We are SO pleased with our daughter's Spanish lessons. Although she is a native speaker, she has gotten into the bad habit of wanting to speak only in English at home. She started to replace Spanish w... See more

Maria Angelica-
It was good and collaborative despite the length of time.She rephrases the questions in a way I could understand her to be able to answer. She also gave me time to think of my answer and encourages me to answer correctly at ease.

Luisa - First Lesson

Luisa is very friendly, professional and receptive. I'm glad that she's willing to work with me as I practice by talking with her ongoing about telenovela series episodes. She is also a GREAT spokesperson for OCTB. I am thrilled to be her student!

Marta Morón is one of my favorite instructors!

Marta Morón knows that I really want to learn to have simple conversations about work, exercise, hobbies, the news etc, so we practice that twice a week. Every time I get a little more confidence. I still struggle with new words, and she gives me time to work it out, and then helps me when I need it. I learn new words and phrases every time.

Laura Benavides

Laura was great. She used multiple parts of the Google Meet platform to help my comprehension. I felt comfortable moving back and forth from English to Spanish, and she helped me along the way.

Effective Learning

The methodical approach and paying attention to the importance of forming a strong foundation has been very helpful. I am now making progress and can retain more words, grammar, and build correct sentences. Luisa Fernanda Susped Chantre, my instructor, has been great and very patient!

I Believe I Have Finally Found the Platform to Learn Spanish!

At this point, I have no recommendations for improvements. Luisa was a great tutor, She let me try without interrupting and provided. Great feedback.

Valeria, was equally as great. Her presentation of the platform and various learning options were clear and very informative.
Maybe it is because I am in the U.S., but I was prepared for a sales pitch with an attempt to get me to enroll with an attempt to get me to enroll while still talking to, in this case, Valeria.
What a pleasant surprise that the sales pitch was, "this is the platform, this is how it works, these are the various class options, and here's something else you can try so you can decide."
Thank you for not doing this the American way

As for the platform itself, It seems very intuitive and easy to navigate and understand.
I am looking forward to using it much more.

I really want to extend my heartfelt thank you to both Luisa and Valeria for their time and helpfulness. Both were an excellent representation of OTB.

I was really nervous getting into my first lesson but Cecilia Amorena was very patient and helpful and got me off to a great start. I learned a lot and had fun getting into it. I definitely would recommend 10 out of 10. Everyone is nice and positive and it is worth it.
