Debra not only helped my son with his Spanish classwork, she also provided supplemental material to help him master the language and made it fun at the same time!- S.W

The overall experience was really great and I was able to learn a lot during our short time together every week. Being able to learn a language during high school isn’t easy and the way you teach really helped me a lot in recalling information as well as recognizing when to use certain constructions and things like that. I got a 4 on the AP Spanish test. Thanks for all your help!

...thanks to your tremendous attention tutoring our daughter Spanish, she received her first A on a Spanish test EVER! She said it was because she was working with you and she is so proud of herself. So are we. And we are so very thankful for you.

I loved learning Spanish from Debra. It was a very fun and engaging way to learn a new language. No rote memorization of multiple tenses and grammar rules. The flow of Spanish plus new phrases and words just "stick" with you when you've heard them repeated while building a story with your class. An excellent experience!

Studying with Debra was uniquely beneficial to improving my Spanish. She didn't simply tell me the answers to my questions, but involved me in the thought process until we reached a decision. This type of tutoring not only improved my Spanish, but also gave me a new way of tackling problems.

"Debra had the strangest but the most effective teaching techniques I have ever seen. It is so amazing to see how much one can learn in a very short period of time."

"A plethora of fluent speakers of the beautiful language of Spanish exist in California. Cognoscenti understand that the best teachers (for English speakers) are often those whose native tongue is English. Couple that with an astute Stanford brain, passion for Spanish and teaching the same, great 'deskside' manner, and a gift of teaching language . . . and she makes the journey fun. Oh, and she speaks better Spanish than most native speakers."
