TESTIMONIALS

DAVE (Ireland)

I took two-hour Spanish lessons with Sofía Gutierrez every day for two weeks in January 2008 while I was on a visit to Buenos Aires.

Sofía was punctilious and professional; after the first meeting she came prepared with lessons and exercises carefully tailored to my abilities. I take the view that learning a language should be pleasurable and free of stress – in short, as a child would learn – and Sofía made our meetings fun and enjoyment as well as rich learning experiences.

My intermediate Spanish improved enormously over the period – I have no hesitation in recommending Sofía – she is the finest.

Sofia is a born teacher!  She is able to explain grammar so that even the dumbest of fools can understand.  As a native spanish speaker who herself studied English for many years, she knows the trials and tribulations that come with learning a new language.  As a result, she is very patient and uses various methods of teaching to always keep the class new and exciting.  It is easy to see she is very passionate about languages, cultures, people and teaching.  Not only does she challenge her students in the classroom, but Sofia takes interests in getting to know her students and involving them in everyday porteno activities, whether it be a field trip to the casa rosada or the local hot spot,  outside of classroom.
I took classes with Sofia for several weeks and her personality won me over.  Not only is she a wonderful, creative teacher, but a fun-loving, exciting young professional! I would HIGHLY recommend Sofia to students of all levels.

I spent 7 months in BA. I first went to a school and had private lessons. Then, a friend of mine recommended Sofia so I decided to try here out. She was much better than the school and  she has exceptional knowledge in linguistics (which not all professors have). She was well prepared every class and increased my ability to speak Span. 10X!!!! These are very affordable lessons and I HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Sophia, cuando regreso, voy a llamarte y sacar mas clases. Gracias!

ANTOINE (France)

Soy Antoine, un estudiante francés que vino a hacer una pasantía en la Embajada de Francia en Buenos Aires durante 6 meses. Tenía ganas de mejorar mi nivel de castellano y descubrir unos rasgos culturales argentinos (no es tan fácil encontrar y salir con jóvenes argentinos).

Encontré a Sofía gracias a una amiga que me la presentó. Fue une experiencia mágica no sólo lingüística (me enseñó un montón de vocabulario y de gramática) sino también cultural. Me hizo descubrir muchos aspectos de la juventud argentina que desconocía del todo. Es más, me llevó a muchos lugares (entre otros los famosos boliches porteños) típicos de la vida nocturna. De no haber encontrado a Sofía, mi estancia en Buenos Aires no habría sido tan increíble como fue.

En resumidas cuentas, ¡ Sofía es la más !

JAMES (USA)

Sofia and I met a few times each week for four months during my stay in Buenos Aires.  Over that short time we made striking improvements to my conversational Spanish through ad hoc lessons scattered across the city.  Sofia is a natural instructor with a keen mind for languages. — I’ve never learned more Spanish in less time.

TRENT (Canada)

When I arrived in BA, I had never studied Spanish before. After five weeks of lessons with four different teachers, a Porteno friend of mine finally recommended Sofia to me. From the outset, she was very helpful in evaluating my comprehension, and designing classes to develop my skills as efficiently as possible. After a little more than two months with her, I was able to function with relative ease in everyday life in BA. Gracias Sofi!

MATT (USA)

Sofia was the best spanish teacher I ever had. She knows the in’s and out’s of languages and does a good job of relating with her students. She knows how to make learning fun and helps students get a feel for Argentine and Porteno culture. She is a complete sweetheart and is extremely patient which is important when teaching a language. I really lucked out on having her for an instructor and a friend. She also brought me to a party where I met my girlfriend (another hottie Portena….like Sofia) I would recommend her to anyone.
