I am a retired 74 year old doctor who started trying to learn spanish over 10 years ago. I tried most options available to me, including Rosetta Stone, private teachers over skype and once for 6 months a private teacher I met with face to face twice a week. I improved very little , studying grammar and memorizing conjugations etc. I gave up after about 7 years, frustrated at my lack of progress. I decided to give it another chance again almost a year ago when I found Luis Lopez. His approach was very different. He spent the first few weeks exposing me to all types of material (videos, youtube channels, short stories and articles in spanish etc), searching for my interests and finding out about my preferences. He did not approach me with a cookie cutter method he used for all his students. He was customizing his approach to my needs, likes and dislikes. When I expressed an interest in the exploration of our universe, he found articles and videos associated with that topic. Our classes twice a week are stress free and fluid. I am improving for the first time in years. I feel as if I have not only found a new teacher but a new friend. I could not recommend Luis more highly. Five Stars!! Dr Sam M. Horowitz, FACFAS retired!
