Loving to learn Who says you can’t teach an old dog new tricks? At 53 I decided to really learn Spanish so I can talk with the staff at the resorts we visit in Mexico and Dominican Republic. Using apps to self-teach was not working for me so I searched the web for a tutor. I landed on Dutongui and I am so happy I did. Uriel is a wonderful teacher. My vocabulary, pronunciation and listening skills have improved in the last two months and I'm starting to learn more complex moods and tenses. I look forward to my lessons and find myself wanting to do homework and practice every day. Gracias Uriel por despertar la alegría de aprender.

Uriel is such an excellent instructor! Uriel is such an excellent instructor! I look forward to my lessons each week and am amazed by the progress I am making in learning Spanish. I have been learning so much, so fast, while having fun! I strongly suggest to anyone learning Spanish at any level to work with Uriel. He is patient, professional, and always on time and prepared.

Great teachers! I've been studying with Uriel 2-3 times a week for the last 3 months. My Spanish has really improved! I love that he's helping me learn *real* Spanish, the way real people really speak it - not make-believe textbook Spanish. Thanks, Uriel!

Great Experience I purchased an excursion package to Tepoztlán with Uriel and it was an unforgettable experience! Uriel is funny, respectful, patient, and a great teacher overall. When he picked me up in the morning, he asked me to only speak in Spanish which really gave me a boost of confidence to practice what I'd learned in class. The day trip was incredible; Tepoztlán is a beautiful mountainside town just outside of Mexico City. We got breakfast at a food market there and, with Uriel's help, I was able to order my sope and all the toppings I wanted in Spanish. Afterwards, we hiked up the hills to a beautiful Aztec pyramid, all the while talking about food, culture, and life in Mexico, all in Spanish! Uriel made me feel comfortable enough to not shy away from making mistakes (all of which he gently and patiently corrected); and he even taught me some fun Mexican slang! If you're going to visit Mexico City, I highly recommend buying an excursion package from ChidoLingo. No class or book beats learning Spanish through immersion accompanied by a great teacher like Uriel.

Great experience with Uriel! Uriel is great! An amazing teacher for all levels, he really takes the time to get to know his students and their specific needs. From providing local cultural insights to teaching verb conjugation, Uriel covers a wide range of language topics and is a great conversation partner for those looking to learn Spanish and/or practice their existing skills. Very highly recommended!
