Read what students and parents say about Simply Teaching Spanish classes and why they feel it's one of the most effective ways to learn Spanish.
SOPHIE, STUDENT
Señora Stacko is a very good instructor who isn't just teaching Spanish for the job─she teaches with passion and truly understands her students in a way that sets her apart from most teachers. It was an amazing class, and I learned so much. It's hard to find a teacher that cares about her students on the same level that Señora Stacko does, and for that, I'm very grateful.
LUCY, STUDENT
Señora Stacko is an amazing teacher whose classes I have looked forward to and enjoyed for the last five years. She's incredibly patient, kind, and understanding towards students and makes them feel very comfortable. She makes classes fun and interesting, allowing students to use what they learn in class to communicate with each other in Spanish.
KIRA, STUDENT
I really enjoyed this class, and truly feel like I understand so much more about the Spanish language! The classes were fun and engaging and I appreciate Señora Stacko’s patience and attentiveness. She's good about answering questions and making sure that we understand what we're learning. I am excited to be able to use my Spanish knowledge to communicate better with others.
TRACY D., PARENT
This class is ideal if you’re wanting your child to not only learn Spanish but also practice speaking it with others. It’s a pretty hands off class for parents which I appreciated since I deal with a lot of other subjects. We (my child and I) were very happy with the class and plan on returning next year. Thank you for providing this service for homeschoolers.
ALISHA B., PARENT
Gracias, Clara! Levi very much enjoyed your class. It was so helpful to have a syncronous course so he could engage with you and the other students, and practice speaking Spanish. This not only advanced his skills more, but also held his attention much better than the asyncronous programs he tried in the past. He always enjoyed it more when he was able to attend live. Still, your flexibility with attendance and provision of recordings of classes he missed was an essential part of his success. Thank you so much!
ASHLEY M., PARENT
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge in such a fun and immersive class! I also appreciated the open communication with parents. I definitely would (and already have!) recommend this class to others. Thank you again!
JACKSON, STUDENT
What I enjoyed most about the class is the amount of love that Señora Stacko put into all of her students. She is a wonderful person that is able to educate students very proficiently.
WYATT, STUDENT
I really enjoyed this class. It was just the right amount of work and I felt like I learned Spanish well. Señora Stacko is a great, helpful teacher.
SKYE, STUDENT
Your class was really amazing!! When I was struggling with some assignments, there was always resources to help. Thank you!!
SHELLY M., PARENT
My oldest daughter who has some learning differences took Clara's Conversational Spanish class her last year of high school and loved it. It was one of the few classes that she took during her education where I was not the teacher, and I was so pleased that she thrived and enjoyed the course. I signed her sister up for the full High School Spanish I course this past year. It has been a great experience for her as well. We certainly recommend Clara's course for any student who wants to learn this lovely language.
TAMI B., PARENT
Senora Stacko's High School Spanish 1 class did the work for me! As a mom of four, I knew I did not have time to learn another language. My son is an independent learner, and he was able to jump right into her class, follow along with the assignments, and she gave feedback to him. She took care of the grading for me too!
TERRI L., PARENT
Simply Teaching Spanish High School Spanish 1 & 2 have been great for my daughters. They learned Spanish and now they have their language that Mom doesn't understand. It's great, as they talk and will even correct each other's Spanish. Kind of reminds me when they were learning English.
ETHAN, STUDENT
I really liked having Señora Stacko as my instructor! She was always comitted to helping us learn and I never felt scared to ask a question or point something out. I'm quite excited to have her as my instructor for High School Spanish 3!
IVEY, STUDENT
Señora Stacko is an understanding, gentle, and kind Spanish teacher! I so enjoyed learning Spanish from her!
SARAH, STUDENT
The High School Spanish 1 class is very efficient at getting you comfortable with reading, writing, and speaking Spanish. I can't say enough nice things about Señora Stacko; she is very patient and fun. And I loved taking her class.
BELINDA R., PARENT
Señora Stacko is a wonderful and effective Spanish instructor. My 12-year-old boys learned a lot from her Conversational Spanish 1 class. Her class formats are engaging and my boys retained the concepts she taught them. We look forward to continuing their Spanish language education with Señora Stacko!
EMILY R., PARENT
My son really enjoyed Conversational Spanish 1 with Señora Clara. It was a wonderful addition to our homeschool year. Having my son be responsible to a teacher other than myself helped him to improve his time management skills and work independently.
SABRINA S., PARENT
Thank you for teaching my daughter Spanish. She is already using it on our vacation to Mexico.
CHRISTOPHER, STUDENT
I love Señora Stacko! She is a good teacher and pushed me to do well. I love the games and the big lunch at the Spanish restaurant. I can't wait for her next class.
LUCI, STUDENT
Señora Stacko's class was an amazing, fun way to learn Spanish. It was a great class. I'm looking forward to next year.
JACOB, STUDENT
I have taken a couple of Spanish classes and this one is my favorite. I liked that we played games and even got to compete all year for a prize.
TESS B., PARENT
Clara's class is the best Spanish homeschooling class in our city. She does a great job engaging the kids at a very low price. My daughter looks forward to this class every week, and it has greatly expanded her knowledge of the language. I highly recommend this class.
LAURA R., PARENT
The Spanish class that Señora Stacko offers is wonderful. She worked one-on-one with my son to assure his success. I was impressed with how quickly he was able to translate full sentences after only a few months. Clara does a great job of incorporating fun games into the class, as well as an end-of-year fiesta! I highly recommend her Spanish class.
