Ms. Blanca and Ms. Maria are loving, engaging, and truly gifted at creating memorable experiences. You can feel how much they care about the kids and it shows in everything they do. We absolutely love all the seasonal art projects and celebrations at Yak Academy. From trick-or-treating and the school Thanksgiving meal to the magical Polar Express Christmas day (that my daughter in 3rd grade still wishes she could skip school to attend), everything is done with so much care and creativity. The silly St. Patrick's Day fun, the Easter egg hunts, the Spring concert, and the beautiful graduation are all memories our family will cherish forever. Our kids adore them and we couldn't be more grateful for everything they do. We've watched our children grow in confidence, creativity, and develop a love for Spanish.

For myself, my young teens were not getting the fully rounded Spanish instruction at their middle school and Spanish in Action provided us with a teacher resident in Argentina (via zoom). The once per week class was conducted entirely in Spanish, very immersive and very much supplementing what was missing in traditional Spanish instruction in public schools. They have many in person classes also. They are very responsive and provide very good instruction and feedback. This is the missing link you have been looking for in your child's Spanish journey I believe. It was for us. Thank you Natalia.

My child has been attending since February, and in just a few months, we've seen tremendous growth, not only in language skills, but also in behavior and overall happiness. What stands out the most is how excited my child is to go to school every day, and even more telling, how they want to linger and keep playing when it's time to go home. That kind of joy and comfort speaks volumes about the environment the teachers have created. Ms. Shelly and Ms. Aya have been absolutely wonderful. They are warm, attentive, and truly invested in each child's development. I really appreciate how open they are to working with parents and tailoring their approach to meet each child's needs. It's clear they genuinely care and want every child to thrive. The school does a fantastic job of encouraging independence, teaching important manners, and creating a space where children can learn naturally through play. We've been so happy with our experience and are really glad we took a chance on this newer location. We're looking forward to continuing our journey here and sending our children in the years to come.

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!
