Julieta speaks beautifully...she communicates straight to brain...I understood all she said meaning she was so very clear. Her pace was excellent...she guided you through technical details easily...she made the lessons accessible...when people know their subject really well they are able to relay that information in it's most simple form...this is a true gift...and she is a gifted teacher.
