This teacher is absolutely wonderful. He is inspirational and will make you want to learn more. His class is very involved and motivated. If you are going to take Spanish at northeast take this guy he knows what he's doing.
good teacher. skips some material in each chapter
He is a doll! He really wants you to learn his first language and is excited that you are trying. He never makes you feel stupid, and gives you a week to take a test if you miss it. Depending on how quickly you pick it up will setermine how often you HAVE to be in class. It's always a good idea right after a test, when learning new stuff. Take Him!
He is amazing! Inspired me to want to minor in Spanish, Makes sure everyonr understand what your doing and works on congigation and pronunciation ALOT!
Very helpful! Does everything he can to make sure you learn and he gets very excited to see his students catching on. I'm taking him again for Spanish II and hopefully other classes if he is available!!
I wish all teachers would learn from this man!
If you really want to learn how to speak the language this is the man to take. He takes his time in teaching you the language and his Christmas Parties are a nice change from class. Take him or you'll be sorry!!
I took Alonso for Spanish 3 and 4. He is probably my favorite professor so far, he really wants his students to learn and not to just memorize the stuff. He makes classes fun and makes it so you want to be there. I would highly recommend this class to anyone.
Mr. Alonso is a great instructor who is interested in his students receiving a complete education in Spanish, not just the grammar. I have already recomended him to other students. His teaching methods are traditional paper handouts and whiteboard and are very effective.

I can not say enough good about this professor. I wish all professors would model his teaching methods. He is an all around great man. Has a passion for teaching his native language and makes learning it fun. I recommend him to everyone. Spanish is not a requirement for my Major but I have decided to pursue all spanish classes he offers.
Easily one of the best teachers I have every had. His class is easy only because he wants you to learn it and helps you out a lot. Extremely understanding. If you are going to take Spanish, he is your guy. I promise you won't regret it.
Professor Alonso is passionate about his culture, and teaching. It's reflected in his teaching style, and in every class! He goes above and beyond making each student feel special. That alone is reason enough to take anyone of his classes. I'm committed to 1-4; plus conversational classes.If pressed to critique,BAD handwriting. LOL Can't go wrong!
Amazing teacher! would recommend to anyone thinking about taking spanish. Very passionate and just wants you to learn..cant say enough about him!
Possibly the best Spanish teacher TCC has. Extremely helpful, passionate, and able to convey everything to the students. There's a reason his classes fill fast. He's just that awesome.
By far the best teacher ever. He is very committed in to having his students learn. The class is very easy if you study for your tests. Plus he always gives you extra credit on every quiz and exam and then to help you out further you even can drop your lowest grade. I think he is the best teacher that I have ever taken.
The best teacher I have ever had! I am impressed by his passion not only for the language, but also for teaching. You have to study the material, but it gets easier as you go through the semester. If you want to truly learn to speak the language he is the one to take.
A great teacher! very passionate about the subject and cares about the students. I took him for Spanish 1 and 2 and he was great both times. Enjoyed his classes very much. You will learn from this man and he makes it easy to do so.
ONe of the best teachers I have ever had. Makes learning Spanish fun and easy. I will take his class all the way through spanish4
He is very upbeat and makes class fun. He is personable and I will continue taking his classes. He is an excellent teacher.
Senor Alonso is probably the best teacher I have ever had. I have never met a teacher who cared more for his students and his work. He is glad to help with any difficulties. He makes everything very clear and goes over things more than once. Just be respectful and try and you will love and do well in this class.
Alonso is a great professor. He cares about all his students and tries to make sure that everyone understands the material. He wants everyone to succeed in learning is 1st language. He is eager for you speak the language even if it's just fragments. Everything explained in class is practiced more than once. If you put in the time, it's worth it.
Once in a while in college you are lucky enough to find a professor who embdies all of the great qualities of a teacher. Mr Alonso is extremely interested in his students success. He prepares his students well for tests and he is always avaliable to help when needed and If you are respectful hard working and study you will do well.
