I am a Native Texan who only speaks English and I'm currently learning beginner Spanish with Raciel. I have studied on my own, but never practiced speaking Spanish due to being afraid of saying something wrong. Raciel is patient as I struggle pronouncing Spanish words with my slow Texas accent. By struggle I mean repeating the same word 3 to 5 times!  I've never thought in another language before and Raciel helps me distinguish the differences between Spanish and English. I feel comfortable making mistakes speaking Spanish in our lessons.  I can only imagine the situations I would be in by practicing my Spanish out and about.  I have built more confidence in speaking Spanish with Raciel than I have doing book work or in any Spanish Class.  I am positive in the coming months I will be able to hold casual conversation thanks to Raciel's lessons.

Raciel is a great teacher! I have been working with Raciel regularly for a couple of months now and he continues to impress me with his ability to hone in on areas where I need to grow, and then with patience, kindness, and quality instruction - help me improve in those areas. I owe a great deal of my success in Spanish to Raciel's teaching.

La lección fue muy útil. Raciél me ayudó a desarrolar una mejor comprensión de los verbos reflexivos, subjunctivos y más. Él es paciente y por eso me doy gracias.

Extremely patient, kind, and cares about the whole student. Raciel adapts each lesson to the individual needs of the student. After lessons with five other instructors, I found Raciel and will only book with him.

Challenging, but good!

Raciel is an amazing teacher and an amazing person.
