Carlos is the most wonderful Spanish teacher I have ever worked with! He is a kind, genuine, really
special person to work with. He made our classes fun, using humor and discussing topics related to my
interests.” - Rebecca, United States
“Excellent teacher! Before I met him, I had been taught by several teachers with good reputations.
Nevertheless I was really impressed by his personality and the ability of teaching. He was
empathetic and cheerful, and had the skill of creating a joyful and harmonious atmosphere to
the classroom.” - Chiaki, Japan
“I met Carlos in 2013 in Lima, Peru early in his career as a Spanish Teacher. It was obvious then of his
enthusiasm, professionalism and dedication to his craft. I was just starting out learning Spanish, and
Carlos’ lessons were fun, engaging and made my experience of learning Spanish both efficient and
enjoyable.” - Sam, Australia
The best.
“In only one month, Carlos helped me improve my conversational skills better than any Spanish
class I had taken in university. I highly recommend Carlos! I am very happy to rate Carlos five stars
as a Spanish teacher. I took intermediate Spanish classes with him 20 hours/week for four weeks,
and it went by so quickly! I was even looking forward to class every day which is rare for me to
say.” - Kharissa, United States
“Do you want to learn Spanish? Then Carlos is the teacher you need! Kind, passionate,
competent, fun, patient, my Spanish level skyrocketed!”
- Sylvi, Switzerland
“To the most paciente teacher!
When I met Carlos my Spanish level was not perfect and I have to tell that I’m not the
excellent student, as I have a big family I did not have a lot of time to do all my homework. But Carlos
was always finding material to make easier for me. So he always brought me little and very informative
material and he had so much patience. He is amazing person, always smiling and when you see him
and the way that he explains you want to study too.” Lala, Azerbaiyán

Marilyn’s Students are saying
The best.
I have been studying Spanish for a long time, lived in México for five years in the early 2000s, was able
to communicate with friends. But my Spanish listening and speaking skills were weak. I have real
difficulty with that part – the most important part – of learning Spanish. - Michael, United States
Learning Spanish with Marilyn Montoro was a delight.
I had private lessons with her for a little over two months and I learned so much!
She has a nice, structured approach to teaching the language, combined with a lot of conversation
on a wide variety of topics. I highly recommend her. - Tema, Canada
Great teacher.
I worked with Marilyn for several months while living and working in Peru. Her course curriculum was
well suited to my business and professional needs. Her approach incorporated colloquial phrases,
which really helped with communication and kept the classes interesting. She takes her job very
seriously and I would recommend her for either professional or casual Spanish lessons.
- Scott, United States

“I am taking Spanish classes with "Spanish your way" since more than a year and I couldn't be happier.
My teacher is working highly professional and she always comes up with new, creative methods to
make sure I enjoy the classes. She creates a comfortable atmosphere so I am never afraid to speak
and practice the language. Other than that, she is not only a teacher to me but she became a dear
friend I am always looking forward to my classes and I feel like I make good progess with the language. I can highly recommend them!” - Louisa S, Germany
“I was lucky enough to be assigned Marilyn as my Spanish teacher when I began this learning
experience. Marilyn was the perfect teacher for me as she adjusted the learning pace and style for
me, she was always very professional in her manner but was also able to ensure the experience
was fun.” - Susan G, New Zealand
“I have been learning Spanish for several years, with the goal of becoming conversational. Professor
Marilyn Montoro has been my instructor for the past four months. My comfort level and confidence
with Spanish conversation has improved dramatically under Marilyn’s guidance. She is unwaveringly
patient and encouraging. We work on grammar, usage and vocabulary to advance my linguistic
understanding.”
However, she allows me freedom to charge forward in conversation on varied subject matter, pausing
with corrections only to reinforce lessons already taught, and to help me recover when I go off the
rails. Succinctly, it is a pleasure to converse with Marilyn, while being aware that she is strategically
and methodically teaching me the Spanish language. I highly recommend Professor Montoro.
I have taken private Spanish lessons with Marilyn both in a classroom and online and she is fantastic.
She can answer any grammatical questions you may have (from very basic all the way to very advanced)
in a very simple and uncomplicated manner. In the beginning, I had a lot of trouble speaking because
I'm very shy but she is very encouraging and funny which made things a lot easier and the learning
experience much more enriching. I started taking lessons with her as a beginner and now I am B1-B2
level and use Spanish for work so I am very grateful to her!! - Scott, United States
