Marlene is an exceptionally gifted language teacher. She gave my husband and I private Spanish lessons. We learned so quickly with her inventive approach. Many people can speak another language but teaching well is another thing. Marlene’s warm and delightful personality, combined with her unique skills, make her the BEST teacher. She makes learning fun and her creative combination of teaching methods keep you engaged and wanting more!

Marlene makes learning language enjoyable. Her friendly and positive nature encourages you to bring out the speaking skills you have and try out new vocabulary and grammar. My class starts with a topical conversation with judicious assistance on difficult expressions. We have many themes we speak about often which feel more like a chat with a friend than a Spanish lesson. The formal part of lesson targets weaknesses in grammar and vocabulary and introduces new topics depending on time. She understands working people are busy and paces homework accordingly, with a little stretch assignment from time-to-time. I recommend Marlene to anyone looking for a fun way to improve their Spanish with personally tailored lessons

Marlene is a gifted teacher. She is talented instructor of Spanish and a wonderful person. Marlene employs a unique style in developing robust conversational skills quickly in her students. From the first lesson, you will speak Spanish. But unlike other methods focused on drilling phrases, she helps her students gain a solid understanding of the grammar and structure of the language, which enables her students to quickly broaden their dialogue with Spanish speakers in a natural setting. Marlene is very personable and easy to talk to, which make her classes fly by. She has a genuine love for teaching and interest in the progress of her students.

Marlene has very unique talent and character to transform her private class to a special space where you can learn Spanish being relaxed but well motivated. If you are a busy business person, you may feel her class is something like oasis during your hectic working day. You may be amazed to feel that 1.5 hours of her class passes very fast, but at the end of the class you will surely have learned speaking, reading and writing skills based on solid knowledge about the grammar. She surely has excellent professional skills and gifted talent as a Spanish tutor. You can feel her love and passion to the language education too. I recommend her with confidence to anyone who wants to improve his/her Spanish language skills.

Brooke Walis
Assistant Director, Sales & Relationship Management at CIC (Cambridge Innovation Center)
I first started taking Spanish classes with Marlene at Language school. I loved her classes so much that I then decided to take private classes with her. As an individual tutor, Marlene gives you all her time and attention, and creates a comfortable, casual learning environment where you feel at ease to speak Spanish. After years of being in the classroom and studying grammar, I finally started speaking conversationally thanks to Marlene and her private classes. I would recommend Marlene to anyone who’s serious about learning Spanish.
