Spanish Specialist

My methods are successful and holistic, encompassing all learning styles, and cover the six components of literacy. As a successful Spanish tutor, my students grades improve one or two levels.

I specialize in tutoring Spanish from introductory through college level. I have six years of experience tutoring children (as young as preschool) and adults. I have taught both Spanish individual and group classes in a variety of locations throughout NY and CT. My native language is English, however I have lived and studied in Spain. I am passionate about all things Spanish (language, music, dance, food, culture).

I believe that there is no such thing as a "bad" student/child. There are children that need more help and attention than others but everyone deserves the same amount of effort. I am very patient and laid back and really want to provide the best care possible to all children that I teach. I believe that students learn best when they are completely involved in the lesson. I like hands-on activities and less lecturing. The children that I teach now could testify to my ability to bring humor into the classroom and to make sure that learning is fun.
I received my BA from one of the top liberal arts colleges in the country. In addition to my psychology degree, I also studied Spanish extensively. Based on the liberal arts education that I received, I am fully capable of teaching a number of subjects including Spanish, History, and English. Currently, I teach Spanish and US Histor ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I enjoy working with children, and have a passion for literature and language. I believe that my love of the written word can be “contagious”, and that by modeling this love of literature, my students will come to see the value in studying the classics: insight into the thoughts and ideas of others. I have high expectations for all of my students, and I know that each student learns at a different rate and through a different approach. I believe in tailoring my methods in order to meet the particular learning style of each of my students.
Upon graduation from college in the 80's, I taught adult education for three years. I then entered the business world, where I had a successful career in sales and operations management. In 2009, I chose to leave my corporate career and reenter education because of a desire to utilize my strengths and do something that helps people. I obtai ... read more

More About This Tutor...

My goal is to help your child achieve success. I explain real-life applications of the subject (i.e., metric system--repair of foreign cars.) I encourage questions and dialogue. I use praise when warranted but am firm on deadlines and honesty. Aware of attention span, I take appropriate breaks or switch to another subject. I remind him to read and follow directions and to check his work over before he hands it in. I believe that in this fast-paced technical age your child needs the best chance possible to compete successfully. I have found that even with one exposure, a good educator can have a huge positive impact upon a student's confidence and comprehension. It is very gratifying to both student and teacher when this occurs.
I have had a successful career as a medical scientist in hospital, government, and reference laboratories in the northeast and southern U.S., holding ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I loved teaching and found it very rewarding. I have been told that I have the patience of a saint. This may be due, in part, to the fact that I have a brother who suffered traumatic brain injury when we were teenagers and interact with him on a regular basis. I also enjoy the company and curiosity of children. My approach to teaching is step-by-step. I like to keep things simple and make them easy to follow. I am a gentle person and believe that if students feel comfortable, they will ask questions. My objective is to ensure that when we complete a lesson, the student has understood the material covered.
As a college graduate with a degree in Accounting, I worked for IBM for 30 years. However, I was fortunate to obtain jobs that enabled me to effectively develop other skills that I thoroughly enjoyed. Those skills include both writing and teaching. In a systems supp ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I have several years of tutoring experience at various settings including urban, suburban, and rural high and middle schools. I have tutored such subjects as French, Spanish, Math, and English. I have also tutored college students in subjects including sociology, psychology, statistics, and others. I have instructed students on various study techniques, writing skills, and note-taking practices. I am currently a licensed social worker with a range of experiences building rapport with young people and collaborating with school staff and officials.
I enjoy tutoring immensely and look forward to beginning again. I like the challenge of engaging and reaching different types of learners. I use my social works skills in tutoring and vice versa. I think these two fields are closely related in the sense that I seek to empower my students as I would my clients.

