Every time I'm confused for a native speaker my heart fills with pride and gratitude for his patience, his dedication, and his ability to adjust to my style of learning and address my specific needs.  I now consider him a great friend and look forward to our weekly conversations.  He also has stellar travel and restaurant recommendations!"

  • "I have been taking lessons with Allan of nearly 3 years and have vastly improved my Spanish fluency and confidence. Not only did this open up new opportunities at work, but it also enabled me to travel with family and friends to Latin America as the sole Spanish speaker in the group. In addition to being a great instructor, Allan is also a really interesting and funny conversationalist."
