I’ve been taking Spanish classes with Astrid for almost two years, and she is truly an outstanding teacher. As an attorney, it was important to me to learn Spanish that is both professional and accessible for my clients. On a personal level I’m also learning Spanish to communicate with family and friends. Astrid has gone above and beyond to tailor lessons to those needs, even creating practical language I can confidently use in my work.

I’m Puerto Rican so she also takes the time to research Puerto Rican vocabulary and expressions, helping me understand the cultural and regional differences across Latin America. Her classes are flexible, engaging, and always personalized to my goals. Beyond grammar, she brings warmth, culture, and real-world application into every lesson!!

If you’re looking for a teacher who is patient, knowledgeable, and deeply invested in your success, I cannot recommend Astrid enough.

I have been taking classes with Astrid for over three years now and cannot express how much I have learned and enjoy my lessons. I teach in a school district with a large Spanish speaking population and wanted to improve my conversation skills. Working with Astrid has not only drastically improved my Spanish speaking, but has allowed me to make connections with my students and their families in ways I would have never imagined. I look forward to my lessons every week and have grown so much over these past few years. She is the BEST!

Taking Spanish lessons with Astrid has been an excellent experience. Her teaching style is clear, patient, and engaging. The lessons are productive and enjoyable. I had a lot of prior knowledge of Spanish so she and I tend to just talk and have conversations about every topic under the sun. Learning and staying current with foreign languages takes regular practice. When you don't practice, you tend to lose or forget what you knew. These lessons bridge that gap for me. The mix of grammar, conversation, and cultural insights keeps things interesting. I truly appreciate her time and professionalism. She's been so good for me that she teaches my kids Spanish as well. I highly recommend Astrid to anyone who wants to learn Spanish effectively.

I have taken weekly Spanish lessons with Astrid for more than a year! It has been a true pleasure! Astrid is always very organized and structured in her teaching approach! Her personality is professional, but very personal, and encouraging! She has been the best language support I can think of, in my move from Canada to Barcelona. I can warmly recommend Astrid!

I have been studying Spanish with Astrid for about 4 years, and I would highly recommend her to anyone who is looking to improve their Spanish-speaking skills. Sometimes, our lessons are somewhat formal with Astrid selecting a specific topic or skill to work on, and other times we just end up having free-roaming conversations about any number of things - Astrid is knowledgeable on many topics and is a very thoughtful and engaging conversation partner.
