My favorite professor on the UCSB campus. Pedro Craveiro goes above and beyond to help his students. He is caring, accommodating, and passionate about teaching. At the time of writing, I have taken 4 classes with him and I will be to taking more. Each class has been engaging, insightful, and fun. I could not recommend him enough.

I previously took 125A & words cannot describe how incredible Pedro is. It's clear he is passionate about teaching his students & finding ways to engage them. There's lots of variety in the weekly assignments to break up monotony, encouraging people to get creative with showing their understanding of the material. Very detailed + helpful feedback!

Pedro is the kindest professor I've had. He goes out of his way to help you learn and I felt respected as a person. I'm able to have short conversations in Spanish now and it's definitely because of this class. The only parts that really were difficult were the homework assignments, which he sadly has no control over.

Pedro is a great professor. I enjoyed taking his class and will take it again next quarter. He wants to see everyone succeed. I definitely recommend taking a course with him. There is always homework but it isn't too bad. The only thing that I did not like was having to pay for the online textbook and the lingua meeting sessions.

Pedro is incredibly kind and he really cares about his students! The assignments definitely require a lot of effort, but I can confidently say my Spanish has improved quite a lot over the quarter and the people I've spoken to agree. 100% recommend rearranging your schedule to take his classes!
