009 Lead Acquired: August 24, 2009 Hours of Instructions: 60 |
Ines gives lots of growth in a short time Ines has been my Spanish teacher since October 2009. I have completed 40 lessons with her, which is about 60 hours of instruction. We meet at either a Starbucks café or a Barnes & Nobles. Ines is organized and prepared for each lesson. She has everything laid out before you enter, and from the minute you sit down, you are kept busy. We do grammar exercises, read aloud from books and answer questions about the text, and have conversations. You are expected to speak only in Spanish, of course. At the end of the lesson, she gives you a packet of homework to complete during the week. One of the things that I like about Ines is that she is so fast. Since she has everything laid out before you enter, no time is wasted looking for a lesson or figuring out what activity to do next. The other thing that I like about her is that she is funny and open-minded. She looks like your grandmother, but you would be surprised at what she will laugh at! And what she will say! She smiles and laughs a lot, and is a genuinely fun person. To give you a snapshot of my progress with Ines: Before Ines, I could only speak in the present tense if I got to think about what I was going to say before hand. I could not understand the TV, radio, or native speakers. Now that I have taken 40 classes with Ines, I can understand most of what is said on TV, on the radio, and by native speakers when they speak to me. I can speak about almost anything in most tenses without having to think about it first. My grammar is still not perfect, but with Ines, I know I will get there. Since I am a teacher myself, I know a good educator when I see it. Ines is a great Spanish instructor, and her hard work is appreciated. Add a folllow-up message (stacey or Ines Alcayaga only) |
