Graciela makes sure you get your lessons when there are technical problems. She never misses a beat and works right through the problems. We finally were able to do the lesson with no more technical problems and it was even fun while waiting to get things fixed. I can't wait for our next session (without technical problems : ))
Graciela had meaningful exercises that reinforced the lesson. My session was a one on one class and that worked well for me.
We had another great class. Graciela is great with helping build vocabulary. She makes every session fun and you never notice you are learning and how much you have learned. I learn a lot each session and it sticks with me because of the way she incorporates vocabulary into the lesson. I can't wait until our next session.
Great class. Graciela is a unbelievably dedicated teacher. She will go out of her way to make your learning experience a good one.

Graciea's tutoring session was great. I learned things about the Argentine culture and we worked on verbs (my problem area) which is exactly what I needed.

I can't wait for the next one.

Graciela kept me captivated for the entire hour. She was well prepared and had many exercises that kept me focused. All I had to do was let her take over and guide me.

Today was my first edufire class. OMG! I didn't know what I had been missing! The multimedia training with Adobe Connect went way beyond my expectations. I was quite impressed, and the class was quite a show (especially on my 30" computer monitor). Also, not only was Graciela an excellent teacher and communicator, she was lots of fun and laughs, which is important when you're learning. I look forward to taking many more classes with Graciela. If anybody would like more information about my experience, please feel free to contact me and I'll happily provide a reference. I'm going to recommend edufire and Graciela to my friends.
I chose Graciela for my first edufire session and it was a success! I was nervous but I quickly became comfortable, I was able to have fun and learn at the same time. She is a skilled and patient teacher. I would highly recommend her.
