With no Spanish language capacity other than "por favor," "gracias" and "baño," a year and a half ago two friends and I visited Oaxaca for 10 days. We met with Flor as our private tutor for 2 hours, every other day. After our first meeting with her, we spoke only Spanish in her presence...actual sentences! Working with her was amazing and joyful. Our experience with this delightful, intelligent and talented teacher launched each of us on a dedicated Spanish language journey. Now we are back in Oaxaca again...speaking our way through art classes, markets, and 5 weeks of living among Oaxaqueños. And, of course, there are our phenomonal afternoons of learning and laughing with Flor!

I love working with Flor. She is a born teacher who combines an intelligent approach to her craft with kindness and a sense of humour.
A native Oaxaquenan, Flor has a thorough knowledge of the customs and culture of the area, which she is always ready to share generously with her students.

Flor's method begins with discovering your individual needs. Her flexible approach allows her to tailor a program which addresses the areas where you need to improve. The magic happens when she accomplishes all of that with humour, grace, and patience. When I return to Oaxaca I will definitely study with Flor again.

Having studied seven languages, I can say that the teachers I had at Oaxaca Spanish Magic were among the best I've ever had; demanding and patient, hardworking and thoughtful. They whipped my Spanish into shape in three weeks to the point that I'll now be able to really meet and talk to the people of Mexico and Central America as I continue a long drive south.

After studying Spanish for four months at Oaxaca Spanish Magic, my high school boys, who had no Spanish, have qualified for 2nd semester college Spanish. Their college teacher expressed surprise that they were able to acquire such good fluency in such a short time. The boys see themselves as Spanish speakers thanks to the skills of the talented and caring teachers at Oaxaca Spanish Magic. Alberto was expecially wonderful in teaching them not only Spanish but also got them to dance salsa and take Tae Kwan Do classes.
I can't say enough good things about Flor: her skills, her encouragement and care not only for our learning Spanish but for our happiness. We took wonderful field trips to experience colorful markets, to participate in local festivities including the meaningful Day of the Dead celebration. To learn Spanish, come to Oaxaca Spanish Magic where you will nto only learn language and culture but will also have fun.

Muchas gracias por me enseñabas Español. Estoy feliz porque en seis semanas mi Español se mejora. ¿Recuerdas nuestra primera clase? Ahora, puedo hablar y escuchar y comrendar mucho mejor. Voy a regressar a mi pais con una fundación buena. Espero que voy a usar mi esañol en una iglesia este año.

My only regret about visiting Oaxaca for 5 months is that I didn't find you soomer I learned more in 5 weeks than I did at another school in 3 months! I will remember all the fun we had together.

A professor finds a professor for herself
Flor Irene is a wonderful teacher. I began to think so when, during my first class, she asked me to write a few paragraphs in Spanish identifying my weaknesses in the use of the language. To my list she added her own observations and then designed classes (interactions not lectures) that addressed my particular needs. Over the years I’ve studied with a good many teachers. Flor is one of the finest I’ve known.

Gracias Flor! You and your staff provided thorough and organized lessons in an atmosphere of total pleasure. Your energy and concern ad the small classes made this the best learning and living experience possible. As a professor myself, I feel I found MY professor.

Me encantó el tiempo que he pasado en Oaxaca, me habria gustado pasar mas semanas con Flor porque creo que es la mejor maestra, ahora tengo la habilidad para hablar con mas fluidez, comprendo mucho mas que cuando llegué, y ahora no tengo miedo de hablar, ahora tengo muchos amigos oaxaqueños, si tuviera la oportunidad de estudiar con Flor otra vez lo haria.
