Fredy is wonderful. He finds a way to stay excited and energetic throughout the evening, which is important for me because I take the course after work so I'm not at my peak of attentiveness. He also is great at concentrating on pronunciation and works with us patiently until we get the pronunciation correct. I also commend Cactus for the size of the class because it's important to not have an unmanageable amount of people in a beginner's language course.
I really like the teacher and the methods he uses to teach from different angels in practicing what we learned.
It makes a big difference when the teacher is motivating us and we enjoy and couldn't wait for the class every week.
The location is also very good in Tribeca.
The Spanish teacher is great, she is organized and very patient.
Having a class once a week is also convenient.
I liked the class in general. It was fun, energetic and a good place to learn. And the instructor, Thibeaut, was one of the best instructor I have had, in any subject. That guy knows his stuff.
(Apr 2010 )Victoria is an amazing teacher....patient, knowledgeable, chooses exercises that provide a good fundamental understanding of the Spanish language....you should definitely keep her around.
(Mar 2010 Spanish Evening Course 10 weeks Tues)Gisela is great. She gives a good mix of oral and written exercises and she uses the whiteboard regularly, which really helps. I'm definitely going to take the next level if Gisela is my instructor.
(Mar 2010 Spanish Evening Course 10 weeks Tues)Enrique is an excellent teacher - very patient and very good at helping us understand. His homework assignments are great and so is his help with pronunciation.
(Mar 2010 Spanish Evening Course 10 weeks )Very qualified teacher was always ready for classes. Teacher was very supportive, understanding and helpful. All classes started on time. The cactus administration is also very helpful. In a word, it was an enjoying experience!!!
(Mar 2010 Spanish Evening Course 10 weeks )Alice is very good, the course is relaxed and she goes with the flow, following up on questions that the students have brought up. We are far more advanced than what I thought a beginners course would be like. That is good because we have all had some exposure to Brazilian Portuguese
(Apr 2010 )I have attended two classes with Alice already. She is an exceptional instructor, and I am really glad that I signed up with Cactus. I am really looking forward to learning a lot of useful Portuguese with her.
(Apr 2010 )I speak Russian and English and first time in my life I have so much fun studying a new language. I like the teacher - patient, positive, knowledgeable and really passionate about teaching Spanish, I also like the structure of the lessons and the progress we are all having.
(Apr 2010 )Classes are small and it is a lot of fun!
(Apr 2010 )My teacher was superb - really great experience, I wish they would relax the 4-person minimum per group for a new class, because I would love to have continued to the Intermediate Brazilian Portuguese but there were not enough people interested...
(Apr 2010 )I think Fabrice is a great teacher overall! He makes you feel as comfortable in class. He is very friendly and sociable too. He is also very smart!!
(Apr 2010 )I am very happy to be taking this course - the class size is very good and I am very happy that the instructor, Fatima Mesquita is very good at describing both idiom and context in the language.
(Apr 2010 )The course is going well; I will sign up for the next one. I would endorse Fabrice to be teacher for next course well. Overall he is very good teacher and makes the classes as fun as possible.
(Apr 2010 )The teacher was good, a lot of fun and created a comfortable learning environment.
(Apr 2010 )I really enjoyed the first class and I'm looking forward to the rest of them! I found Fabrice very pleasant and his approach to teaching is really straightforward and fun. Absolutely no complaints!
