Perla has supported both my teenage children in learning Spanish . She is very personable and pleasant to be around. Her teaching skills are amazing and I can say that my children have benefited immensely from day one . We live in Fremont and did not mind driving to Pleasanton, because she is the best in the area . read more

I recently reached out to Ms Perla, based on Yelp reviews, to help my college-going daughter clear her Spanish 3 proficiency test. She needed urgent help to clear the language requirement to graduate and had 7-10 Days to prep. Ms Perla was so gracious, kind and said she would prepare a custom curriculum to tutor my daughter. She met with my daughter daily for an hour and gave her various materials to prepare. My daughter had not really touched Spanish in four years. Ms Perla was very encouraging, optimistic and has a can-do spirit. Her materials and tutoring were fantastic. My daughter enjoyed her time with Ms Perla and we are very thankful to her. She passed the proficiency test. I would highly recommend Ms Perla to anyone looking for help with Spanish. read more

Perla is amazing! She makes learning Spanish fun for my two children (3rd grade and kinder). They love going to see Perla, and Perla does a great job keeping us updated on their progress! Highly recommend! read more

Mrs. Perla is an amazing teacher, and she values her students greatly. I strongly recommend learning here.

¡Totalmente Fantastico! Perla is wonderful. She is professional, approachable and very kind. Scheduling sessions is simple. Her facility is clean and welcoming as well as conveniently located in Downtown Pleasanton. She is quick to learn and understand her student's needs and goals. My 2nd grader found her to be fun, engaging and encouraging. Our entire experience was excellent. Five (very bright) stars! read more

Quick response and helped my daughter prepare for her AP Spanish test. She enjoyed her tutoring and felt prepared.

My daughter started tutoring with Perla and Lupita 2x per week in Feb/Mar when her Spanish 2 grade was a D+. She was struggling and frustrated. Three months later, not only does she have a much better grasp of the material but also, she's enjoying the class. That's evident in her improved performance on assignments, quizzes and overall class grade to a B. We are VERY GRATEFUL to Perla and Lupita for their hard work and intend to continue working with them for the next school year. Thank you again!!! read more

This is a great school. Perla and Ms Carolina really care about their students. My daughter urgently needed to take Spanish tutoring as she was close to getting an F. Unfortunately I came to know about it only a month before the end of semester. I searched around and found Perla's school. She was eager to help. We made a schedule for my daughter to take two classes a week. Her teacher was Ms Carolina. She did a wonderful job of coaching and preparing my daughter. After an intense period of studying for a month my daughter was able to get a passing grade - thanks to the efforts of Ms Carolina and Perla. Thank you so much. I couldn't have found a better teacher! read more

I started to be tutored by Perla at 6 years old and only stopped after I completed AP Spanish 5 in high school. I am now 22 and have a minor in Hispanic Studies from Pepperdine University and I owe it all to her. She is the kindest, most patient teacher you could ask for. Even in college, Perla would help me with any question I ever had. She would look over my essays all out of an abundance of love and kindness she inherently possesses. She is honestly like a second mom to me and has been such a blessing in my family's life. If your child needs help in Spanish this is the place you need to go! She is the most amazing woman and if I could give an infinite amount of stars I would. read more

Perla Spanish Tutoring Center - Tutoring Centers Near Me - Pleasanton, California

My children have been attending this tutoring school for five years and the experience has been great! Both my kids had previously attended immersion schools and, thanks to Perla, they have been able to continue learning Spanish while attending English-only schools. Perla and her team are so kind and patient with their students. They work to the level of each child and help them feel successful by using a variety of activities to keep them engaged and improving their Spanish listening, speaking, reading and writing skills. Perla has been so great to work with! I highly recommend her tutoring center! read more

Absolutely fabulous support for my son. Perla is a warm and personabletutor, a consummate professional, and she will go out of her way to make sure she can accommodate you. We loved working with her and are so grateful. read more

Perla is an excellent Spanish tutor with decades of experience teaching bilingual kids. She started helping my kids when they were in elementary school and still today works with my youngest in High School. Her expertise with AP testing is extensive, and she is recognized for helping all her students succeed. Perla works with each kid to address gaps in knowledge during her tutoring session, provides excellent resources for extra practice, and communicates with her students even during weekends when they need her help. One of the biggest challenges for bilingual kids is grammar. Perla has a very effective methodology for teaching grammar and supporting her students. In addition to her skills and qualifications, Perla is a sweetheart and treats these kids as a family. She is one of Pleasanton's treasures! read more

Ms.Perla is an awesome supportive teacher and my son thoroughly enjoyed learning from her. Her encouragement, kind words and support truly motivated my son to do his best. Thanks Ms.Perla!! read more

I came to Perla about a month ago because I need help passing my Spanish cset subtest II. Perla was absolutely fabulous. She is incredibly brilliant thorough and goes above and beyond. I found Perla on yelp and I literally hope everyone goes to her. I recommend her for tutoring, learning Spanish, and any state teachers exams!!! read more

OK, so this year, along with three other very challenging AP courses, my son decided (actually, insisted) that he wanted to take AP Spanish as he really likes the language and culture. And when the school year started, we found out that his Spanish teacher was actually still on maternity leave, and the school had no luck in finding qualified substitutes until she came back. Suffice to say, we worried that he would not be prepared for the AP Spanish test in time, as we don't speak a word of Spanish ourselves. So we went to Perla to see if she could help him prepare for the test. Perla was wonderful to work with. My son had lots of time conflicts because of his many after-school activities, but Perla worked with him through it all. She was kind and caring, and he enjoyed going to his lessons with her. She spoke Spanish constantly with him, so he got used to listening in Spanish. She also helped him speak, and gave him someone to practice with. All in all, she was heaven-sent! We are so thankful to her for helping him prepare for the test. He just took the AP test today and we're hopeful that he did well! read more