Mr. Alonso is a wonderful instructor. I have never seen an instructor as enthusiastic as he is about what he teach's. Take him if you can.
Profesor Alonso has to be the absolute best Spanish teacher at TCC. He is wonderful! Enroll in his classes early, they fill up fast!
Mr. Alonso is a doll. He's very sweet, and a family man. He makes learning Spanish easy and interesting. I used to be afraid to speak Spanish in front of other people, but he makes you feel comfortable and will never tease, make fun or make you feel uncomfortable. He is without a doubt one of my most favorite professors ever. I will be taking his classes until I graduate.
Profesor Alonso is the greatest! If you have any interest in Spanish or need foreign language take his class! He really cares about his students and wants us to be successful. He is always encouraging, kind, and makes sure everyone understands the material. I love profesor Alonso!! He is the best!
This is the way all Professor's should be. Helpful, kind and understanding. Wants his students to learn the subject.
He is the best, Spanish teacher because he cares about his students and is willing to work one on one with them. He clearly states the differences between verb tenses and helps you with your pronunciation. Homework assigned is usually done in class.
I took Spanish I from a different instructor and didn't learn a thing. I was scared starting this class but Prof Alonso helped me so much throughout this class, he's so helpful. I couldn't believe I made an A in this class. I have even considered taking Spanish I from him to learn what I missed out on the first time. Take all of his classes.
he is one of the best professors I've had. he has a passion for teaching and he really cares about his students success. highly recommend his class if you really want to learn spanish
Enjoyable class; very educational. The environment was lovely and el profesor obviously took great delight in his vocation. 110 of 100%!
He has such a passion about what he is teaching. The only way to fail this class is to just not show up
Tony is the best instructor ever! He has true compassion for his students and really wants you to learn the language. Before I started this class, I just wanted to get my prereqs out of the way. Now I want to take all 4 semesters of Spanish with Tony and really want to learn the language. All professors could learn a thing or two from Tony!
Professor Alonso is the best I could have ever hoped for taking a foriegn language. He makes it so you want to take the next levels of Spanish. Willing to answer questions and even expand on the answer.
Professor Alonso is super nice and very motivated to help every student reach their full potential. He is laid back and can make Spanish make sense. Even if you feel like you don't know anything about the language, you will learn so much - and at a pace that is easy to keep up with. His class is a great way to boost your confidence in the language!
Professor Alonso is very passionate and always ready to help his students. He has patience with his each student which allows them to learn quicker and with ease.
Most amazing teacher I have ever had! He knows exactly what he is teaching and loves doing it. You only really need the book for vocab (Spanish 1) and for the final (which is open book/notes). I would suggest taking him if you wish to learn Spanish.
Most of the students in my Spanish I class had already had taken two or more years of Spanish so this first semester class was easy for them. Tony is an excellent instructor and cares about all of the students in the class.
He is an amazing professor, he likes to get to know you and will work with you if you have any problems. There is no mandatory homework, but everything is done in class so you have to show up for class so that you don't miss anything!
I really enjoyed this class. The professor is very compassionate about this subject and wants to see his students succeed. If you are looking for a great class and someone who is patient, Look no further. I would take all my spanish classes with him.
I would recommend this class. I took this class in the fall not knowing what to expect since I have been out of school over 20years. This professor was very patient & took his time. I learned a lot. We used the book only for vocab quizzes. He drops the lowest quiz and chapter exam. The final was open book. I would take any spanish class he teach.
This is by far the best class that I have ever taken! Professor Alonso was not only a great instructor, he made the class so much fun and all the material easy to learn. I would definatly recommend this professor to anyone. I learned so much and truly enjoyed every minute in class!!
Wonderful teacher. Well prepared, very clear presentations and a great person.
After taking college classes for the past 3 years at different universities, I can honestly say Tony is the best professor I have ever had. He truly has a heart for teaching and the spanish language and culture. I look forward to going to his classes. He goes the extra mile and gets to know his students. Absolutely helpful and wonderful! Thanks :)
Mr. Alonso is the best teacher I've had. I took Spanish 1-4 with him and loved each class. He makes it interesting and is definitely there to help you learn.
