Writting about your experience
Zayra is that light we all want to see at the end of the language tunnel. When I sought to learn Spanish I knew I could achieve a lot in four weeks, but I never knew I had the capacity to manage the idiom at the high level that I did after being Zayra´s student. Her natural energy and positive attitude are just the beginning for those of us looking for a learning environment that is validating and creative. The core of Zayra´s talent is that she is a professional - her training, her outstanding grasp of pedagogy, and her learning materials provide a solid platform from which to learn, develop and master Spanish. Furthermore, Zayra has the gift of listening. She is able to quickly identify the needs of each of her students so that her classes focus on exactly what is needed each of us. It is customized from the moment you meet her. Zayra is really the individual teacher so many of us dream of when we look for the learning environment that is perfect for each of us. Enjoy!

Zayra es una persona inteligente y simpática. Yo trabajé con ella tres semanas cuando estaba en una escuela de español en Quito y ella fue la profesora más útil a mí. Su estilo para enseñar es claro, organizado y paciente. Yo aprendí mucho con ella y me gustaba mucho trabajar con ella. Todos los estudiantes de la escuela estaban de acuerdo que Zayra era la profesora más fácil de comprender y que con ella las personas aprendían mucho.

Zayra is an exceptional Spanish teacher, one of the best that Quito has to offer. I studied with Zayra for two weeks during the summer of 2006. We met every morning for four hours. I was very impressed by Zayra's strong organization and pedagogy. She had a clear idea of what she wanted me to learn each day, and reinforced the lessons with engaging activities and relevant homework. Her energy and enthusiasm was infectious, and learning Spanish with her was both challenging and fun. My Spanish improved significantly in the short time I was with her. Zayra would correct every single mistake I made, no matter how small, which is a rare trait in a teacher. She also introduced me to a famous Spanish novel entitled "The Alchemist" by Paulo Coehlo, which I managed to finish during our short time together. It was the first Spanish novel I had read, and I felt a huge sense of accomplishment to have completed it. Zayra went so far as to meet with me outside of class to discuss the book and help me understand difficult passages that I had trouble with. Prior to studying with Zayra, I had gone to two other schools and met with five other professors in an effort to find a good teacher, but had always left disappointed. Zayra was the one teacher I studied under who far surpassed my expectations. I only wish I had more time to learn from her, as I have no doubt that she would have helped me to achieve fluency in Spanish within a year. I give Zayra my absolute highest recommendation as a Spanish teacher!