Thank you Perla for your wonderful Spanish tutoring classes! I came to Perla hoping to improve my intermediate level Spanish, especially working as a nurse. Perla equipped me with thorough grammar lessons through zoom, worksheets for me to complete as homework, and encouraged me to listen to radios and podcasts in Spanish to help improve my skills. She is kind, patient, understanding, and is always interested in how she can best support you. In my handful of classes I already feel more competent and comfortable communicating with native Spanish speakers. Muchas gracias Perla! read more

Perla's Spanish Tutoring Center is amazing! I decided to come back after going there in elementary school after feeling super unprepared for my AP Spanish 4 test. Both Lupita and Perla helped take away any feeling of unpreparedness I had as they gave me so many prep materials and practice! Their genuine care for me was obvious and I am glad to have them as my tutors and I will continue to be with them for AP Spanish 5! read more

I got to know Perla two years ago when my son was finishing up middle school. He did not take Spanish in middle school and I was very worried he might struggle on Spanish in high school. I found Perla's tutoring center from the internet and was very impressed by Perla on the very first phone call. She picked up the phone immediately, which was so nice since I am frequently greeted by voice mails from most businesses. Perla started to teach my son the summer after his middle school to get a head start on Spanish. My son really enjoyed working with Perla. Unfortunately, my son had a terrible Spanish teacher at his high school during his 9th grade, so he pretty much completely relied on Perla to learn Spanish 1. Now he has finished Spanish 2 and received an A+ for the semester. Being a native Spanish speaker, Perla certainly is a master of the language. More importantly, Perla goes above and beyond to take care of her students. She would answer my son's questions outside of her tutoring sessions, arrange extra tutoring sessions when my son is struggling on certain topics, and put extra effort to prepare my son for his exams. In addition Perla inspired my son's interest in Spanish. He would watch Spanish language movies on Netflix in his free time and talk to me in Spanish from time to time to make fun of me since I know virtually nothing about Spanish. I highly recommend Perla for Spanish tutoring and you will enjoy her teaching tremendously. read more

We were lucky to get introduced to Perla and her team. Our son was taking Spanish starting 7th grade and never enjoyed it. By 9th grade he was tired of it and didn't believe he can improve his grades. Not only Perla, Lupita and Caroline helped him to get his A in Spanish 2, he is about to be done with Spanish 3 he took during the summer in online High School. He had a great experience! read more

Perla and her team are so helpful and supportive to my daughter. My daughter has her ups and downs and Perla is so patient and kind all the time. Her tutoring has been a tremendous help and I am very happy with my daughter's results. Thank you Perla and your team. read more

We feel so lucky to have found Perla as my daughter, Ava, started AP Spanish at Foothill HS last year. Ava felt she was behind as she entered AP Spanish and had considered dropping the class. When we started with Perla, she had a small group for students who had her teacher, Mr. Ospina. Perla knew the teacher and was able to help Ava build confidence and practice verbal/written skills in Spanish to be successful in the class. As she prepared for the AP exam, Perla went above and beyond to make sure the group was prepared for the exam. Ava ended up with Covid the week she was due to take the test. Perla stayed connected and scheduled time with Ava prior to her make up exam. She passed the AP exam and plans continue on to take Spanish 5 her Senior year. I believe the time spent with Perla, has been invaluable. She is a wonderful Spanish tutor, kind and attentive to the needs of her students. I recommend her to anyone who needs a Spanish tutor! She is amazing! read more

Perla and Lupita are absolutely outstanding teachers. My son was taking the Spanish 2 and 3 courses at Granada, which are on a fast trimester system. He was having a difficult time keeping up and began going twice a week for an hour session. He went from stressed out to success. Both ladies are extremely kind and hardworking. His school book was brand new this year and these ladies went out of their way to make a complete program to supplement what he was learning in school. It was worth every penny to see him complete the course with such confidence. I have noticed that there are books, posters and games for younger students to learn the language as well. Great place to learn with wonderful teachers. read more

My son had Lupita as his tutor for Span 3 last year. I wish I had found them years before. Perla and Lupita are great and encouraging instructors. Lupita made herself available during the week to answer questions and check work over the phone. Because they are native Spanish speakers AND also understand the high school's curriculum, they were the ideal tutors. I was fortunate to find them after trying one of the larger tutoring centers in Pleasanton (their tutor obviously did not know Spanish well enough - my son found a couple mistakes the tutor made and I would see her looking up answers in the back of the text book!). My son was in the small group tutoring which was just 2 kids and Lupita. I highly recommend them! read more

Perla's Spanish Tutoring has been a kept secret for many many years. People didn't want to share her number for fear of not getting in when they needed their children in themselves! Yes, this happened to me so I had to figure out on my own how to get my child to be a part of this "secret" society that so many parents didn't want to share... since then, Perla has increased her staff of highly trained individuals to help open more availability to our students that would like to be on top of and increase their knowledge beyond the school system. So, no need parents to not share this wonderful gem! She's got plenty of support! Perla has been teaching and tutoring for about 20 years in Pleasanton & her own children have gone through the Pleasanton system. You can not do better by having your child with her or her staff. You can expect proper help, learning and conversation for your student! She is the warmest, loving, caring, intelligent individual you want your child with... she tutors ALL ages and levels. I can't say enough good positive things about her and her business. My child has been going since 2nd grade and is at the high school level III now. If you need a tutor or want your child to get better than what the schools offer... you can not go wrong with Perla's Spanish Tutoring in Pleasanton! read more
