“The fact that after one short week Jean somehow managed to give me a solid base on which to further (my previously nonexistent) Spanish studies and allow me to have simple conversations and to shop amazes me and speaks to the quality of her teaching. Not only is she a great teacher, she's a wealth of local knowledge and a warm and friendly person. ” Gabriele Nolte, Gibsons
