Sara Moses - saramoses310@gmail.com.

Sara Moses is an experienced Spanish instructor providing immersion-style classes with the goal of getting students to speak the language quickly.  My personal experience with the language is limited to a couple of years of high school Spanish (50 years ago) and a smattering of visits to Mexico and Spain over the years. About four weeks ago I enrolled in Sara's Beginner-to-Intermediate Spanish Class, a six-week class held at the Tuckahoe Clubhouse in Stoney Creek. She took us from the basic alphabet, numbers, and days of the week to simple sentences and two-way conversations within the first class. Each week reinforces and then builds on the previous week’s lesson. For me, it is an easy and fun way to learn. Sequential classes will continue throughout the year. Currently, Beginner-to-Intermediate classes are Mondays from 3:15 pm to 4:30 pm and Wednesdays from 4:30 pm to 5:45 pm.  Intermediate-to-Advanced classes are Mondays from 4:45 pm to 6 pm.

I would like to recommend the new Spanish beginner and intermediate classes being taught at Tuckahoe Community Center on Mondays (intermediate to advanced) and Wednesdays (beginner to intermediate) from 4:30 to 5:45 pm. Each class runs for six weeks; classes will be held all year. Sara Moses has taught Spanish at the Speak Language Center in Charlottesville and in private and public schools and now lives in Stoney Creek. Come join the fun and learn Spanish or improve your skills. For more information contact Sara Moses at saramoses310@gmail.com. Submitted by Tim Hess. January 2023

Sara Moses (saramoses310@gmail.com) will be offering a new beginners Spanish class on Sunday afternoons from 2:15-3:30 pm, starting March 5th at Tuckahoe Clubhouse in addition to her weekday classes. I am completing my first 6-week class with Sara and I quickly signed on for another session. Her enthusiastic teaching method creates an exciting class environment where we progress quickly while we enjoy conversing in Spanish on topics of interest to us. She makes even the review of grammar and vocabulary enjoyable. I highly recommend Sara's class, especially to those who are like me, want to be at ease while carrying on a conversation with a native speaker. Submitted by Janie Friedlein. February 2023

Lili Gill - 434-227-8305

• I highly recommend Lili Gill as a piano teacher. Very much a beginner, I've been taking piano lessons from her here in Nellysford for several years and find her to be a wonderfully talented piano teacher (and pianist). She teaches both children and adults, and at all levels. Her enthusiasm for music is infectious, she has a gentle yet knowledgeable and encouraging teaching manner, and seems to have an infinite amount of patience! Her website with contact information and more details is LiliGillPiano.com. Submitted by Laura Sorenson. August 2021

Gloria Sumter - 434-981-7487

I highly recommend Gloria Sumter, Reading Specialist. She is retired from Nelson County Public Schools. Gloria did wonders for our daughter. She was struggling with her reading in first grade due to a vision issue. Gloria worked with her that summer and got her where she needed to be. Last week our daughter graduated from UGA Magna Cum Laude with a Master's degree at 20 years old. Gloria is fantastic!! She can be reached at 434-981-7487 or email her at gloriasumter@gmail.com.