AMY W., PARENT
We're pleased with the easy learning method that the teaching style and resources provided. Our son learned Spanish and did very well, too! My children are both very much looking forward to their third year of Spanish class.
JOY, STUDENT
I really enjoyed Señora Stacko's Spanish class. She was very understanding and patient. I really felt at ease while learning and stumbling through a new language. I'd recommend to any of my friends to take Mrs. Stacko's Spanish class.
ANDREW, STUDENT
I have to say, I didn't expect learning Spanish to be so easy! It wasn't overly complicated and it was very well taught. We covered a lot in this course, but at no point was it overwhelming. I enjoyed this course a lot more than I would've ever thought I would. I learned a lot from it!
MATTHEW, STUDENT
Señora Stacko's class was fun. Sometimes we'd play some fun games like hangman. She would never try to rush us. She gave everyone an opportunity to answer a question, and if we didn't know the answer, she didn't just tell us the answer right away, but instead, went around the room giving each student an opportunity to help. She was very nice.
MEAGHAN B., PARENT
It was great that this class had little to no parental involvement, just an occasional “Did you do your Spanish homework yet.” This was especially important because I don’t speak Spanish and would not have been much help if my child needed me to teach anything.
DAWN G., PARENT
Señora Stacko's Spanish class was fantastic! My kids enjoyed it and are using Spanish at home all the time. She made it fun and they never felt pressured or stressed. They always looked forward to going. I recommend it highly.
AMY W., PARENT
We're pleased with the easy learning method that the teaching style and resources provided. Our son learned Spanish and did very well, too! My children are both very much looking forward to their third year of Spanish class.
INDY, STUDENT
Señora Stacko did a great job teaching us Spanish. The learning style was excellent as it was serious and focused on the material, yet was done in a really fun manner. It was great conversing with other students in Spanish. That made the language really come alive, which was awesome! In addition, we watched videos and played games to reinforce what we had learned. Overall it was an experience I won't forget and one that I highly recommend!
MICAH, STUDENT
I got the amazing opportunity to spend a week in Costa Rica on a missions trip as a freshman and then later as a junior in high school. Taking Señora Stacko's Spanish classes really helped prepare me for conversing with the people there. It also invoked in me a love for the Spanish language that has continued to grow. Being able to communicate with the kids and the other people we interacted with while there was invaluable. It meant so much to them that I could start a conversation with them and wanted to learn their language.
TRACE, STUDENT
I learned a lot of vocabulary in this Spanish class. Señora Stacko made it very fun! Every few weeks we would have contests. At the end of the year, we went to a Mexican restaurant. That was very fun since we got to order in Spanish. I highly recommend you try this class. It will be worth it!
JULIE A., PARENT
My son took three years of Spanish under Clara's instruction. He has come away with a deeper understanding of the Spanish language and of languages in general. Clara made the classes interesting and my son looked forward to going. The games that they played cemented what he had learned and the restaurant experience at the end of each year was just icing on the cake. Thank you Clara!
JOCELYN M., PARENT
After suffering through 4 years of Latin, my daughter asked if she could take a Spanish course. I never learned Spanish, but I wanted her to be able to take a course that she had an interest in for her Senior year of homeschool. She very much enjoyed this Spanish class and said that she would even take a next-level course over the summer if it were offered. This class motivated her to take Spanish in college.
JANELLE P., PARENT
My daughter has had the privilege of participating in Clara Stacko's Spanish class for two years. My husband and I are so impressed with how far our daughter has progressed in those two years! Not only does she know a lot of words in Spanish, she actually understands the language and how to correctly speak in Spanish. Best of all, Clara makes the learning process fun so that our daughter looks forward to class and has never once complained about the homework or the class itself.
AMY M., PARENT
My daughter and I can't think of any ways to improve this class. It was all so well done!
KATE D., PARENT
Sra. Stacko is an amazing teacher and so patient and kind. My girls really enjoyed her class and learned so much in just one year!
CELESTE F., PARENT
Senora Stacko does a wonderful job helping our children learn Spanish and appreciate the beauty of the language. We recommend her unreservedly.
VANESSA H., PARENT
I was looking for a class to help my kids learn Spanish, while simultaneously taking something off my plate. This course fit the bill! Not only have they learned a ton, but they have had fun doing so. I had two girls take the Conversational Spanish class. They enjoyed practicing conversing with their classmates in Spanish. They enjoyed the games. They even enjoyed the homework. Ms. Clara is great with the kids. My 8th grader was especially excited to hear she would be taking Spanish 1 with Ms. Clara next year. I highly recommend her courses.
JACKIE M., PARENT
Clara's class has been a blessing to our family! It can be hard to help your children learn topics that you yourself don't have knowledge of, and Clara made this easy for us. My boys always knew their assignments and kept on track. She made it so simple for a busy mom to add this into the schedule.
I would highly recommend her Spanish classes to anyone looking for a thorough and worry-free addition to their course work. I look forward to putting my boys in future classes of hers!
KARISSA B., PARENT
We’ve tried a Spanish class before where the kids didn’t really learn much. This one they liked and are able to apply their knowledge. They loved the fact that they learned so much through games. They have both told me that they didn’t realize just how much they really knew until they understood Spanish around them.
