Alicia, Hello neighbor, well, sort of....I am in Fremont, but l left my heart in San Jose after living there for many years. At the Family History Center in San Jose, on Thursday nights, directing the center, is a fantastic lady, Patsy Ludwig. 
Patsy has been researching in Mexico, for I believe, about 20 years. Patsy CO-wrote "A Beginner's Guide to Hispanic Genealogy." Needless to say, Patsy is very knowledgeable. I am sure Patsy will be a great resources to set you on track for your guest in Genealogy.

When I visited the Family History Center in San Jose, there were many patrons there, and the allotted time was one hour at the film reader. By then again, I am sure the attendance varies.

Currently, I research in Fremont. The center is in South Fremont, at the Milpitas City limit. Most of the time I am the only patron at the center, and have full use of the film readers.

The volunteers in Fremont are very special people, helpful, knowledgeable, and it is a pleasure knowing them all. So, if you are in North San Jose, I would be happy to assist you. Otherwise, Patsy and her staff are fantastic.
