I am a Spanish teacher with more than 20 years of experience teaching in the foreign service, private, and public schools. I enjoy my work, I promise I can help you to get the Spanish level you want,

Raquel is an exceptionally conscienous teacher that truely invests in her students' learning progress, she does so with joy an enthusiasim. Her methods are pratical and even in momemts of frustration and confusion they are even more rewarding. In a short relatively short periord of time I was able notice rapid gains but more importantly a new passion for a language that I should have learned long ago. You are excellent hands with Raquel - an experienced professional that has given voice to countless of unsung heros in the US Foreign Service.

I have worked with Raquel for many years and seen all of her students succeed in language tests at the Foreign Service Institute! She is not only knowledgeable, but accurate in identifying the needs of her students!

Raquel Alonso is a highly qualified Spanish instructor with 10+ years of experience teaching US diplomats in preparation for their mission overseas. Her classes are focused on strengthening your speaking skills and expanding your cultural knowledge! ️

Raquel has worked with me for very long time and she has prepared many students from government agencies to achieve their final goals and to achieve high proficiency in Spanish. I would recommend to work with Raquel as the students’ success is guaranteed.

Raquel taught me Spanish one on one for nearly six months to help me prepare for the Foreign Service Institute Spanish exam required for diplomats with assignments overseas. Thanks to her outstanding tutelage, I passed on the first try!

Aside from her excellent teaching skills, Raquel is an incredible person, and makes classes feel like a joy to attend. I spent 6 hours a day with her talking in Spanish, and we became so close as a result, I now count her as one of my dearest friends. This is what you want in a teacher: someone who motivates you, challenges you, prepares you to succeed with your language goals, and also make you WANT to show up each day for class because you WANT to be there.

I adore Raquel, and I know you will, as well. She is dynamic, fun, serious when necessary, and an outstanding teacher.

Besos y abrazos desde El Salvador!
