Maestro Porter is extremely knowledge and patient. I enjoyed his class very much.

I am taking beginner Spanish class with Maestro Porter. In the first class, he evaluated my Spanish level, and made concrete learning plans for me. He focused on improving my Spanish pronunciations. We started with different sounds, and he was able to not only identify my mistakes and improvements very well, but also come up with useful exercises for me to practice. He is knowledgeable, funny and enthusiastic about languages. I am looking forward to learning more from him.

He was very flexible with the teaching, it was very fluid and natural. I can use duolingo all day long, but I feel like making it a conversation was very, very helpful. He explained not only the origin of the words, but the culture behind the language and demonstrated how languages vary. I would love to be able to continue forward with him.

He was informative, friendly and upbeat.
