"Amazing: Knowledgable, Helpful and Incredibly Interesting"

Carina is an excellent tutor. She is able to tailor our lessons to the exact areas I need most help in and knows how to make our discussions both interesting and fun.  Ethan / New York, NY on 10/28/2015

"An amazing Spanish tutor!"

I have been working over the past months with Carina to improve my oral proficiency in Spanish. In my time with her, we talk about a variety of topics and role-play scenarios that would be included in an exam, like the OPI. Carina reviews grammar in a way that is always clear and she introduces me to new vocabulary and idiomatic expressions. It is difficult, to sum up what a great experience I have had working with Carina - she is a creative, patient and accommodating teacher who motivates and strives to work with you towards reaching your goals in the Spanish language. Without a doubt, I highly recommend Carina!!   Kara Jersey City, NJ on 10/7/2015

"She was very patient with my girls, which had a lot of questions."

My girls loved her, it as the first class and they were so comfortable with her. They asked a question and Carina made it easy for them to understand each and one of the words and sentences, she gave the girls. Carina played with the girls have they learned Spanish. I'm very pleased with the lessons, can't wait for more classes for girls to learn.  Martha Jersey City, NJ on 7/22/2015

My son and I have both had the pleasure of taking Spanish tutoring with Carina, and it was an excellent experience. She is patient, explains things very well and is very passionate about the language and culture.

"Excellent tutor who tailors lessons to the student's needs"

I really enjoyed my first class with Carina. We jumped straight in, translating some phrases I prepared in advance allowing Carina to tailor the class specifically to my needs. I liked that Carina also broke down each phrase explaining the pronouns, verbs, adjectives with different examples which will allow me to build upon this lesson. My extended family is Argentinian so she also highlighted differences in Argentinian Spanish which was very helpful. We did this lesson via Skype which I found to be an effective communication method. It is helpful that Carina writes down the Spanish words on a whiteboard during the lesson. Looking forward to learning more with Carina in future lessons.  Arlene / Jersey City, NJ on 7/21/2015

Carina is a patient, thorough teacher who often goes above and beyond to answer my questions. She teaches me cultural differences as well between Spanish speaking countries. I have recommended her to friends. I also enjoy her Spanish Pots!  Tara on 8/26/2015

"Amazing tutor! Very patient and flexible"

I started one-to-one lessons with Carina several months ago. I would come to her home and we would have one-hour sessions twice a week. She was very flexible about the content and pace. A regular textbook approach didn’t work for me, because of my specific situation (especially because I would like to learn Argentine Spanish rather than Central American pronunciation - Carina can help with both). Carina made me feel very comfortable with my level of knowledge so that I could speak more and then slowly helped me to improve. She corrects my grammar and vocabulary in a way that helps me to learn better. My Spanish has significantly improved since I started taking classes with her! Later on, we switched to Skype lessons. I didn’t think of Skype as a good way to learn Spanish before, but now I see how much more convenient it is. I will soon be moving to a different state and plan to continue our Skype lessons. Thank you, Carina, for all your help!

Carina is a wonderful Spanish teacher to my 7 and 10-year-old children. She tailors the lessons to their personalities so that they are truly engaged. She makes Spanish fun to learn but is also firm in her approach. Both my children have learned so much. She is a treasure of a teacher!

"Great tutor/teacher. Very patient and flexible."

I have been studying Spanish with Carina for several months now. She is very professional, patient and engaging as a teacher. We often do a mix of speaking and writing exercises. I have my own workbook that I work from, but our sessions are geared towards what I want to focus on mostly. When I have no clue what to do, she always has suggestions. She stays on top of me about grammar, pronunciation and using new vocabulary which is important for speaking a new language. I feel that I am becoming more confident in my knowledge and ability to speak without too much hesitation. Additionally, her rates are reasonable. She even offers Skype as an option that provides flexibility when in a time crunch. I tried another tutor in the area before finding her and knew from the first session that it was a great fit for me. I highly recommend Carina!  Marcy / Jersey City, NJ on 2/5/2015

I have taken Spanish lessons, both in my home and online, with Carina for 4 years and have learned a lot. She is a great teacher who allows you to learn at your own pace yet encourages you to reach further and learn more. I highly recommend her if you want to learn Spanish.

Carina is an excellent teacher - patient and tailors the lessons to my experience and knowledge of French and Latin so we are building on what I already know. She has also helped me find good material to use at home in-between lessons.I would recommend her highly.
