Usage Note
Comprensivo is a classic false friend: it means 'understanding' or 'sympathetic' (es muy comprensiva con sus alumnos), NOT 'comprehensive'—that is exhaustivo or completo. The related verb is comprender and the noun comprensión.
Examples
"Su profesora fue muy comprensiva con su situación."
Natural Translation
His teacher was very understanding about his situation.
