What our students say about us

Learning Spanish has been a wonderful experience. It has helped me connect with families which is very important. As my classes continued I could hear more and more confidence in myself when communicating with students and their parents.

Classes with Maddie have helped me to feel more confident especially because I have an auditory processing learning difference. The classes make me feel more capable of listening than I thought! Maddie's feedback and encouragement helps me to feel confident as well.

My brain has gotten bigger. I feel like my mind has opened more as I learn to understand Spanish.

During my classes with Maddie my understanding has increased and I so enjoy the relaxed conversation way of learning.

Our spanish teachers

Maddalena Boomsma

Maddalena learned Spanish the traditional way, in fluorescent lit classrooms with grammar books in Pennsylvania. But she realized she couldn’t communicate after years of formal Spanish classes! Then she moved to a little beach town in México and realized she just needed to start talking!

Through her language learning experience, she fell in love with Spanish and the empowering effect of communicating with no limits. Through years of teaching in formal classroom settings as well as private tutoring, Maddalena has created a method for language mastery that she shares with each and every one of her students.

Teacher magic: By engaging my students on a personal level in every aspect of my lessons, the student and teacher create memories in the target language. By personalizing the grammar and class topics, each student creates a particular connection with the material at hand.

Who is a good fit for me: engaged, curious and committed students who want to connect and open up through classes together.

Location: Tulum, México
