Our daughter has been attending Peninsula Montessori School since she was two years old, and as she…read moreapproaches her fifth birthday, we are consistently in awe of the confident, curious, and compassionate little person she is becoming. This school has been nothing short of transformative for her development. From the moment we joined the PMS community, it was clear this was a special place. The authentic Montessori environment has allowed her to thrive socially, emotionally, and academically. She has learned to follow her own curiosity, work both independently and collaboratively with her peers, and manage her emotions in a supportive setting. The passion for learning is palpable the moment you step into a classroom; the children are engaged, focused, and genuinely proud of their work. Our daughter loves going to school every single day, which is the greatest testament we can offer. Beyond the classroom, the Montessori Parents Association (MPA) hosts incredible events that weave magic into the school year. These events build such a strong sense of community and create unforgettable memories for the students, making their elementary years truly special. We are so grateful to have found Peninsula Montessori. It has provided an unparalleled foundation for our daughter, fostering a joy for learning that we know will stay with her for life. We cannot recommend this school highly enough.

Laura is a wonderful and amazing teacher! I am an elementary school teacher; I decided to take…read moreSpanish classes with Laura because I wanted to be able to communicate effectively with my students' parents at school. I took three years of Spanish in high school but didn't continue my studies after high school. Due to not studying Spanish for several years, I lost many foundational skills as well as my confidence in conversational speaking. Prior to the lessons, I was only able to speak several words and phrases, but now I'm able to have a basic conversation. After taking several sessions with Laura I have gained confidence with basic conversational skills in Spanish. The weekly Skype classes worked perfect with my schedule. She is very accommodating and flexible when it comes to scheduling classes. The classes are full immersion; she encourages you to only speak Spanish throughout the entire session. The classes and homework were tailored to my individual needs as a student. Laura is extremely patient and makes each class challenging yet engaging. I highly recommend her services!

I've been taking remote lessons with Laura for 1 year and in that time I've been able to…read moresignificantly advance Spanish language skills. I can now converse fluently in everyday scenarios, and I have an intermediate business vocabulary with an 80% comprehension of my Spanish-speaking professional colleagues (enough to ask the right questions!). I run an international tech start-up that requires frequent travel to Mexico City. I wanted to build on the four years of Spanish I took high school so that I could get around the city while traveling, as well as communicate more effectively with the staff and vendors that were not fluent in English. My work hours tended to be long and unpredictable, so the Skype sessions with Laura were actually a huge selling point for me - I don't think I could have improved my Spanish any other way as physical classroom lessons were out of the question for me. Because I wasn't practicing Spanish regularly, I was VERY rusty. Prior to my first lesson, Laura gave me a placement test so she could assess where I should begin. Every session is 100% Spanish, so I wasn't sure how we were going to pull this off. I am not going to lie - my Spanish was stilted, jarring and filled with "umm" and "hmm" during the first lesson, almost like I never learned a thing in school! Rest assured, Laura was an intuitive instructor and adapted the topics to help me feel more comfortable in the first couple of sessions. During lessons, we used the Skype chat function to help translate or conjugate words I needed to learn, so that was very useful - and I was able to go back and review her feedback afterward. While Skype has been a great communication tool, it only works because there's a seasoned educator behind it. One of Laura's strengths is her ability to adapt and contextualize the lessons to my specific needs. The first couple of months I had homework prior to each lesson, which refreshed me on the basics. Later, the lessons became more conversational and we ran through some business related topics so I could learn vocabulary I was most likely to use. After 3 weeks, I stopped stumbling over my words; after 3 months, I was able to travel solo in Mexico without a lick of English; after 6 months, I was able to understand about 50% of professional Spanish speakers; and after 1 year, I read, write, and speak Spanish daily - informally and professionally. My Spanish is not always perfect, but it's very good and I feel confident speaking to others. I'm still taking lessons to keep improving. I've recommended Laura to other friends and peers because she's helped me so much. If you are serious about learning, give a few lessons a try. Si está considerando las lecciones de Laura, no lo dude. En un mes regrese y lea esta reseña y le prometo que estará de acuerdo conmigo. Buena suerte!

He was so flexible and accommodating since it was very last minute and I also work. I have had two sessions with him since and it was great! He met me at the library right near my house which was really convenient. I was really struggling in the first session and he even stayed for an extra hour to help make sure I was ready for my quiz the next day. I went into the session not knowing anything about pre-calc or trigonometry and I got a 12/10 on my quiz the next day. I would definitely recommend PV tutors to anyone in the South Bay!

They even have some special activities for parents to participate in on holidays. Above all, they are also extremely communicative and understanding.
