MASTER Spanish with Dena Marie!

Of all my Spanish teachers, Dena has been the best. Her clear insights on Spanish grammar for native English speakers and her fun style make her lessons unforgettable!

I have been a student of Dena’s for more than a year. She is a natural and gifted teacher. Her patience and encouragement keep me motivated and enthusiastic. I have gone from beginner to advanced intermediate so far. Don’t waste your time looking for another Spanish teacher. You have a master right here.

Dena’s pedagogy is so outstanding–multiple modalities, an intuitive understanding of where her students are and translating just when it’s needed, and sooo much more. The respect she shows for us as we’re learning–speaking naturally and at a speed that isn’t patronizing, reveling in our ideas, the clarity of her explanations and her enthusiasm in the process. It is such a distinct pleasure to be in the company of so many learners who recognize our fortune in being one of Dena’s many students. Thank you a million times over!

Kay D., Advanced

Dena has been an amazing Spanish teacher because she helped me truly comprehend the language. She was very patient when I didn’t know something and would work through challenging topics with me. Without Dena I don’t think I would have been able to finish Spanish 3 on my own with such success, and I looked forward to our meetings every time!

I have been working with Dena since 2018. She is an amazing teacher. I was an intermediate-level speaker when I started with her and am now at a superior level, equivalent to college literature courses. She is the best teacher of Spanish grammar I have ever encountered. She is energetic, knowledgeable, fun and extremely competent. I can’t recommend her highly enough!

Dee A.R., Superior

After decades of frustration trying to learn Spanish in school, online, and with private teachers, things finally clicked when I started lessons with Dena Marie. With her help, I advanced from beginner to high-intermediate, prepared for independent travel and full conversations in Spanish-speaking countries. Dena is adept at teaching different types of learners, including those like me who’ve always struggled to learn a second language. Her classes are fun and stress-free.

Working with Dena during my elementary school Spanish curriculum and later during my high school AP Spanish course was a wonderful and informative experience for me. Whenever I was confused or had questions, I always felt comfortable seeking clarification, and my questions were never left unanswered. Dena helped me drastically improve my Spanish skills and conversational confidence.
