Coach Alberto is the absolute best!
I have been working with coach Alberto for almost three years now and he is different from all of the other teachers that I've ever had because not only does he see where you are in your progress and knows how to challenge you at the next step, but he speaks perfect English and is able to clear up any confusion or miscommunication if you get snagged on a particular problem. He can literally answer any question that I have as I like to know "Why is this like this?" or "how does the grammar work in this?", and other questions that not just any professor can answer in a way I can understand (a rare find in a language teacher, believe me!). He has the perfect balance of correcting you but not interrupting your thoughts. There are a lot of teachers that can converse with you, a lot of teachers that can be patient with you, and there are a lot of teachers that can teach you, but rarely can you find that combination all in one person. Coach Alberto is a wise teacher and astutely perceives where you need the most help within every session. Like a jedi, he then tailors his lesson to whatever mistakes he perceives needs the most attention. I live in an area where I do not have a lot of Spanish speaking people and he has been my lifeline to help maintain and grow my fluency despite my incredibly busy life and demanding full time job. I have seen my conversational skills and confidence grow with his teaching. I have had a long journey of at least six years with trying to learn Spanish fluently as an adult and I can honestly say that after trying multiple teachers (at other places) and completing an undergraduate degree in Spanish through a university, I have accomplished more with this professor than any of my other endeavors, including the undergraduate degree. He is always professional, always prompt, always perceptive, and always kind. He is the best Spanish teacher I have ever had, and I only wish that I had started working with him much earlier! Scheduling lessons is super easy and the team at Spanish 55 are always helpful and nice.
