Testimonials
"As a native Spanish speaker, I've attempted to introduce Spanish to my young children, but it wasn't until they began Puro Spanish classes at school that my 3- and 5 -year-olds became excited to actively practice their skills. Señora Torres creates a fun and engaging environment where they learn fundamentals through song and movement while empowering parents to support the learning at home. They'd be the first to tell you that Puro Spanish is 'excelente!'"
— Nickol Mora, Parent, Kennedy Heights Montessori Center
“Puro Spanish worked with us to identify our Spanish language needs for critical staff members and develop a learning plan that works for them. Maria Fernanda is fantastic and helped them to build their confidence, improve their speaking skills, and help us move towards being a more bilingual team.”
— Amy Doherty, Vice President of Operations, Galápagos Conservancy
“Maria-Fernanda took the time to understand our goals for Spanish lessons, then designed a curriculum that was a perfect fit. The class was very engaging and a lot of fun. By the end of our nine-class session, we were all able to enjoy basic conversations with our Spanish-speaking team members. Maria-Fernanda gave us the tools and direction to continue to develop our skills well into the future. Gracias Maestra!”
— Andrew Sontag, Area Manager, Smurfit Westrock
“My kids are thriving in their Puro Spanish lessons with Fernanda! It has been amazing to see how quickly they have picked up on vocabulary through her use of interactive activities. They clearly love their lessons and come home each week singing a new song on repeat. They love telling everyone we see now that they can speak Spanish - and we are excited to continue watching them grow!”
— Stephanie Blombach, Parent, Kennedy Heights Montessori Center
