Ver Knowledgeable and very patient.

Courtney is very patient. She encourages me. She explains the complex and makes the complex easier teaching me how to remember different verb endings. She has me work through exercises & quizzes and this helps me understand and it cements the the lessons in my mind. She encourages me to speak Spanish and gently corrects me which helps me learn. She lets me ask questions and patiently answers my many questions. i really like her. I only wish that i could spend more time learning but i am learning with the time that I can spend with her. She is a natural born teacher. I am starting to speak some Spanish with my employees. They love it and they help me. I don't think it is possible to learn another language without speaking it, making mistakes and learning from the mistakes.

Ron, 9 lessons with Courtney

Lesson on pronunciation

She gave careful and thorough guidance on pronunciation. The session was comfortable and informative. We're looking forward to working with Courtney in learning French.

Tom, 5 lessons with Courtney

Courtney is a patient, knowledgeable, effective and charming teacher.

If you have a yearn to learn French, I suggest that you work with Courtney. Why? Because she has, in abundance, ALL of the characteristics that a language teacher should have; i.e., she is non-critical of my stupidity, knows her subject extremely well, speaks beautiful French, is very pleasant, understanding and effective. Seriously, she has the ability to teach French, without being the ogre that my French teachers were in high school. Hooray for the good guys!!!

Francis, 6 lessons with Courtney

Extremely patient and knowledgeable, great teacher!

Created a beginners program in learning the French language, scheduled classes for one on one interaction and recommended resources to help expedite comprehension.

Tricia, 3 lessons with Courtney

Una mujer muy interesante! (A Very Interesting Woman!)

Courtney was very pleasant to chat with about all sorts of subjects, and this was just what I want to better my Spanish conversation. Just what I wanted!

Christopher, 15 lessons with Courtney

Upbeat and friendly

Courtney makes learning fun and simple. Lessons are broken down so its easy to understandable. She also motivates learning of a language. However she goes with the flow without having a set plan of teaching.
