Love this place. Waltor is an amazing teacher who is ver passionate about what he does. There is no…read morereal schedual as far as what you'll be learning, he kind of ebs and flows with the class. He takes great care and interest in his students and will literally remember everything that you say about yourself (LITERALLY). He also let's students pick the day that works best for them to learn, so if you can't make your intended class you don't have to miss ghat whole week, which is really nice, but can lead to some mixed up classes. Overall love it. Oh, almost forgot, he offers wine to help people loosen up and be willing to try more spanish, which has been a very effective technique for me.

I had a gift certificate to this school and confirmed they could do classes via zoom. Their website…read morealso says they can do zoom classes. All of my communication with Walter has been in writing, via email or text. Walter has no-showed me twice and the other lessons was consistently late 10-15 minutes. Most times I had to ask for a zoom link, only once was it provided in advance and he no showed anyway. He did our zoom meetings from outside of what looked like a cafe which was dropping service and after two drops texted me to complete a page we were working on. Next meeting he asked/implied I didn't do my homework and I repeated to him that I did the pages requested, he did our meeting from a bakery that time and wrapped up because they were closing. The last time he no showed I responded to the zoom email invite saying I had waited 20 minutes. I've never heard back. So I'd sum this up as consistently late and unreliable. I'd be pretty angry had I spent my own money for these lessons but I did let the person who gave me the gift certificate know what was going on. They did;however, waste my time which I consider valuable. I don't recommend this school.

This place is a gift to anyone that has taken Spanish in school and yet never learned it. After 4…read moreyears of Spanish in high school and not absorbing any of it, I was skeptical that I could be taught. My instructor taught us so much, and broke it down into lessons that made the transition so much easier that I'm not only learning Spanish, but I'm enjoying understanding the how's and the why's of the language. All classes are very small (usually no more than 8) which makes it easy to learn, grow, and laugh with each other. I never felt that I couldn't make a mistake or ask a question. The homework is minimal and doesn't usually take more than an hour a week. (Though it's good to make vocab flash cards as you go and keep practicing). Wonderful teachers, quick responces to emails and phone calls.

I have been attending group spanish classes at Tierra for over 2 years. I started with no spanish…read moreknowledge other than what I learned on Sesame Street as a kid. They are very affordable compared to others, and they have great native speakers for teachers. I have had 3 teachers for different levels, and some others as substitutes. And all their teachers are dynamic and energetic and PATIENT! Especially good for me, because I memorize vocabulary v e r y s l o w l y. The classes are no larger than 8 people so you get really personal attention compared to the universities and colleges. Our class has been studying together for several months and we are now all friends and have attended foreign films together around town and we sometimes bring in snacks for celebrations or special occasions like birthdays etc. I have attended their social celebrations like Day of the Dead and Mexican Independence Day and feel like its a great little community and family at Tierra.

Her English has definitely improved very much in so little time. They helped us in anything we needed.
