Teaching Spanish as a second language since 1992.

I speak a total of 2 languages:
Spanish (Native), English (Intermediate).

I've visited or lived in the following countries: Germany, Switzerland, Cuba

"My wife and I have been taking Spanish lessons on Ƶ with our teacher, Julio, for over a year and we're really enjoying it. We're trying to get good enough at Spanish to be able to interact with some Spanish-speaking family members and speak Spanish while traveling without too much issue (we're not trying to earn a credential, though that's an option they offer). We're making good progress and I recently had a long conversation entirely in Spanish with my brother-in-law which I couldn't have done before. We take two one-hour lessons per week and complete the assigned homework which takes ~20-30 min per class. There are days where my wife or I don't feel like doing the lesson, but we always - without fail - come away from them saying that we had fun. Julio, our Colombian teacher, constantly challenges us without making things so difficult that it's discouraging, and finds fun ways to help build our vocabulary and fluency, like singing children's songs, which he calls "concert time". I will say that you need to be committed to learning the language because purchasing enough lessons for a year is fairly expensive, though still cheaper than many other programs with live tutors. If you know someone interested in learning with you, group lessons provide a discount as compared with purchasing single lessons separately. Overall, I'd highly recommend Ƶ for anyone that is interested in learning another language and is willing to put time and money towards it." Doug A. - Unknown

"write for new travel German guidebook and have been traveling around Latin America for the last few months. I spoke a bit of Spanish before arriving, but wanted to have regular classes with a teacher to brush up on some small points and polish it as I was traveling. It was a great help to have[my Spanish teacher] available to answer any questions about regional phrases and customes as I traveled. I highly recommend Ƶ." Jan E. - Travel Writer

"I have really enjoyed working with Ƶ to improve my Spanish skills! Their online system for purchasing and scheduling classes is very easy to use and I like that they email reminders to me on the days I have classes. I have recommended Ƶ to friends and family members who are interested in learning new languages." Janessa S. - Psychologist

"I am a student of Spanish and have had instruction, both formal and informal off and on, over a long period of time. Recently I began studying again with the goal of improving my reading and speaking knowledge of the language. Happily, I encountered Ƶ and Maestra Stefanie Chavez in particular. Stefanie Chavez possesses a thorough understanding of the English language and its idiosyncrasies and the ability to teach the same in Spanish. In each session I’ve encountered both traditional and contemporary readings which lead to interesting discussions and a better understanding of the language. She is enthusiastic and patient and always upbeat. She is open to questions and interested in my input. I look forward to our sessions and furthering my understanding of the language, its history and the rich culture of its many speakers. The classes are seamlessly managed by Ƶ. " Bruce F. - Unknown