I have taken (SPAN I)SPAN-1213, (SPAN II)SPAN-1301, (SPAN III for Comm)SPAN-1313 with this instructor. Mr. Alonzo has been the best teacher for assistance outside of class time. His ways of incorporating Spanish culture and life experience gives his teaching meaning and encourage me beyond learning the language. The quizzes are tough, but excellent
I took Spanish 1 at OkState, and then transferred to Tulsa Community College. I was enrolled in to Spanish 3, and Tony was an awesome instructor! He is very helpful and cares about the success of his students. I will be taking more of his classes. There is not much homework, but the tests are difficult. You will HAVE to study! Wonderful class.
Senor Alonso really cares about the students and makes sure we all know how to pronounce the words. He explains the lessons and goes over the tests so you know what to study for. If you want to learn how to speak Spanish he is the professor to take.
Mr. Alonso is a very caring and inspirational instructor. I took Spanish for 3 years in high-school and never felt as engaged in learning a new language like I did in this class. I look forward to taking his Spanish II class in the Spring.
Professor Alonso's teaching style allows you to learn by listening, speaking, reading, and writing the language. He cares about your learning experience and he is helpful with any questions you may have. His handouts and practice tests will prepare you for your tests. His passion for teaching encourages you to strive to do your best.
I loved this teacher great attitude (Spanish)
I have to say that Professor Alonso is one of my favorite teachers of all time! He is very qualified; he is a native speaker of Spanish, and he has studied the French language, meaning he knows how non-natives learn languages. You will not regret taking this class. He is very understanding if you miss a day. I would definitely recommend!!
Professor Alonso was great. I would definitely take a class from him again. He really cares about teaching and his students.
Profe Alonso truly has a heart for his students. He takes his time in teaching the material thoroughly, and makes sure his students understand all the concepts. Culture is also a big part of his course; he helps students understand how Hispanics view life in order to get a better understanding of the people.
Span 1. Best prof. I have EVER had at TCC! Took Span in HS & NEVER retained it until Tony. He's passionate and true to his students & the language! I can't say enough about him.. you'll understand once you TAKE HIS CLASS!! I mean, I can now read, write, and speak in Spanish. He is amazing!!
Dr. Alonzo is a great teacher who appears to care a great deal about his students. His course progression is outstanding and is very logical.
Wonderful teacher, not intimidating, takes questions.
Tony is a great teacher that is excellent at explaining and teaching the material, and I would definitely take his class again.
Great class, recommend this professor because of his background and he likes to teach. Hasn't caught on to technology - don't count on seeing your grades on assignments in blackboard.
Mr. Alonso is the best professor I've ever had. He makes sure that all of his students understand the topic, otherwise, he will not move on because he actually wants you to learn the language. He truly does care about his students.
Best Professor I have ever had for a foreign language. Professor Tony Alonso is a good guy. Very helpful. Organized. Patient. Knowledgeable. If you are going to take a Spanish class, this is the guy you want as your Professor! You won't be disappointed. You do have to attend class, take good notes, study and apply yourself! Have fun!
Professor Alonso is amazing! There are four test total and the last one is open book. There are also four vocab quizzes with each chapter. He's very flexible when it comes to your personal life. . If you miss a test he allows you to make it up. Best professor at TCC.
VERY COMPASIONATE TEACHER ENJOYED WORKING WITH HIM FOR TWO SEMESTERS
Took this professor for Spanish 1. Professor Alonzo is one of my favorite teachers! He's there because he wants you to learn, not because it pays well, so he's happy when you do well. He gives 4 tests and 4 quizzes, and drops the lowest in both, plus an easy oral final. He has one extra assignment, and lots of extra credit. TAKE HIM, no regrets! :)
Tony is a unique and inspiring teacher. I feel very lucky to have taken him for Spanish 4, Spanish for Comm. 3 and Advanced Spanish conversation. He creates a learning environment that is fun, respectful, and non-threatening. His teaching style makes learning Spanish simple. I will continue to take his summer courses as long as they are available!
