The workshop was well-organized and also very enjoyable for those of us who were unfamiliar with various aspects of writing. Plus, since it was interactive, it was an opportunity to learn and get to know others. Our questions were answered clearly. I recommend it 100%.
A really great workshop—I learned a lot. The instructor is very professional, and it’s clear she knows her subject matter. She also prepares thoroughly and shares supporting materials to enhance our learning. Thank you very much.
These are excellent courses, and the instructor is very personable. I recommend her courses.
Mayra is an outstanding professional; her knowledge of linguistics is impressive. The passion with which she shares her knowledge is admirable, and I’ve learned so much from her. She’s inspired me to keep learning and improving my knowledge, and I’ll try to take every course I can with her.
Mayra, thank you so much for sharing the beauty and richness of our language; people like you make us appreciate and love it even more.
An excellent educator and professional. Her course is dynamic, and her teaching style is versatile, helping students understand and correctly apply spelling rules. I believe the content of her workshop is useful for any professional, since it’s important to be able to express yourself correctly in writing in any area of life, whether professional or personal. I highly recommend it!
Mayra Franke is the professional who comes to mind when I think of a linguistic authority.
She also possesses exceptional teaching skills. Her spelling workshops demonstrate that rare ability to combine the rigor of linguistics with the joy of teaching and learning.
Mayra is dedicated, passionate, and tirelessly curious, and her classes are interactive, interesting, fun, and full of important and useful content. She really loves sharing everything she knows; and what’s great about Mayra is that she doesn’t think she knows it all (which she does, believe me); if she doesn’t know something, she looks it up and figures it out. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
