"I hired Ms. Miranda for private session to help me brush up and hone my conversational skills as well as to review grammar. I feel that she truly understood my needs and was able to tailor her teaching style accordingly. After a series of intensive sessions, I feel that my goal was accomplished and that I improved substantially on my spoken and written skills "

 "...and really enjoy her enthusiasm, approach and knowledge! I split time between New York and Los Angeles and also work with a tutor in New York. I do enjoy working with Lily best due to her three dimensional style... "

"Over the past year I feel that I have been learning and progressing well, as new topics, scenarios and imaginative ideas for learning are always incorporated into the lessons....Dalila strikes an excellent balance between the use of conversational Spanish and grammar, which she teaches using a mixture of practical texts and other is a great related materials to aid understanding"

Katina Glancy  Art Teacher

“I can not begin to tell you how pleased I have been with her teaching…..my Spanish ability was quite limited, having only taken 2 years at the highschool level, Ms. Miranda helped me to catch up to the Spanish 4 level….. In an hour lesson with Ms. Miranda I have learned and stored into permanent memory what would have take me a week to learn in my UCLA Spanish class”

John Siegel – University Student

"....She identified his needs and very creatively sought to meet the goals for the year engaging Ben with activities designed specifically for him. She is a very positive and encouraging teacher with clear and consistent expectations. In addition, she was extremely reliable, honest and easy to deal with from a parent’s perspective."

Carrie Anders  Parent

"I met Dalila through Craig’s list in March of this year.  Dalila contacted me promptly and offered her Spanish language expertise to help me as I was struggling with my classes at Berlitz....,,I felt that my Spanish skills improved dramatically and it was due to her thorough commitment to help me with a personalized program to ensure that the areas and topics that were of most interest to me were covered.  Dalila has been consistent and reliable in her communications and appointments with me, and has also been very accommodating to my schedule. 

Camila Wilkinson -  Film Industry

"...........As a therapist in a county mental health clinic, I need to be able to communicate with monolingual Spanish-speaking clients in order to provide services.  Ms. Miranda helped me become more fluent in the Spanish language so that I am able to communicate with my clients without problems"  

Stacy Atkins MSW- Health Care

"...I was tired of learning Spanish just for travelers  ... Dalila really knows what she is doing and has a great ability to set up the curriculum that I need for my business. She is just amazing….I can't believe I found her on Craigslist!" 

Tara Clark,  Business

"Dalila Miranda proved to be an excellent investment for my husband and I. We had a series of lessons with her to prepare for a trip to Argentina....Dalila tailored her lessons to fit our individual needs. The purpose of our trip was to look at real estate in Buenos Aires. Not only did she verse us in technical terms we would find useful,.....Another aspect of Dalila's instruction we found helpful is her vast knowledge of Central and South American culture. There were a number of times during our trip that we would have been lost were it not for information given to us by Ms. Miranda. This, combined with her hands-on approach to learning, made our time with Dalila invaluable"