Dr. Alonso was amazing. The best teacher I had while I was there. I felt he really wanted you to actually LEARN the language. He was very laid back and obviously passionate about the language & his students. I felt he cared about each one of this students. He was absolutely amazing & I learned SO much from him!
I wish I could have this professor for everything! This man is amazing! not only is he just a perfect human being he has a way of teaching that makes you want to learn and can not wait to learn more from him. This man does not want anything for you except to learn Spanish and be able to move toward whatever goal you have set to reach. Just amazing!
Tony is such a great professor! He responds to questions outside of class and is very good at explaining everything. He cares about all of his students and wants everyone to do well. He not only teaches you vocabulary, he also teaches you the grammar and how to apply it in real life. Tony is hands down the best foreign language instructor.
Professor Alonso has been one of the best teacher's I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. I took Spanish in high school, but it wasn't until I took his class that I actually retained any of the language. He is a very caring, passionate person. You will be glad you chose him!
I can't commend Professor Alonso enough. If you genuinely want to learn the Spanish language, take his class! I always looked forward to going to Spanish because he made the class enjoyable and interesting. Alonso has a great teaching style and wants you to succeed. I wish I could have him for every Spanish class!
Professor Alonso is absolutely amazing! He is the best professor I have had! He truly genuinely cares about his students and wants his students to learn the language. He is a brilliant man and loves to watch you learn! You are missing out if you don't take him!
Senor Alonso is the best teacher I've had in my college career. He presents material very well and makes sure you understand it 100% before testing. Aside from being an amazing teacher, he has also became a role model in my eyes. He is very family oriented and caring of all. He won't make you feel like a number, he genuinely cares for his students.
Took Spanish1 and couldn't have been happier. I learned a lot in 1 semester and am very excited to continue learning spanish in spanish 2. I highly recommond professor Alonso.
HE IS is absolutely amazing! He is the best professor I have had! He truly cares about his students and wants his students to learn the language and loves when you do. He is a brilliant man and loves to watch you learn! you are missing out if you don't take him!
I had Professor Alonso for Spanish 1 and 2. He is the most genuinely passionate and caring teacher I have ever met. He truly cares about his students and their success. He is so enthusiastic about teaching that I find I emulate him in my own classes. If you want to master Spanish and fall in love with Hispanic culture, Mr. Alonso is for you.
Professor Alonso has a passion for instilling knowledge to his students. He will work with all his students to pass as long as they are willing to put forth their best effort. Extra credit is available. I like the old fashion method of pencil paper tests. Writing, speaking, listening and reading skills are all incorporated. Enjoyed going to class.
I had Professor Tony Alonso for Spanish I and Spanish II. If you're looking for a good Spanish professor, then look no further. He is an amazing teacher. I would say his class is an easy A, but not because it's difficult is any lower than other classes. He made me feel like I was set up to succeed in his class. I am even speaking pretty good Spanish now. After taking his classes, he has inspired me to go even further toward being a fully bilingual person. He is extremely understanding and knows how we feel as students. He will never make a student feel stuck. He will not make a student settle for a bad grade. He will give them opportunities to get a grade they're happy with. Also, he offers plenty of extra credit and awesome group activities. He is an amazing professor and his class will definitely improve your semester.
Don't blink. Don't hesitate. Don't think twice. You'll never regret taking this teacher. You'll leave his class with a mentor, a role model, a friend. Don't miss your chance at being in a class you'll look back on years from now and remember how much you loved it. What are you waiting for?
Professor Alonso is hands down my favorite professor I've had so far. He makes learning Spanish easy, fun and enjoyable. I found myself actually anticipating class. He is a great guy and truly cares about his students. He's very approachable and eager to help. I would recommend Tony to anyone wanting to learn Spanish. He is the ideal professor.
