What families say

“Margaret has been wonderful to work with and has instilled a love of the language in my son. His written and verbal skills progressed so rapidly under her tutorage that he skipped a level and completed all high school Spanish available to him by his junior year. While grades weren’t our objective, his grades were exceptional and he got a 5 on his Spanish AP.” — M.R.

“Margaret, thanks for another great year. Spanish has become one of M’s strengths. In our last parent-teacher meeting, his teacher said that he has grown considerably and is exhibiting mastery in many areas. Thanks for all the support this year! We’d love to continue next year!” — M.H., Nueva School, San Mateo CA

“She is patient, encouraging, and makes learning fun..N.S. looks forward to her tutoring sessions with Margaret every week, which says everything about the positive impact Margaret has had. We’re so grateful for her support.” — N.S., Aragon High School, San Mateo CA
