TESTIMONIALS
“Mrs. Buendia has been my Spanish instructor for the better part of six years.
Regardless of the format and the ability of individual students, Mrs. Buendia’s lessons are consistently well prepared and well organized. Importantly, her instruction is always balanced to the ability of her students. Her lessons are always challenging but never overwhelming for learners struggling to master a new language.
Mrs. Buendia’s manner and style are informal and fun, but also firm. I find her patience inexhaustible.
In a word, Mrs. Buendia is a great teacher. I highly recommend her as a Spanishinstructor”

“For several years Nora was my teacher of Spanish in private classes, and I highly recommend her.
Nora is an educated Latin journalist who now helps students learn Spanish in a direct and efficient manner. Her pronunciation is clear, and she helped me gain fluency at a level sufficient to read, write, and most importantly to converse in Spanish.
She is a charming person with a sense of humor and her patience was a great help to me in feeling relaxed during our classes”

“Among all the Spanish teachers I have had in the last 10 years, Nora is by far one of my favorite teachers. In the advanced Spanish class, I took with her, we had plenty of opportunities to speak and be corrected, while learning new grammatical rules”

“I was a student of Nora for approximately two years. I have had many tutors and teachers throughout the years and have left many of them, however, the only reason I am not with Nora now is that she "left" me when she moved. Many teachers during class tend to have lengthy conversations about the student's lives or the news which did not serve me because I wanted to focus on grammar, while Nora has an excellent ability to explain grammar. In addition, Nora excelled at both grammar and conversation. Finally, Nora is a wonderful person and is consistently reliable and trustworthy, and you would be lucky to have her! Please let me know if I can be of further assistance”

"I was a student of Nora few years in Spanish Now in Bethesda. She is a VERY organized, passionate, consistent and determined Spanish teacher. She always starts our class on time. First, the text book. We did some exercise in the class, and she let us do the rest of the exercises as homework. Then we either go to free talk or talk about the assigned video which was the homework week before. Her class schedule was very consistent and organized. Always good amount of homework. Always this week's class homework is corrected next week so that we could remember the mistakes.
I say this out loud. I highly recommend her. If you have her, you should consider yourself very lucky. She is such a great Spanish teacher. Nora, thanks for everything you've done. Good luck to find a great school you can teach. You will be missed by your Wednesday 10:30am class forever”
