Why Choose NYC Spanish?
It would be difficult to find another school or teacher with a method as efficient and as much fun as Andrea’s. There are some very good teachers around and a few good schools. However, people often spend exorbitant amounts of time, energy and money on “one size fits all” courses. This often leads to boredom and frustration because these courses lack the vision or flexibility to adapt to your personal learning style. It is also important to point out that many teachers are not fully bilingual and that slows down the process of learning, especially when the student is a beginner.

Andrea is completely bilingual in English and Spanish and this saves a lot of precious tutoring time when you have a specific question.
Andrea has been developing her teaching method through:
- Years of practice with many different types of people.
- Extensive research.
- Strong academic education and training.
- An interdisciplinary approach so that the classes are also a lot of fun!

Student Testimonials:
“I have learned from Andrea in only 4 months far more about the Spanish language than I was able to learn from 2 years of countless larger classes, audio programs and study guides. Each lesson with Andrea has improved my vocabulary, conversational skills, comprehension and comfort with the language. No two classes are the same, and I am certain no other instructor brings more experience, knowledge of the Spanish language and culture, and positive energy to her teaching. I am a better student and lawyer for having been under her wings.”
