“La Escuela is a wonderful place to learn Spanish in Gainesville. Ms Karina Newman is the most patient, dedicated teacher. She is always prepared with lessons the children enjoy but they are also required to work hard. Homework is given and is a good practice tool along with the Spanish songs.” — Debbie Sams​


“I have studied with Karina via skype for sometime. She is a dedicated teacher, patient, clear and intelligent. She takes the time to find articles that interest me, she is eager to teach. She never seems impatient when I make mistakes, and as an older learner I often repeat the same mistakes before I show improvement.” — Suzie Ross, retired