Tony Alonso, PHD is a great teacher. I plan to take more Spanish Classes with Tony Alonso. Class participation is a must, with oral and written practice emphasized. Caring, focused, funny, some homework for your practice, you will need to come to class, and exams are tough. If you want to speak Spanish this is the guy you want as your Professor.
This professor wants student to succeed. It is a very interactive verbal class. Students are never embarrassed if they are having trouble with material. Professor Alonzo loves to teach and it shows. I enjoyed the class and I'm looking forward to the next one. You do have to study daily because it is a lot of material that is covered.
Tony Alonzo is one of the best teachers I have ever had. He motivates by encouraging and complimenting. He is a very positive person. He inspires you to become a better person in all areas of your life!
Tony Alonso is the best of the best - the ultimate class act. If you want to practice Spanish conversation in a supportive, stimulating, non-threatening environment, then take this class. And take it again. There is some preparation required outside of class but it is really about conversation and learning about hispanic culture.
Tony is an excellent teacher and an overall exceptional human being. I have taken his summer conversational course multiple times to keep up with my language skills, and each time I leave feeling more motivated in every aspect of my life. He sets up his classes in a non-threatening, diverse, and welcoming environment. He is truly a blessing to TCC.
Helpful. Clear. Great Teacher of Spanish. Goes out of his way to help his students. Positive. Patient. Kind. Knows his Spanish! Is Cuban.
He makes something that is hard to do a little easier.
Tony is a great teacher and he cares. He wants language learning to be fun and judgement free. He does not really use the book beyond the vocab words and voluntary homework. If you are looking to learn the language and to get the most out of the $200 you spent on the book then do some self-study, or do not purchase the online code.
The best teacher I've had in many years in all the counties I've studied (Russia, Turkey, Finland, USA). Very caring, interesting, hilarious, respectful. I wish more professors were like Tony, may be then the world would become a better place.
Mr. Alonso is by far the best teacher I've ever had. He is dedicated to helping EVERYONE succeed. He is thoughtful, passionate and caring. I would love to take another class with him.
Tony is a gem - a genuinely caring, passionate person whose desire to share language and culture is evident and appreciated. The classes are relaxed, and for visual learners, his teaching style is excellent. Examples go up on the board and each lesson is followed by practice sheets. The classes are graded through tests so there is no "make-work".
Profesor Alonso is one of the best professors I've ever had!!! He is extremely helpful, kind, and caring. I already loved and respected the Spanish language before I took these classes, but now I love and respect it even more. He truly makes each class a comfortable and great learning environment and I HIGHLY recommend him to everyone!!
Mr. Alonso is the best professor I've had so far. He goes over everything at a reasonable pace and sets test dates by the classes readiness. He covers everything thoroughly and there is a lot of practice in class. His passion for his culture is contagious and keeps you interested in the language. His class was a joy
A great professor and an even better person. Very caring and genuinely cares about students and their learning. 10/10 would definitely take his class again.
Professor Alonso's passion for the Spanish language is contagious. He engages with and inspires his students to learn. He is a very fair grader and the class has multiple opportunities for extra credit. He makes himself available to students for questions outside of class-time. If you have the opportunity to take a class of his you should!
A fantastic professor and a great man. He is the most respectful and passionate professor I have had the honor of learning from. You get more than what you pay for, and If you do your part you WILL pass the class even if you're just doing it for credit hours because he will make you WANT to learn Spanish. He truly cares about his subject and you.
Professor Tony is my favorite teacher in TCC. He cares for his students and he wants them to learn Spanish. If you don't understand anything you can literally ask him as many times as you want and he will be more than happy to answer you. I would highly recommend this class.
Tony is my favorite professor and I have over 100 hours at TCC so that has to say something! This was my 5th time taking his summer advanced conversational course and I promise it won't be my last! Motivating and inspiring, the class is set up in a non-threatening environment, all types of students from all backgrounds are welcome. Great practice!
