Jacky was so helpful & kind! She made it clear we could ask questions or help at any moment, and she made fun conversations that really helped stretch my learning. Our class was small and it was helpful hearing the other student speak Spanish and made me feel comfortable knowing we were both learning together.

I have been taking lessons with Speak Better Spanish and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. All three of my teachers, Hannah, Arturo, and Jacky are excellent and bringing their own style to our lessons, I recommend anyone of the instructors to anybody who is serious about improving their learning

I started working with Hannah on Jan 8th 2020. The years I have been working with Hannah have been fun as we improve my Spanish. It is a laid back environment while also pushing you. I participate in both hour Grammar classes and 30 minute conversations. She has added two new members to her team recently, Jacky and Micheal. They also have been fun to work with and get to know as they help me learn how to have real life conversations in Spanish.
