" I’ve wanted to learn Spanish for a couple of years now. A few months ago, I finally started researching options. I wasn’t quite sure what to look for because I have never studied a second language before. I am a working adult and enrolling in a community college to learn a second language was an option, but didn’t seem like the best option.
When I reached out to Angelique, she was very prompt at replying to my messages, and also wanted to schedule a phone call so that she could find out exactly what I was looking for. Living in Southern California I feel it’s important that I know Spanish, but I was also interested in simply expanding my mind and learning a new skill. I originally enrolled in one of her group classes, but there were not enough students enrolled for the class to start so I decided to do one on one sessions with her. I’m really glad I decided to do that because I think I need the focused attention as a foundation for learning a new language.
I’m six weeks into the class with her and all I can say is, wow! I was not prepared for how much I would like this. I look forward to class every week and I look forward to studying every day. I am hyper focused on Spanish that I see in my community and that I hear others speaking, even though I cannot understand it yet. It’s a lot of work and it’s not easy learning a new language, but I truly look forward to it every day and I find myself scheduling my life around my Spanish studies. I feel like I’m learning a life skill that’s going to help me in so many different areas.
As a teacher, Angelique is very patient and supportive. She takes the time to make sure that I understand what I’m learning before she moves on to new material, rather than pushing forward to stay on an arbitrary timeframe. She acknowledges my progress, and also gives me extra help when I need it. In addition, she shares her passion for learning languages, and how it has changed her life and that it is a continuing never-ending process.
I truly recommend that you consider instruction from Angelique if you are looking to learn Spanish. I am actually looking forward to when this course is over so that I can enroll in another level. "
