TESTIMONIALS

Great experience taking a couple weeks of Spanish classes with Sonia in Bariloche! The lessons were perfectly customized to focus on what I wanted to improve, fun and productive. Sonia is a wonderful teacher, she finds approaches that work, pays attention to details and is reliable and accommodating. Highly recommend!

Sonia was a very well prepared, engaging and fun teacher. We did a week of intensive classes with her and really boosted our level and confidence in Spanish. She chose topics that were relevant to our situation and level. I'd recommend her highly to anyone spending time in Bariloche. She replied to our WhatsApps super quickly and fitted us into her already busy schedule with only a few days notice.

I'm an experienced speaker of Spanish and Sonia has helped me no end with a few pronunciation problems that I hadn't been able to rectify over the years. Also, with targeted work on some grammar use doubts and complications that have arisen over the years.
She has the patience of a saint and an excellent knowledge of her subject which makes learning with her a highly useful and interesting experience. Classes are always well-planned and enjoyable, so I always learn something new.

As an intermediate level student, I took a course of individual lessons with Sonia in November 2022. She is an excellent teacher. She did special preparations before all of our classes, so as to tailor the conversations to my interests and needs. During class, she was positive, helpful and encouraging, and always tuned in to my capabilities, tempo, and interests. She also maintained a level of challenge to keep me progressing, in a supportive way. Our classes were very enjoyable too, with ready humour. She is very professional and competent as a teacher.

"IDEA Spanish arranged an excellent Spanish immersion experience for me in Bariloche. Sonia is a professional who truly cares about her students.  It was obvious that she thoughtfully prepared for each class using exciting material based on my individual interests and goals. I looked forward to each class where learning Spanish felt as enjoyable and as fun as spending time with a good friend. I was even invited to participate in fun activities outside of class. Muchas Gracias!"

"A língua espanhola sempre me encantou, desde muito pequena eu ouvia algumas palavras na casa da minha avó que era filha de espanhóis, e aquilo fazia muito bem aos meus ouvidos. Hoje com 54 anos tive a oportunidade de vim morar em Bariloche na Argentina e para aprender mais o espanhol, iniciei as aulas com a professora Sonia indicada por uma amiga. Bom, foi uma experiência muito boa, só tenho que fazer elogios para a professora Sonia, possui ótima didática, usa métodos simples para ensinar, tem dedicação, transparência, ela reúne todas as características de uma boa profissional que sabe o que faz, então a parabenizo por isso."

"¡Muchas gracias por las clases de español en International House! Me gustaron mucho las clases. Siento que tengo más conocimiento que cuando empecé la clase. Me gustó que repetimos el vocabulario importante muchas veces. Así que era más rápido que memorizar las palabras. Y me gustaron los juegos y las canciones también. Esto hace que sea más divertido para aprender. ¡Gracias una vez más!"