As a college and high school English instructor, I have had the opportunity to teach and tutor students on many different levels. I have worked with those in need of remediation as well as students who are are in honors or advanced placement classes. I have successfully tutored several students who have attended ivy league and top tier schools, including Massachusetts Institute of Technology and University of Pennsylvania. I believe my experience as a professional writer working for nationally circulated magazines enhances my teaching skills. My first biography will be published this summer by ABC-Clio/Greenwood Press.
My teaching philosophy revolves around the notion that students need respect, encouragement, and guidance to succeed in all of their academic endeavors. I believe the best way to inspire students is by conveying our own passion for the subject through out attitu ... read more

As a new teacher, I believe all students can succeed in academics. I will incorporate hands-on activities and use connections to your child's everyday life, in order to produce independent and active learners. I will also present curriculum in an assortment of lessons and activities, in an exciting and interesting manner. Furthermore, I will provide differentiation to meet student needs in order to maximize their learning progress.I will instill the importance of learning, not just for memorization and what can be learned, but also for what they can experience. I hope that my expectation for success in their lives forever encourages my students to do their best.

I am a well-rounded diversified individual with both corporate and academic environment experiences. I believe that each child is unique and learns in different ways. I value spending time with a child, forming a tutor-student bond, and the learning takes place from there. My teaching style is very interactive and supportive. I am very reliable and attentive. My strong listening skills also play a major role in my success as a tutor.
During the past 6 years, I have extensive experiences as a substitute teacher in the public school systems in both CT and FL. I have taught all subjects within grade levels K-12 including special education . I enjoy all age levels of children. In addition, teachers within the school systems have asked me to do some private tutoring for them for their struggling students. I find it to be very rewarding!

I enjoy teaching and my biggest reward is helping students achieve their desired goal. I always make sure my students are comfortable and relaxed and usually gain their confidence very quickly. Once I know what students expect, I work diligently to help them understand the concepts to experience academic success. I am very sensitive to the different ways students learn and make it a point to lead each one at their own capacity.
I lived overseas for many years and had the opportunity to work at a French University teaching ESOL. With this experience, I returned to the USA and finished my BS, and worked as a full time high school teacher and permanent substitute. I had the opportunity to be a high school English teacher for a private school, and tutored during the evenings and summers. During the last nine years I have tutored English, SAT prep, social studies, ESOL and study skill ... read more

I enjoy working closely with students and their families to achieve the student's goals. I know that the definition of "success" can vary greatly, and have worked with students in many different situations--students on the verge of failing a course, those trying to advance beyond their current coursework, and students preparing for college entrance exams. I often spend months or years working with each student and enjoy seeing them progress academically and gain confidence. With plenty of patience and teamwork, I believe that I can help a student to achieve his or her goals.
My educational career was full of challenges that have given me a broad basis of knowledge for tutoring. In high school, I earned the International Baccalaureate (IB) diploma. I subsequently earned a BS in Ceramic Engineering and an MBA in Operations Management. I started tutoring in high school when I ma ... read more

From my teaching experiences, I have learned that I enjoy educating, as well as learning from, students of various ages. From my courses and classroom experiences, I have learned that each student may benefit from various types of learning such as visual, auditory, kinesthetic, and/or a combination of learning styles. I have learned how to gain student interest and engagement through various methods of motivation, such as technology, or other student interests. In order to be a successful teacher/tutor, I believe that it is necessary to get to know each student’s academic level as well as interests in order to develop adequate lessons.

A Little Bit About Me...

As an educator of children I realize that teaching them is more rewarding than anything I have ever done. There is nothing more gratifying than watching an individual excel with a subject after I have tutored them. My diverse background in many subjects has helped me become a very informative,creative instructor. I was appointed to represent several of the tutoring companies I worked for as a communicator answering important questions which benifitted their future curriculum and inner workings. I have been a tutor and site director in the district I work in.
I have a very diverse background in education and employment. I have earned a BA degree in English Literature and I taught English as a second language to children and adults.

I have recently graduated from the M.F.A. program at Western Connecticut State University with a degree in Professional and Creative Writing. I completed my undergraduate work at W.C.S.U. as well, earning degrees in English: Creative Writing and Philosophy. After completing my undergraduate studies, I stayed at W.C.S.U. for my graduate work, and I also undertook the responsibilities of a graduate assistant. I taught two classes a semester and worked in the writing lab as a writing consultant, helping students with papers for various classes. In the writing lab, I not only honed my skills in detecting mechanical and grammatical errors, but I also learned how to teach students lessons in correcting and avoiding errors in the future.
I am a very descriptive and thorough teacher. I enjoy explaining subjects first, then writing examples on the board to encourage note-taking. Then I like ... read more
