I have been taking Spanish lessons for over a year, the best results I’ve had was with Spanish Blackbelt. The teacher was exceptional and I spent all of the sessions speaking Spanish. Highly recommend this organization.

I had such a great experience over my 4 months of spanish so far with Ana! The small group size is perfect and the other folks in the class have been a great mix of personalities. I was a little nervous to sign up at first with the classes meeting at a Starbucks rather than a school, but I wouldnt change a thing. It has been far superior to the university evening course I took previously and I am feeling more and more confident in my spanish every week.

I have truly enjoyed my Spanish Blackbelt classes with Mariela PH. She does a great job of mixing everyday conversation with teaching the grammar and vocabulary that goes along with learning a language. My Spanish classes are the best part of the week. I enjoy getting to practice my everyday conversation along with learning new ways to express myself.

Finished my first session with Mariela. She is great! - helpful and knowledgeable and hard-working. Logistics are easy. Will be starting second session in a week!

My tutor, Edgar, was fun and engaging to talk and learn with. If you put the work into this, its a lot of fun and very rewarding. Like going to a coffeshop just to chat with a friend.

Great experience. Angelica is an excellent teacher. I highly recommend Blackbelt.

I absolutely love Spanish blackbelt! Maria Elena is a great teacher and I would highly recommend her! She gives out great advice, makes me feel comfortable and encourages me. Spanish Blackbelt also has great resources for learning.

The materials are terrible. Beyond horrible. The explanations are terrible and the homework is a joke. And, if you want additional practice, you have to pay to access additional materials on the internet. That is a terrible business practice. I already paid for my lessons, to then gauge me for more money, is annoying. Also, you meet with your teacher at a local coffee shop. Because of this, I felt obligated to buy something to drink, increasing the price. In addition, the coffee shops are often crowded and noisy, making it hard to concentrate and hear your teacher. Or, on the other hand, I felt like we were disturbing other patrons who were trying to quietly read or study.The teacher to whom I was assigned was nice and I enjoyed working with the teacher who tried his/her best to make up for the terrible materials. But, I would not use this company again. There are plenty of other options. If you are considering this company, I would make sure to look at the materials first and make your own judgment of whether it makes sense for you.

I have now taken three 8-week sessions with Spanish BlackBelt. I have been very satisfied. Mariela is an excellent instructor. She is always on time and prepared for my class. She is patient with me when I find something difficult to understand. Some of the on line tools for Spanish Black Belt are too brief. Some need more depth to understand the concept, but my instructor, Mariela, has been able to provide that. In particular, private lessons work for me because my schedule is difficult and with private lessons, we are able to adjust the schedule to meet my needs.

I was born in the US and have never spoken another language, having only taken entry level classes in high school. As it turns out my wife is from Ecuador and the majority of her family only speaks Spanish so learning the language has become a real priority.After trying a few different options, Spanish Blackbelt in Denver was the only thing that stuck! Spanish black belt has classes that are the right size to truly promote learning and their teachers force you to speak and learn the language while maintaining a fun and encouraging environment.Muchos Gracias Spanish Blackbelt!

My experience over the last 3 months with Mariela has been incredible. She is the best Spanish instructor I have ever known. Her professionalism, experience, and knowledge of the language far surpasses any other instructors from similar organizations like Spanish Blackbelt. The structure and tools that SBB provides helps with motivation and learning the language at my own pace. Where I feel SBB is weak, compared to the other organizations Ive learned from, is the lack of detail in teaching materials for each level. They could also provide more in depth exercises and testing opportunities, such as fill-in-the-blank, than is currently provided. Luckily Mariela has been able to find materials that provide this or else I wouldnt be able to retain everything in their lessons.

I have been taking private lessons from Mariela for about 4 months. I have learned quite a bit from her. Prior to Mariela and SBB I had taken online courses and CD type listening courses to try and learn Spanish. I had a lot of basic Spanish skills that I acquired from these courses but nothing was getting me even close to intermediate Spanish. Mariela has taken what I knew and added new course materials and now I am much more confident in my Spanish skills. She is very good and very patient. Every week I learn more and understand better what I had learned previously. I really enjoy our weekly sessions. If you are considering a Spanish tutor, I cannot give her a higher recommendation.

Not only did I get a lot better at Spanish but I also felt like I became friends with my tutor, Edgar, making going to talk with him for two hours something I looked forward to, and will miss in the future.