Tony is an amazing soul that truly just loves to teach students Spanish. he helps you to immerse yourself in Spanish by practicing pronunciation and having everyone participate. he is never rude or sarcastic about a students learning. he is full of emotion when teaching and will answer any question. he does great explain grammar to English speakers
I have my Bachelors Degree from Tulsa University and my Masters Degree from Oklahoma State University and Professor Tony Alonso is by far the best Instructor I have had for Spanish. I can recommend Prof. Alonso 100% and I give him a 10 in all areas. If you want to learn Spanish, Professor Tony Alonso should be your first choice. Alonso is the best.
I highly recommend everyone take a class with Tony! I've had Spanish 1, 2, and 3 with him and I'm going to take 4. I'm not the least bit nervous about Span 4 because his classes and teaching style is very relaxed and encouraging. If you put forth effort, you'll do well. If you feel yourself struggling, ask Tony for help because he will help a lot!
Learning a language can be inherently different, but Tony makes sure that it is not the case with his class. He takes time and effort to explain each topic clearly, and in detail . He's also a very caring individual who puts the wellbeing and improvement of his students as a top priority and it shows in his general demeanor and attitude.
Dr. Alonso is the most kind, compassionate, caring, and dedicated professors I've ever met. He genuinely cares about his students' grades and general well-being as if they were his own family. He encourages his classes to follow along with him through Spanish 1, 2, 3, 4, and on just to personally make sure they excel. We need more teachers like him
Great class with a great teacher
The absolute best!!!
You just sit in class ,He motivates the students to participate and learn more than just for the grade
Tony Alonso, PhD. is the best Instructor I have ever had for Spanish. I have my Bachelor's Degree from Tulsa University and my Master's Degree from Oklahoma State Uv. and I am returning to become fluent in Spanish and I hope to take all my Spanish Classes with Tony Alonso. Dr. Alonso is helpful, passionate, cultural, engaged, supportive. Disfrutar!
Sr. Alonso is such a great professor, he truly cares about his students and is motivating in the classroom. If you miss a test or have things going on outside of class he will give you the opportunity to make it up, and he only wants to see you do good. His lectures are easy to understand!
This is my 7th time taking Tony as a professor and I will continue taking his classes until he stops teaching. Not only is Tony an amazing Spanish teacher but he truly cares about each and every one of his students. It's not often you find a teacher so passionate about what they do that they make you want to do what they do! Please take his class.
Professor Alonso has a love for teaching. He does everything he can to help students succeed. I keep taking Spanish classes with Professor Alonso because I like learning Spanish and it feels like family when our class is together. Some of the students are together for all of the classes. We get to know each other and help each other succeed.
Professor wants everyone in his classes to learn Spanish well, and he is very forgiving of varying ability levels. His classes aren't a cakewalk, but he does offer plenty of extra credit opportunities. If I could have a class every semester with Mr. Alonso, I absolutely would!
Tony is an amazing professor. His classes feel like family, and his passionate lectures will pull you in and keep your interest from start to finish. He is very responsive outside of class and dedicated to your success. With Tony, you'll not only learn the Spanish language, but you'll also be introduced to the wonderful culture that it accompanies.
Professor Alonso focuses on getting his students to communicate in Spanish. He is also a very caring teacher. He is "retired" but still teaching and contributing his experience. He is also accomodating to adult learners.
A perfect mix of grammatical information with conversation practice.
Mr. Alonso is an amazing Spanish teacher. He brings passion to the classroom and makes sure everyone understands what he is teaching. Class attendance is vital to the class to practice the language. Homework is optional, its given more to benefit you rather than to turn in. If you make time to study vocab and prepare for tests you will pass!
Tony is a very passionate educator. He truly cares about all of his students past, present and future. While attendance is not mandatory, I highly urge the student to attend every class. You won't want to miss anything. The class is fun and Tony discusses the Hispanic culture and provides many opportunities for practicing your conversations.
