Novice-Advanced Classes

''What Do Students Have To Say About The Class?''

''I highly recommend this class. Ben Jorgensen is an excellent teacher. He’s positive and encouraging and intuitive to the level of understanding in his classes. He doesn’t just teach rehearsed lesson plans regardless of student needs. He asks and invites questions and adjusts lessons and assignments as needed to help us master concepts & pronunciation. I also appreciate his focus on speaking, because my goal is to converse in Spanish, not just read & write. He purposefully creates a classroom atmosphere that is safe and encouraging as we practice speaking. This class really is the best!''

''It has been years since I was in a classroom setting and I was a little nervous about taking the class but Profe Jorgensen was great. The learning environment was fun and I never felt intimidated. I loved the conversations we were able to have with other class members which really helped in learning to speak Spanish. I also really liked that It was easy to ask questions if you didn’t understand Profe was very patient and made sure you understood the concept before moving on. I am definitely taking the next class.''

This course is fabuloso! I am a busy mom who works full time. This class was perfect for me. I was able to attend when I could, and when I couldn't course materials (including recordings) were available for me online. Even after the course ended. This saved me since my mother became extremely ill and required major surgery during the course, and I was her main care giver. In addition to this flexibility, Profe Jorgensen creates a unintimidating, positive environment for learning. Thank you Profe Jorgensen! I am really enjoying learning Spanish.

''I have been wanting to learn Spanish for several years. I used Duolingo but needed so much more. I needed the interaction and the ability to ask questions and speak the language more. I saw an ad come through FB for SCA and was definitely interested. I'm so glad I signed up! Profe Jorgensen actually called on the phone to discuss my Spanish level and get me in the right class. I have been so impressed with the knowledge Profe has of the Spanish language and the way he will stop a lesson just to address the question of a single person. He explains things until you understand them. I have loved taking these classes so much and will be starting my third class in January.

Online learning in classes has often been difficult for me in the past. However, with this class, I found that with the use of technology, clarity of teaching and excellence of the teacher, I was able to learn and really enjoy my online Spanish classes. I am now signed up for my 3rd class with Professor Jorgensen. The courses are excellent! The class pace allowed me as a working adult to put in the time that I had for the course. Some weeks I could only do what was necessary but when I had more time, I had plenty of material to really dive into learning. I enjoyed the interaction with the other students and was educated in the material. The Professor was very good. He kept the class balanced, was great about review and encouraged learning. I have highly recommended him to family, friends and colleagues.

I've had the opportunity to take Spanish classes from Ben Jorgensen for the past year. I started in his beginning class - not having ever taken Spanish before - and now I am in his intermediate/advanced class. Ben is a very patient teacher and relates to his students so very well. He teaches the foundation of Spanish grammar - which allows his students to build upon their knowledge and understanding of the language.
