"Our
son really struggled in Spanish 1 as a 7th grader
at John Burroughs school. He worked with Holly the
summer after 7th grade to review and try and get on
top of it before 8th grade. She was terrific. He is
doing great in 8th grade Spanish and his teacher has
recommended that he take the higher level Spanish
for his 9th grade year. Thanks Holly for
Everything."

"I would recommend Holly Horn
as a Spanish tutor. She is a very good
teacher who helps me improve my Spanish skills. She
is fun to work with and is very flexible with my
schedule."
Megan - Sophomore at St. Joseph’s Academy
"Holly
is terrific! I have been a tutoring student of
Holly’s for two years and I look forward
to my weekly sessions. She is creative in her
teaching styles such as using the tape recorder so I
am able to hear the way I sound and know how to
improve on my speaking skills. Ever since I have
been with Holly, my grade has significantly improved
in my Spanish class at John Burroughs School. I
think Holly is really cool and is a great asset to
the Spanish language!"
Sophomore, John Burroughs School
"I
am a sophomore at St. Joe and I have been going to
Holly since freshman year. She helps me
understand what we are doing in class by going over
the material before we start it in class, going over
the vocabulary, and having conversations in Spanish.
Now I have an A!"
Ellen Huch Class of 2010
“
Both of my children have
used Holly Horn's tutoring service for several years
in order to help them meet the challenges
of a demanding high school curriculum. They both
have really liked Holly's easy-going personality and
her willingness to tailor their sessions to exactly
what they needed at any given time. Both of them
found that through the extensive conversations they
had with Holly in Spanish in which she covered many
topics about their lives, they became much more
confident in their ability to speak in Spanish in
class. We've recommended Holly to many of our
friends who have children looking for extra help and
all have reported back to us that it worked out well
for them, too. Holly is reliable, friendly, funny,
flexible, and has lots of patience. I can't
recommend her highly enough.” --
Parent of two students at John Burroughs School
“A Spanish tutoring
relationship began between Holly Horn and our son
when he was in 7th grade at John
Burroughs School and trying to learn introductory
Spanish. Holly helped him immediately to be able to
better comprehend and practice the language outside
of the classroom. He is now an 11th grader and has
been meeting with her weekly since 7th grade.
Language has always been difficult for him, yet
Holly has made it possible for him to succeed in
Spanish. In fact, he has decided to complete his
high school career with with one more year of
Spanish – his 6th year altogether. I believe he
would have given up on Spanish by now if not for
Holly. Holly is not only an excellent Spanish tutor
with a great command of the language, but she is
also extremely kind and patient. I have never seen
her get frustrated or express dismay during her
tutoring sessions with our son or others. She
remains calm and smiling throughout the time that
they meet. She utilizes a very effective method of
only speaking to him in Spanish and expecting that
he will reply in Spanish whether they are speaking
of sports, events of the day, or homework
assignments. She has also helped him to become a
better writer of Spanish. He truly enjoys his time
with her and never talks about trying to find a way
out of the session in order to do other things. For
a high school boy, that is high praise, indeed!”
Mother of an 11th grader
“My daughter has never
had a tutor before, and was apprehensive
before her first session. After meeting Holly the
first time, she felt very comfortable working with
her. She doesn't want to quit now. Ms. Horn is very
dependable and always on time. I think the kids
really like her and find her easy to work with.”
