About
Greetings! My name is Sally D'Armas, and I am a Californian native who possesses over 18 years of experience teaching Spanish to students of all ages and levels. My passion for educating and aiding others began at a young age and continuously rewards me. Pursuing my Bachelor's degree in Education with a minor in Spanish allowed me to utilize my Cuban and Spanish heritage, further expanding my love for the language and culture. I even wrote a book to assist others in learning how to speak and write Spanish. When not teaching, I enjoy attending hockey and dodger's baseball games, and spending quality time with my family.Sallie offers fun Spanish classes for ages 5 - 17 and adults. Our course covers practical vocabulary, useful phrases, and comprehension of simple Spanish. We also offer one-on-one private lessons to help our students become more fluent in international Spanish within our 6-week course duration.
Our team has had great achievement with students from schools such as Buckley, Harvard-Westlake, Marlborough, Marymount, Crossroads, Notre-Dame, Beverly High, and New Roads over the past 19 years. We accept students of all levels, with personalized curriculums that help achieve their goals as effectively as possible. Our classes cover pronunciation/accent, grammar, conversation, vocabulary, reading, and writing. Learning Spanish allows individuals to possess a valuable tool that can unexpectedly come in handy. Spanish tutoring is also offered to help students maintain and improve their proficiency skills.

As a bilingual South African woman in both IsiZulu and English, learning Spanish is a new endeavor for me. However, Sally and my tutor, Alberto's enthusiasm for the language and love for teaching has made me eagerly anticipate my one-on-one online lessons.
Since learning Spanish greetings and grammar fundamentals, I can now independently construct brief sentences, attempt conversations with native speakers, and follow some discussions. I practice reading and translating notices on buses, in shops, and office buildings. All of this occurred in just two months.
Weekly homework assignments have aided me in practicing what I learned in class. It is essential to expand my vocabulary outside of class since without it, engaging in conversations or following them is nearly impossible.
¡Muchas gracias, Sally y Alberto! Eres la mejor!

My child recently enrolled in Sallie's Spanish School and is enjoying it immensely. The enrollment process was seamless, thanks to the prompt and professional response from the staff. Maestra Geri was able to schedule my child's lessons hours after we reached out. Each week, my child looks forward to their lesson and enjoys the personalized course material that incorporates their interests. Maestra Geri makes the content engaging and fun, allowing my child to stay focused and interested. Study materials are provided after each lesson, readying my child for the next session. Having a reliable, consistent, fun, and engaging tutor has made all the difference in my child's learning journey. We are grateful for Sallie's Spanish School and look forward to continuing with them for years to come.

Our senior son is currently in his third year of studying Spanish. As a Mandarin native speaker, grasping Spanish alongside English as a second language has proven to be quite challenging. He has faced difficulties with speaking, but thankfully, his teacher has made the learning process fun, encouraging him to speak more and improving his grades. In addition, his teacher is extremely supportive and responsive, making our son look forward to his lessons.

Sallie is an extraordinary educator. Each class is enriching, and she demonstrates patience, generosity, and a willingness to clarify any doubts you may have. Despite numerous attempts at learning Spanish on my own, I was unsuccessful until Sallie made it simple and noticeable progress seen. You will never regret having her as your instructor.
