“Eugene is a gifted teacher and polyglot, and he’s also a lot of fun to learn with! I looked forward to our classes every week, and most importantly, our work together made my time traveling in South America so much more rewarding! I recommend him if you are even thinking about language tutoring, at any level. He is gifted, knowledgeable and very caring and responsive. Recommended!“

“Eugene’s Spanish Group is incredible. The group is designed to encourage real-world conversation, and Eugene facilitates beautifully. He asks interesting questions, sets each class up with a unique theme, and there’s always a little surprise in store. His knowledge, passion and reverence for language and linguistics is equally impressive and inspiring. The class was a transportive experience: each week felt like a one hour getaway to a different place. In the process, I got to know new people, think deeply, and improve my Spanish. What a treat!“

“I enjoyed learning Spanish with Eugene. It is amazing how he speaks so many languages, yet he speaks each language as if that were his native language. It is truly a gift. And he teaches it in a very engaging way, almost always through conversations and descriptions of real life situations, with grammar lessons thrown in strategically! I looked forward to each one of our sessions, and I can say with confidence that these lessons made a big difference to the quality of my trip to Colombia.”

“Buena suerte, Eugene. Espero seguir en contacto contigo.”

“Before working with Eugene, I was a nervous speaker and struggled with angst over reconnecting with Spanish. I’m so grateful to say that is behind me now! Eugene is a sensitive teacher who understands that language learning is an emotional experience where vulnerability and self-expression meet. In every class we had, Eugene was warm and encouraging. It brought so much ease to every conversation. Never short on humor and patience, Eugene is an incredible tutor and I can’t recommend him enough.”

“Eugene’s Spanish class was perfect for me. I was nervous about speaking Spanish in front of others but also eager to get more comfortable doing so. Eugene’s easy-going nature and creative simple games made the practice fun and easy. I felt comfortable and learned a lot. I recommend his class for anyone because he has a way of engaging everyone even at different levels.“

“Eugene is an intuitive, encouraging and engaging language teacher! He helped me to increase my ability to read, write and speak Spanish, step by step, and in creative ways. Highly recommended!”

“Working with Eugene has been wonderful! He is such a great teacher who really cares about his students. I have found some language teachers focus so much on my mistakes that it makes me hesitant to just speak. But Eugene helps to make me feel comfortable and confident even when I’m learning something new. Highly recommend!”

“I had the pleasure of learning Spanish with Eugene and am so grateful for the experience! Eugene’s gentle approach helped me feel comfortable to set my pace to reach my personal language goals. His conversational format was effective in making each lesson engaging and practical. My pronunciation has improved and my vocabulary expanded thanks to his guidance. Eugene is very friendly and creates a comfortable and fun space to learn languages in a way that’s suited to your schedule, lifestyle, budget, and goals. I highly recommend him to those looking to explore new languages.”

Eugene’s lessons are awesome! I really look forward to them every week. Eugene is a super kind teacher who is always very patient when I’m struggling to get words out with more fluidity. There is great variety in terms of language activities and practice, and I always feel excited to sit down and speak French in our lessons because I know it’s going to be a lot of fun. Five stars! Always excited to keep learning with Eugene!

“Eugene teaches in a way that is both practical and intuitive: he suggested a focus for each class, and he adapted the lessons to fit my learning style. I teach college courses, and I really appreciate good teachers, like Eugene. He helped me improve my vocabulary and grammar. He is a kind and encouraging teacher.”
