I am a 27 yr. old female from Portland, Oregon. I went to Bariloche for the season to snowboard. I arrived to South America speaking very little Spanish. I enrolled for a week of immersion classes not knowing what to expect. I was the only student in my class, making each day a private lesson. My teacher, Carina was fabulous! Not only is she a wonderful teacher, she also is very personable. I felt like my classes were geared towards real life, and to the necessary language used for traveling. After my first week of classes I enrolled for an additional 3 weeks. Another great benefit to the class was going out into the town of Bariloche to practice as we were walking around.
I spent in whole 8 months in South America, and I am so thankful for having taken Spanish classes with Carina.

I studied Spanish with Ani for two weeks and it was one of the best and most productive learning experiences I have had. Ani has many years of experience teaching Spanish and knows her stuff! Because she knows English, she is also able to understand the special difficulties that English speakers have with learning Spanish and can explain difficult concepts in English when necessary. But she won't let you get away with too much English! At first it may seem frustrating, but at the end of two weeks with her, I felt proud of myself that when we went out for a farewell beer, we were able to converse completely in Spanish! She is a patient and supportive teacher, but she takes her work seriously and will challenge you too. Not only is she a fabulous, professional teacher, but she also takes a genuine interest in her students and likes to learn about other cultures and people, so she is a wonderful person and friend too!

I have studied Spanish in several countries, with different teachers and I can confidently say that Carina is the best Spanish teacher I have met. Her considerable content knowledge and use of varied teaching strategies, as well as ability to answer student questions and ability to tailor course materials and resources to meet student needs and interests are proof of this. In addition, her positive attitude, approachable manner, infectious enthusiasm and her sense of humour thoroughly engage and motivate students.

Las clases con Ani?
Fueron semanas en que tome mucho más que clases de español. Mi español tuvo una grande evolución con Ani, ¡seguro! Pero…Ani se mostró mucho más que una maestra: conversábamos sobre todas las cosas, política, relaciones, música, libros, arte... Nos tornamos amigas y siempre que vuelvo a Bariloche, mi familia es invitada a comer un asado con la suya.
¡Espectacular! Debo todo que sé en español a Ani.

Carina was a very organized teacher who was also willing to focus on our individual needs as students. She presented lessons as well as talked with us in conversations which helped us tune our ears to listening to Spanish. She was very patient and easy to work with. We enjoyed our time as her students!

"Carina fue profesora ideal para mi. Me enseñaba despacio con paciencia, pero alcancé mucho porque siempre compartiamos la meta de cada clase. ¡Gracias a ella nuevamente!"
