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
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.
Hannah has been an absolute pleasure to work with she is very diligent and a great teacher. I have been trying to learn Spanish for years and I have never had as much success as when I am with her classes are always fun and done very properly. I am excited to continue my journey learning Spanish with Hannah.
Working with Hannah is a very positive experience. Hannah is very personable , very professional and very proactive. Using business parlance, Hannah adds real value to my efforts to learn a new language.
Hannah’s Spanish course has been a such a great experience!! She’s incredibly clear, practical, and her lessons are easy to follow. She also has been extremely patient and adaptable to my needs when learning Spanish which I am so grateful for. Even though I’m still very early in my Spanish journey, I’m starting to feel more confident in my ability to read, write, and understand Spanish in real life thanks to her course and teachings!
Speak Better Spanish has allowed me to customize my learning with personalized lessons. From getting help translating scripts for my job, to workng through tenses and conjugations, Hannah has been an incredible teacher. It helps that she's kind, makes you feel smart no matter how much you botch the language, and is a lot of fun to chat with. I highly recommend her!
This is the best way to learn Spanish- to practice it with another person. My teacher sends a list of words or phrases I had trouble with during our convo, and I study those. I also am learning some grammar, which is harder to get in apps like Duolingo. Hannah and Michael are patient teachers. They speak slowly so I can understand them. It's easy to make an appointment online. I highly recommend this immersive way to become fluent in Spanish.
Let me cut to the chase: If you want to learn Spanish without the burnout or BS, this is the place. I’ve tried apps, textbooks, and other classes, but nothing compares to the personalized approach here.Hannah is an absolute gem. She has this rare talent for meeting you exactly where you’re at—whether you’re struggling with basics or polishing fluency—and making you feel like you’re crushing it. Learning a language can mess with your confidence, but Hannah turns every hurdle into a high-five moment. She’s patient, hilarious, and genuinely invested in your progress.Then there’s Michael, the MVP of structured learning. Dude knows how to build a course that works. No fluff, no random drills—just clear, practical lessons that actually stick. He balances grammar, vocab, and real-world conversation in a way that feels natural, not overwhelming. I went from awkwardly translating in my head to chatting comfortably with my Spanish-speaking coworkers, and a ton of credit goes to his methods.The company itself? Super professional but never rigid. They adapt to your schedule, their materials are actually engaging (shocking, I know), and the whole vibe is “we’ve got your back.” No cookie-cutter crap here—it’s tailored, human, and effective.Bottom line: Hannah and Michael are the dream team. If you’re serious about learning Spanish, stop overthinking it and sign up. You’ll thank yourself later. 👊
I had a month of wonderful classes with Hannah and Michael. They made the classes fun and easy to digest, with very clear instructions and follow along hand-outs. The hand-outs are great practice tools. I am excited for my next trip to Mexico so I can use some of the phrases I learned. Thanks guys!
I was using Duolingo Max for months but Speak Better Spanish was a valuable asset to help me level up learning foreign language. Hannah is the best, easy to work with, fun/funny, engaging, has a very deep understanding of language and always capable of explaining lessons in a multitude of learning channels. She has been a true asset for cross training with apps and digital programs. She is professional and dynamic, 5 stars!
Hannah is a wonderful Spanish teacher – she is extremely proficient (fluent) and understands cultural nuances. She understands how to teach people, starting from the beginning and gradually layering on more and more information. I have been learning quite a bit of Spanish already just from a few weeks of working with her. I definitely recommend working with Hannah!
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. Highly recommend weather you just want to learn basic Spanish for travel or if your goal is fluency.
I don’t know how to express how happy I am with Speak Better Spanish. The tutors are fantastic.
Hannah is a wonderful teacher – always willing to explain something or answer a question. She has a great mastery of the Spanish language and does an amazing job helping you learn and progress your own abilities!
I have worked with Hannah in group classes and one on one and she is by far the best Spanish teacher I have ever had. She is patient, kind and loves teaching.I recently took a Mexican slang group class with Hannah and her new instructors and it was fun and very insightful. I highly recommend Speak Better Spanish.
This is by far the BEST online ( or non-online) Spanish learning course I have experienced. Hannah,being a fluent non-native Spanish speaker, understands the trials and tribulations of learning Spanish as she has experienced them herself during her journey to master Spanish. So her approach to teaching Spanish is kind and gentle while ensuring that the basic tenets of the language are instilled in the student. The fact that she is willing to converse in English, when needed, is comforting to students at a beginner level. After the lessons, she emails detailed notes,recordings of the session as well as links to websites. She also teaches at a pace within the comfort level of the student, is very patient and does not mind repeating lessons to ensure the student acquires proficiency in the lesson. The student gets text and email reminders for the forthcoming session.Overall, I highly recommend Speak Better Spanish with Hannah. The BEST online program for Spanish learners of all levels -beginners to advanced !
I've had several tutors over the last two years and I feel I've gained the most from Hannah. I'm making steady progress without the frustration I've had with other tutors. Hannah listens to what I'm trying to accomplish and tailors her lessons specifically to me. Learning another language can be very frustrating; it's important to find the right tutor so that you don't give up on your goals. Hannah is that person for me….I hope you will find the same.
Hannah is excellent! She is patient, encouraging, positive, and delightful. I find she is able to tailor teaching to my needs even on bad days. I have memories of being called on in my French class in junior high school and looking at the teacher with a blank stare even after taking 2 years of college spanish. Hannah is helping me overcome the fear of making mistakes and feeling like a toddler. She is able to explain nuances ofgrammer in detail for those who are interested in linguistics but can also explain things in a simple and practical manner. Finally, she is genuinely interested in her students and that comes across loud and clear.
