Thanks for all the teaching.  Every time a patient understands me and I them, I am again greatful to you.
Dr. Keren Call, M.D.   The Children's Hospital

I was a private Spanish student of yours many years ago. 
Your classes helped me to work in Mexico for 6 years selling parts and equipment to mining personnel in the mines and at corporate offices in Mexico City.
Speaking Spanish has become a lifelong experience and enjoyment.  You are a big part of that and I thank you.
With Guillermo's solid approach and my belief in him, I am now able to speak Spanish all day.
Richard Watson  President of Watson Mills,  Boulder

I really look forward to my Spanish lessons with you.  My daughter wants to start taking lessons now.