Profesor Alonso is the most dedicated instructor I've ever had. He's very encouraging and truly wants his students to succeed. He is very accessible. Responds immediately to email. He's a very busy man and I don't know how he finds the time to do everything, but he does. Lots of extra credit and very flexible when it comes to make-up exams.
Profesor Alonso is an amazing instructor! I have never had a teacher who cares more about his students success and well-being, both in the classroom and in their lives outside academics. He's able to encourage students to continue learning and using Spanish. He created an open environment where I had no fear to practice speaking the language.
Profesor Alonso is honestly the most caring and sincere instructor. I began learning Spanish with that new-language shyness that nearly everyone has, but Sr. Alonso provided such a caring environment that made us all feel so comfortable. Many opportunities to practice and he corrects in the most gentle way. 12/10. Take Sr. Alonso!
Took this class during 2020 and was online. Worked with us very well and the class was easy to follow and did not stress me out. Did well at teaching us how to have conversations in Spanish. To get the most out of the class you need to be active and attend the class. He is a very respectful and genuine person.
Awesome professor. Tony is kind, accessible and willing to work with and for his students. He is knowledgeable about the subject (Spanish) and about methods of teaching. He sincerely wants his students to succeed.
Professor Alonso understands why you want to learn Spanish - to speak it. So many classes I've had have relied heavily on writing coursework, but he puts it into practice. He creates a comfortable and safe environment. I've never been embarrassed to make mistakes. He also does a good amount of cultural exercises. Just a super empathetic person!
The best Spanish teacher I've ever had! He is extremely nice and understanding, doesn't judge at all. Cares about the students a lot and only wants the best for everyone. Class isn't hard if you pay attention and participate.
Mr. Alonso is great at making sure everyone is comfortable and confident in class to ensure a productive learning environment. If you have questions outside of class, just call/email. Must pay attention in this class because everyone speaks and participates as he calls on you. The more you put into this class, the more you'll get out of it!
Tony is a phenomenal teacher and this class is a real gem! Indispensable if you're serious about improving your Spanish conversation skills (something which, sadly, is often overlooked in many introductory Spanish courses). I've taken it several times and have noticed a significant improvement in my oral skills throughout the years. ¡Tómala amigos!
Professor Alonso is very patient and encouraging to all students. Everyone in the class had different ability levels. However, he was able to make everyone feel comfortable and use the opportunity to improve their Spanish conversation skills. Take his class!
Professor Alonso is the best teacher I have ever had. He creates the perfect environment for not only learning the technical aspects of Spanish, but inspiring the students with the confidence to speak with a minimal amount of anxiety in a class with the full spectrum of language proficiency. I was up to 1300 and it cut me off. Take his class!!
I appreciate the attention and thought that Tony gives to each speaker. It is easy to speak when there is a teacher that creates a safe space for ALL humans- which is essential! I have enjoyed being involved with every class and I have learned a tremendous amount.
I would recommend Professor Alonso to anyone. No matter what level you are in the language, he makes sure everyone feels comfortable in prepared in class.
Professor Alonso makes a class into a community with his stories, his personal check-ins, and his assignments that allow you to share something that matters to you.

Profesor Alonso teaches not only about the Spanish language, he also teaches about Hispanic culture. I have improved significantly in my ability to speak Spanish and remember words.
Professor Alonso is an amazing teacher with years of experience. I would say if he doesn't find your life experiences interesting or impressive, you may not get as much as as an opportunity to talk as the other students. If you're impoverished, I would just suggest that you make something up so you'll have more conversation time.
Professor Tony Alonso was always very caring, dedicated, polite, personal, positive and respectful to ALL of his students who were all treated equally and with respect. He was never judgmental or critical of his students, when they attempted to pronounce words in the Spanish language, and he made his students as comfortable as possible.
[FYI-My course was SPA2993 - which is a renamed course after TCC changed their Spanish program.] Tony is a very compassionate teacher. He wants everyone to succeed.
