Fiesta española ... cada clase es una fiesta. Soy profesora de español en dos idiomas con 13 años de experiencia en el aula y 20 años liderando talleres culturales. Mi pasión es compartir mi cultura.

We had the pleasure of having Jesús (aka Señor de la Torre) as our son's kindergarten Spanish teacher. Jesús was able to keep my son, the entire class, (and me!) engaged and genuinely excited to be learning, even during the forced Covid-related remote learning Zoom sessions. In addition to his wonderful sense of humor and presentation style, he is an absolute genius when it comes to producing and sharing online content.

More recently, Jesús has been tutoring our daughter (entering 4th grade) this summer as she works to catch up on some gaps from last year. His ability to incorporate song, props, and other methods to captivate and motivate our child to learn has been a wonder to behold. We frequently find both our children eagerly awaiting Señor de la Torre’s arrival, excited to learn and share with him.

I could not possibly recommend Jesús with any greater enthusiasm. We were so fortunate that our daughter was in his kindergarten class this recent school year and her excitement for her first year learning Spanish was infinite. She absolutely loved his humorous and creative teaching style and we were so appreciative of all of the great tools and resources that he shared with parents. His use of songs to help enhance the children's learning was especially fun and engaging for them and really helped to solidify their vocabulary in this earliest year of their Spanish education.

I have also had the pleasure of working with Jesús through our Parent Teacher Organization and it was evident in every single interaction that his passion for helping to expand his students' Spanish knowledge and interest was boundless. We feel so very fortunate to have him as a beloved teacher at our children's school and we are certain that anyone working with him will enjoy his humor and entertaining style just as much as our daughter and her peers did.

Jesús, is an amazing Spanish teacher for students as young as preschool all the way up to adult! His lessons are fun, engaging and will get you up out of your seat, as there is always dancing involved. ¡es muy divertido aprender español de Jesús!

My kids and I had so much fun cooking, laughing and learning with Jesús, it never felt like a “lesson.” He is so welcoming and positive with the little ones (and the old ones, too), no one felt embarrassed to try out all the new words. By the end of the first lesson my kids were so excited to share what they learned. Jesús taught us about making tamales all while teaching conversational Spanish. And even more than that, he shared his family traditions with so much enthusiasm we were all hooked. Jesús is the real deal – he really knows how to connect with his students. I highly recommend Jesús de la Torre’s Fiesta Spanish lessons.