I enjoy working with Hannah. She adapts my learning plan according to my progress. Our interesting conversations in Spanish keep me motivated towards my goal of fluency. Apps are a great complement to our work, but there is no substitution for engaging one-on-one teaching and conversation. If you feel stuck with your progress, or with your confidence, I’d highly recommend working with her.
It is great having Hannah as an instructor because she is able to do what native spanish speakers aren't: she is answers the question – Why? It can be confusing and frustrating learning spanish but Hannah has helped to make sense of it. Thanks Hannah!
I took several lessons with Hannah, different types as well from 30min to hr, lesson plans to conversational. I have since gone to Mexico (I’m currently in Irapuato). My Spanish isn’t perfect after a year but I have been able to converse with my fiancé’s family, order from restaurants or stores, ask for directions, and experience Mexican Culture like the Christmas traditions as well as family parties like Quinceañeras. I’m very thankful for having a great teacher like Hannah who is able to understand where I struggle or my pronunciations even when they are not perfect. I was recommended to Hannah and would recommend her lessons for anyone wanting to learn Spanish in a comfortable and fun way.
I had a consult with Hannah and decided to work with her further after discussing my goals and her methods. She is very easy to work with. More importantly, she was quick to draft a plan to address what I want to accomplish as a Spanish learner. I feel confident that working with her will accelerate my progress and I'm looking forward to it. I booked my sessions right away.
I did Spanish conversation lessons with Hanna. She is an excellent teacher providing useful practical conversational with real world phrases and situations.
I’m in my 60s, and have always wanted to learn Spanish. I took classes in high school, and later in adult school, but never felt that I was making much progress.I discovered Hannah, and decided to try some lessons.These one on one sessions are great! I can ask questions as they arise, get clarification, and I’m finally getting a handle on really learning to speak Spanish! Hannah is great to work with, patient, and these lessons are great value.
Working with Hannah has dramatically improved my Spanish as well as my confidence in using Spanish in actual conversations. Thanks
Hannah is by far the best language teach of any kind that I've worked with. Not only is she a master at her craft and her ability to customize your language education to your specific needs and pace, she's also an absolute joy to work with. 11/10 recommend!
I've been working with Hannah for several years in a variety of ways… group classes, hour long grammar classes, half-hour Spanish conversation classes… I've never been disappointed, and have always enjoyed our classes. Hannah is always patient, friendly, understanding, and non-judgmental. I would highly recommend Speak Better Spanish for your Spanish learning needs.
As an older learner, I found it refreshing to return to this format of learning. After months of Duolingo, I felt confident rebuilding my Spanish vocabulary and grammar. But….whenever I encountered the opportunity to speak with someone, the words just weren't there. Thanks, Hannah, for the relaxed and supportive learning! I needed it!
Hannah has been a huge blessing. I have put off learning Spanish for decades, and I’m really enjoying learning the language! Hannah makes it enjoyable and easy to understand. She also does a great job keeping you challenged and is always encouraging.Gracias Hannah!
con un poco que mi visto ahora eso es muy bien por de gente que quieres aprender mas como yo pero yo quiero aprender cosas como el medico o cosas como en de leyes eso puedes ser muy bien es por que gente quiere saver eso cosas por su trabajo por el clientes que no cepas egles
I really like the model of the 4 week classes as well, They allow learners to dive into specific topic area without committing to a whole "semester." I did the por/para class and learned a lot and the reflexive verb/articles class is also great. Hannah does a great job of teaching the class in a way that anyone from a beginner thru an advanced student can get something out of it. I am not sure what the next 4 week class will be but I recommend taking it.
After hearing about the Immersion trip to Dominican Republic, i decided to sign up for 6 months of lessons. Hannah is approachable and knowledgable as she customizes my lessons. Her flexibility-with-structure is a big asset to the online learning method. My pace and my topics but with unlimited support from a great teacher. I was lucky to be a part of Hannah's first Spanish Immersion trip to the Dominican Republic and we all had a blast. She's a great trip planner, translator (as needed), and human being.
Hannah has been awesome to work with! I work with two other instructors who are Colombian. The thing I really appreciate about working with Hannah is that not only is she a great (and patient) Spanish teacher, she also can better explain and translate the differences in American and Spanish cultures. This helps me to understand why some things in the Spanish culture are what they are, which, in turn, helps me to better understand the language itself. I highly recommend Hannah!
Yesterday I had a great opportunity to spend some time with both Hannah and Dominique just speaking Spanish. It was fun, as well as simply hearing other people speak Spanish, and making ye olde brain work at understanding and responding (hopefully appropriately) – I assume I accomplished that because no one cringed! You should jump at the chance to work with Hannah to assist your Spanish learning!!
Hannah has really been helpful supplementing my son's Spanish III class studies this year. Even though we are in Kentucky, scheduling and conducting sessions over the internet has been a breeze, and we appreciate the opportunities and extra materials she has provided for his additional practice. Thanks!
I was looking to improve my basic Spanish before a trip to Mexico. Hannah is punctual and very positive. We were able to schedule 8 sessions within a short period of two weeks. A good experience.
Perfecta pronunciación, sin duda muy recomendable, un español impecable.
Hannah is an enthusiastic and easygoing person. She always put so much passion in her work. Strongly recommended.
