Real Student Reviews

What families and learners say

B

Bisi Jackson

Parent of High School Student

Verified Student

"I sought the services of My Other Tongue because my high school student was struggling in Spanish. He failed the first semester and was in jeopardy of failing again. Within days, Lisa devised a customized tutoring plan to meet my son where he was. She was patient and super helpful, often offering tips and tricks to remember conjugations. Because of the tutoring, he earned a 'B' in the class. We are beyond pleased and enthusiastically recommend My Other Tongue to anyone looking to develop Spanish language proficiency."

Grade Transformation: F → B

"My experience with My Other Tongue has been very fulfilling and enlightening. The combination of native and non-native speakers kept class interesting. The learning plan was very easy to follow and prepared me for class with excellent study points. I will definitely be advancing into the next course!"

Advancing to next course

"This is a great way to learn another language. I have attempted to learn Spanish on several occasions, but I never got the confidence nor the tools needed. The courses and events this business provides have propelled my passion, confidence, and desire for learning Spanish. I truly like the easy access to native speakers. I'm so glad I made the decision to use them."
