I cannot say enough great things about Sombrero Time…read more From the very first phone call I felt this was a very professionally run program. David explained their philosophy & curriculum, and made sure we were a good fit for what they offered- this is not just an after-school free play program. We were invited to sit in on a class, which we did. There is a fully printed & bound curriculum workbook that coincides with the daily lesson plans. They have their own printed posters & supplies (nothing is cheaply thrown together here). The teachers are topnotch bilingual & trained- which I personally appreciated as there are other programs that just think because someone speaks Spanish, that automatically qualifies them to teach. Not so. Most importantly is that my daughter enjoys going to Spanish. I was worried that she'd get burnt out or bored and that it would become pulling teeth to get her to go. NOT EVEN CLOSE! The curriculum is engaging & interesting, her teacher is responsive and encouraging, the class size is small and the children are friendly. We are 4 months in, and my daughter sings in Spanish, teaches ME Spanish words, translates material, talks to others and orders her own food at Mexican restaurants in Español. We feel very much welcomed & at home here. David & Ruth are some of the most sincere and inviting people you will meet. It has been worth it!

Sombrero Time is an excellent full immersion Spanish Language program for kids ages K-6 Grade. My…read moredaughter has been attending ST for 5 years and I am amazed at the Spanish she can speak, write, and understand. We recently went on a family trip to Costa Rica and she was interacting the the locals and acting as our interpreter the entire time. The structure in the ST classroom (full immersion, no English spoken) enables the kids to think in Spanish as they learn, rather than translate the English words into the Spanish words in their brains. The teachers are all native speakers which means the kids are learning proper accents and enunciation. The curriculum is tailored to the kids' level and is clearly communicated to the parents at the beginning of the year and throughout the year. There are also several presentations per year where the kids present on various subjects, as well as progress reports given to parents. Overall, a phenomenal program and I would highly recommend it.

I've been taking lessons with Ina once a week for several years. I learned Spanish as a child, but…read morehadn't taken more than beginner lessons. Ina has gently and very patiently helped me to break some bad grammatical habits that I'd previously picked up as a result of not having had much formal training. My comprehension and vocabulary in Spanish have increased through practice speaking to her.

She proceeded to take my call... before the call I messaged her if it was okay to call her at the time agreed. She said yes, as soon as I called her she was ending a session and was so very rude and dismissive.. she told me that she wouldn't have availability and to call her next month. I told her I am Mexican and pretty much know some and have people around me who speak Spanish.. she rudely rushed me off the phone and said no sorry nothing available and hung up in my face. I think these reviews are paid because my experience off of a 3 minute phone call was unbelievable! So sad, she sounded like she hates what she does. :/
