"I finally feel like it's clicking."

I have been taking classes at KayLista Spanish Studio for about 6 weeks now. While I've been living in Mexico for several years, I haven't been able to progress much simply by the bits and pieces I learn from talking with locals. At KayLista, I'm learning grammar and context and getting the glue to stick all my pieces together. The instructor, Kayla, is patient and has a great way of explaining things to English speakers learning Spanish. While I was apprehensive at first because she wasn't a native speaker, my hesitation was soon assuaged with her clear and concise way of explaining things that make it easier to remember.

After a year of Duolingo, moving to Kaylista was a sigh of relief. Kayla's onboarding technique and understanding of her students is magical. Aside from learning, speaking & writing Spanish sentences, the Bonus is, our classes are enjoyable, we're learning & look forward to classes twice a week.

I've been taking Spanish classes off and on for 20 years and Kayla is FINALLY the best maestra since my very first maestro. Why did it take so long? 😝

I have been to two other Spanish schools and I always found myself confused and struggling to retain the information. Kayla knows how to not only create a small comfortable class setting, she explains things so well that I actually started retaining the information! I highly recommend Kayla. She understands it's important to learn vocabulary you will use everyday and not sentences you will never use.

Kayla is the best Spanish teacher, ever! Why? I've taken Spanish many times. In many places. Running across Kayla was amazing. She is somebody who can easily help a "gringo" (who is intermediate/advanced) put it all together. Kayla gives 100% in every session. She knows the "weak spots" of a North American; both in grammar and in speaking. Seriously, check it out for yourself!

I've tried everything to learn Spanish….Duolingo and other online programs included. The real magic is our teacher Kayla. She is energetic, animated, and genuinely passionate about teaching. She keeps the class engaged and laughing while still pushing us to learn, and she somehow makes a full hour fly by. What I appreciate most is that Kayla gives every student attention, no matter their level. She's patient, encouraging, and extremely professional, and you can tell she truly cares about each person improving.

Wow! I have tried over the years to learn Spanish but Kayla has succeeded! I'm on my way and you can too!

Kayla is a native English speaker and understands how to explain things in a way that makes sense to us. The classes are really fun, and I look forward to going. I highly recommend Kayla as an instructor!

I had a fun time taking beginner level Spanish with Kayla.

Kayla is a wonderful teacher; she has created a welcoming and relaxed learning environment. Homework and concepts learned in previous classes are reviewed at each class which is a great way to get the most out of the course. The class size is small giving everyone an opportunity to speak Spanish multiple times throughout the lesson. I thought I would be intimidated to speak Spanish right away, especially in front of the class but we all took turns, Kayla made it easy and was encouraging, she took time with each person to confirm our pronunciation was correct and that we understood the concept we were learning.

I would highly recommend taking Spanish lessons with Kayla.

Fun. It's a fun class. I'm enjoying the class. Meeting new friends. After 10 years I didn't think I could learn Spanish because of my dyslexia and learning disabilities. For me Kayla's class is more than learning Spanish. School was rough on me as a kid, and I didn't know I had been compartmentalizing the experience. So this experience has opened up a whole new world for me. There are great little restaurants and coffee shops around her school. Viva PV!

Kayla truly makes the class a joy to attend. She is patient, encouraging, and kind — not to mention animated and fun. Her teaching style makes the material stick; I remember key concepts because of the creative and memorable acronyms she uses. Kayla is also attentive to pronunciation, never letting mistakes slip by, yet she corrects gently and supportively. This balance has helped me grow in confidence while improving my accuracy.

Kayla brings the perfect mix of energy, clarity, and patience. She makes Spanish feel doable and light — and when it's not, she reminds us we'll keep repeating it until it clicks. Big applause to Kayla for keeping the classroom fun, relaxed, and free of judgment.

Kayla makes the classes relaxed and takes away any nervous thoughts about making a mistake. Kayla is super passionate and inspiring with her journey in learning a new language.

Kayla is an excellent teacher. She provides a fun and engaging learning environment. Her knowledge about both English and Spanish are exceptional, her pronunciation is spot on. What truly sets her apart is her patience and ability to bring many levels together to all take something from the lesson. She takes the time to explain and carefully review the material.

I've been in Kayla's class the last few weeks and she's great! Can't wait to continue growing my Spanish skills with her

If you are looking for an energetic fun, interactive class, YESSS, Kayla is Highly Recommended! 💯 👍 She exlains things to make it easier to understand, and she knows many ways to help you remember the hard stuff....but mostly, I love her personality, teaching style, and patience. She really makes learning fun too! 😉 She loves what she does, and it shows. You can tell she actually cares that you understand and pronounce the words correctly as well as knowing the meaning of what you said. She is an excellent teacher, you should definately go check out her classes! 💥 I am FINALLY learning Spanish! Thank you Kayla! 🤗

As a true beginner I was anxious about starting but Kayla makes it fun and interesting and never tires of being asked the same questions.

I have learned so much. Kayla does a great job of keeping it fun. Highly recommended!

Kayla, our instructor, has a great sense of humor which makes learning fun.

I am really enjoying the class with Kayla. She is an amazing teacher with great energy and has an encouraging approach. The classes always have a positive vibe which makes you comfortable and motivated.

WOW! What a great experience! Kayla is a fabulous teacher. Her good humor and fun facts keep the class engaged and the learning fun.

I can't recommend Kayla highly enough. She gets it. If you don't truly understand the basic verbs we use in everyday conversation, you'll continue to struggle with Spanish, no matter how many words you know.

Kayla's teaching style is patient, practical, and easy to relate to. She emphasizes repetition and continually reinforces the fundamentals until they finally stick. That repetitive practice is exactly what I needed, and for the first time the verbs have finally clicked in my aging brain!

If you're feeling discouraged, don't give up—keep coming back. Kayla has an incredible ability to find a teaching approach that fits the way you learn. She genuinely wants every student to succeed and keeps working with you until it finally clicks.

Thanks to Kayla's approach, I now have much more confidence in my Spanish and finally feel like I'm building a solid foundation instead of just memorizing words. If you're serious about learning Spanish, I highly recommend giving her classes a try.

As a retired college educator of 25 years, I understand deeply the challenges and rewards of teaching. With that experience, I can truly appreciate the enthusiasm, fairness, and dedication that Kayla brings to her classroom. From day one, Kayla's energy and commitment to teaching have stood out. What impresses me most is Kayla's fairness and the genuine care she shows for every student. Her teaching style is not just about the lessons; it's about making the whole learning experience enjoyable and motivating.

Kayla is amazing, fun, and always keeps us engaged. Everyone has many opportunities to practice speaking Spanish and Kayla is always there to help us with our pronunciation, explaining nuances with the language, and providing us with examples and tricks to help us remember and learn.

Kayla is honestly the heart of the class. What makes her so special is how she takes her time to really connect with each student and adjust her teaching to what you need at the time. Since Kayla recently learned Spanish herself, she totally gets the struggle and explains things in a way that actually makes sense — pronunciations, memory tips, and little tricks that help it stick. She creates a really warm and encouraging vibe in class. You never feel rushed or judged, and you can tell she genuinely wants everyone to succeed.

I know a lot of words but Kayla's fun class helps me put them together and pronounce them properly hahaha. I am learning a lot, it is interactive and super supportive of an adult learner!

Kayla's excitement for learning and helping others to do the same is infectious. She is genuinely concerned with how we are progressing and if we understand the lessons. She really loves teaching and seeing the excitement in her eyes while she is teaching transfers to us (the students) making us want to perform well for her in class.
