Le Tutor Language School

I like my Spanish Intermediate classes at Le Tutor. It’s pretty fun. We have a great teacher in my class (Mirtha). She shares a lot of topical cultural information from her life which I find to be priceless really.
We follow a syllabus in class but there is a lot of flexibility to ask questions and get help with any individual subject area you may be interested in. We practice talking a lot in class. We have also had writing assignments and had to actually do little class presentations in Spanish. There is homework every class. I let my teacher know that I was particularly interested in the grammar rules and verb tenses and she goes over those things and also answers a lot of questions for me.
I’ve had to miss a few classes due to work and its not a problem.

My wife and I needed to refresh our spanish skills for wedding in Mexico this last spring. We decided to use Le Tutor because of their flexibility and understanding of our situation. We had both taken spanish classes in the past, but much of it was lost without use. Our goals were gaining better conversational understanding and having the abilities to ask questions including costs and getting directions.
We met with the owner, Aaron, to identify our needs and he aligned us with an appropriate teacher, Nancy. She met with us on our schedule and was very accommodating and knowledgable. During the course of our tutoring sessions, Nancy introduced us to additional tools for us to continue learning in addition to her sessions as needed.
Because of the learning we gained from Nancy and Le Tutor, we were able to use taxis and buy food easily. I was confident in asking for directions and other details during our 10-​day trip to Mexico City and San Miguel. Our language classes from Nancy and Le Tutor lessoned our language-​barrier anxiety and made our trip very enjoyable.
Thanks guys!

If you are serious about beginning to study a foreign language in a group class, I would avoid this place.
1. After your free initial lesson you are asked to sign a 6 month contract with no way to cancel. The school can and will change anything they want and you have to sit there and take it.
2. When I began the class it was me and one other person enrolled and this made the tuition seem reasonable. Two months into the session the class doubled. After three months there were ten. That means that halfway through my session they added people with no experience to a class where everyone else had been studying for months.
3. The official curriculum is a joke. The exercises make little sense with almost all attention paid to learning nouns. The weakness of the curriculum seems designed to make the dumping of new people into existing classes easier. The lessons do not build off of one another so they can throw new people in at any time. This policy clearly demonstrates that they do not believe any of the lessons are prerequisites for the others. Paying $ 125 a month to sit in a class and accomplish what could be done for free with flash cards is quite aggravating.
The bottom line here is that the business model of the school is inherently flawed in a way that maximizes their profits while minimizing your education.
Save your money and buy Rosetta Stone or pony up the cash for a private tutor.

Not very good at all! Had a private instructor who was good but she quit a few weeks in. Started with a new instructor who was not good and couldn’t speak English very well, let alone had no experience teaching. They continued to charge me even when their instructor quit!!! I was locked into a contract and only received half my tuition hack when I was not satisfied. Office staff never returned calls timely, taking as long as 3 weeks to get back to my repeated requests!!! Poorly run and managed, I would consider using a more experienced school, or hiring your own private tutor for about 25% of the cost, especially for Spanish, since they are everywhere in Arizona”

Our 5-​year-​old daughter takes private Spanish lessons from Mirtha and loves it. Mommy and daddy couldn’t be happier with Le Tutor. Our daughter’s Spanish is advancing quickly, mostly due to the techniques of the teacher who caters to her level and learning style. Le Tutor itself is professional and approachable. Just the other day I received a call from the teacher coordinator who wanted to make sure that we were happy with our daughter’s lessons and to solicit any necessary feedback. Whenever I call or write the school, I hear back from them immediately. I would highly recommend Le Tutor if you are interested in your child learning a second language.

Called to inquire about the program and the gentleman (use this term loosely) was rude when I started to ask questions about the tuition costs and contract. Also, asked to have the actual instructor call me so that I could ask her about her personal experience with teaching the language. Who would ever sign up for a class without checking out the credentials of the person teaching? There are many other places /​tutors willing to teach without the bull#&%$.
