Experience Summary
I am an experienced and professional Spanish tutor. I have a deep love and passion for everything Spanish. Since I started Spanish language cIasses in high school, I became fascinated with the language and culture. I graduated college with a BA Cum Laude. Spanish was my major and I minored in French and Italian. I have lived and studied in Spain (University of Seville) and traveled extensively throughout Mexico and South America. My area of expertise is two-fold in that I have an extensive Spanish language and culture background and the ability to share this in an effective way with kids. Spanish was my favorite course in college and I love to revisit it each time I tutor a student.
Teaching Style
Whenever I tutor, I try to explain to the students that learning, and particularly learning Spanish, is going to be fun. To start my tutoring process I try to understand what is needed to improve the student’s learning skills. Then I try to see what method or process works best for the student to understand the material. Thirdly, I go over the rules for the subject at hand and write those down on a piece of paper for the student to use as a guide to solve problems. I like to leave a session with a student feeling good about himself because he has progressed and learned something new so that he eagerly awaits our next session with gusto!
