Eric

Middle School Math Tutor • +23 Subjects

I am a graduate student in the Masters of Interdisciplinary Data Science Program at Duke University. Previously, I worked at Student Support Services in Puerto Rico as a Data Analyst, and, prior to that position, I worked as a Math and English tutor. Throughout my life, I have tutored college kids from less privileged backgrounds, who carry different types of academic and personal struggles, and I empathized a lot with them. I know the feeling of walking in to a classroom and understanding nothing, the void that forms in your head. My goal is for people to understand and learn. Once you learn a concept, nothing can break your foundations. Hobbies: reading, music, art, books, dancing, writing

Mateo

SAT Subject Test in Spanish with Listening Tutor • +28 Subjects

Born and raised in Colombia! Fully Fluent in English as well. As a native Spanish speaker, I am eager to help students improve their Spanish reading, writing, and speaking abilities, offering insights into both the language and the rich cultural contexts in which it is used. My background in anthropology and Latin American studies allows me to provide a unique perspective on language learning, connecting linguistic skills with cultural understanding. As a cultural anthropologist, educator, and native Spanish speaker, I am passionate about helping students explore the complexities of human societies, develop critical thinking skills, and master language proficiency. My academic journey, which includes a Master's degree from Florida Atlantic University and ongoing PhD studies at the University of Calgary, has equipped me with a deep understanding of anthropology and interdisciplinary approaches to social sciences. Throughout my career, I have gained extensive experience working with diverse student populations. As a Graduate Teaching Assistant at both Florida Atlantic University and the University of Calgary, I have assisted in designing course materials, facilitated engaging discussions, and provided personalized support to students in subjects such as Introductory Anthropology, Philosophy, and Medical Anthropology. My role as an Adjunct Professor at Florida Atlantic University allowed me to develop a comprehensive curriculum exploring the cultural, historical, and sociopolitical dimensions of peace and violence, encouraging students to analyze complex global issues from an anthropological perspective. I am particularly passionate about tutoring anthropology, Latin American studies, research methods, and Spanish language skills. My approach to tutoring is student-centered, focusing on creating a supportive atmosphere that facilitates open dialogue and intellectual exploration. I believe in adapting my teaching style to meet the individual needs of each student, whether that means providing additional explanations, using visual aids, or relating concepts to real-world examples. For language learners, this might involve immersive conversation practice, culturally relevant materials, or tailored exercises to address specific language learning goals. My teaching philosophy is rooted in the belief that education is a transformative tool for personal growth and social understanding. I strive to make complex anthropological concepts and language skills accessible and relevant to students' lives, encouraging them to think critically about the world around them. I also value inclusivity and diversity in education, having experience working with English as a Second Language (ESL) students and adapting my teaching methods to accommodate various learning styles and backgrounds. Outside of academia, I have a keen interest in museum education and public anthropology. My experiences as a Museum Educator at the Miami Children's Museum and as a Research Intern at History Miami Museum have given me valuable insights into communicating complex ideas to diverse audiences. These experiences inform my tutoring approach, allowing me to make anthropological concepts and language learning engaging and relatable to students from various backgrounds. In my spare time, I enjoy exploring new cultures through travel, participating in academic conferences, and engaging in community-based research projects. These activities not only enrich my personal life but also contribute to my ability to bring fresh perspectives and real-world examples into my tutoring sessions, particularly when it comes to language and cultural studies.

Breanne

ACT Reading Tutor • +17 Subjects

I will be graduating this Spring from Virginia Wesleyan University with double degrees in political science with a prelaw track and Hispanic studies. I am passionate about legal studies and have made it my mission to expand the prelaw community on my campus and beyond. I am president of the university's prelaw society and host an LSAT study group, leading dedicated individuals in their LSAT preparation. I am equally passionate about my work in Hispanic studies. I was enrolled in a dual-immersion program and began immersive Spanish education in elementary school. I took the AP Spanish test my freshman year of high school, and while at the university, I have tutored over 45 students in their Spanish classes. I have studied abroad in Spain and intend to continue expanding my academic passion for language and culture. Test-taking is a vital skill to master at both the high school and college levels. I have achieved high scores on the LSAT, ACT, AP Spanish, AP Human Geography, AP Psychology, and AP World History exams, and I hope to help other students achieve the same.

Andrea

Middle School Math Tutor • +29 Subjects

As a native Spanish speaker and passionate educator, I bring over 2 years of tutoring experience with a strong focus on conversational Spanish and cultural fluency. I've worked with learners of all ages and levelsfrom beginners just starting out to students in advanced college courses. At the undergraduate level, I've tutored classes such as First-Year Spanish I & II, Intermediate Spanish, and Spanish Conversation and Culture, helping students build confidence in both academic and real-world settings. Whether you're just starting out or looking to improve your fluency through real-world conversation, I tailor each lesson to your goals and learning style. I create a supportive, low-pressure environment where you can build confidence, expand your vocabulary, and speak more naturally. In addition to my Spanish minor, I hold a Bachelor's in Computer Science from The University of Texas at Austin and have taught coding (Java, Python, C/C#) to students of all ages. breaking down complex concepts into clear, manageable steps. My lessons focus on hands-on learning and confidence-building, whether you're preparing for a class or building your own projects. Above all, I'm passionate about mentoring students as they grow, ask questions, and succeed in both language and tech.

Daria

Pre-Algebra Tutor • +31 Subjects

I am a current undergraduate student at Cornell University studying Electrical and Computer Engineering. I have a strong science and math background having taken many courses in Physics, Computer Programming, and various mathematics subjects ranging from Geometry, to Multivariable Calculus, to Differential Equations. I am also very passionate about English, Literature, Russian Studies, Spanish Language, and History. I believe that the key to success is having a well rounded education, so when I am not programming microcontrollers, one can either find me watching Russian news channels to polish up my vocabulary, reading textbooks on the history of the Middle East, or simply immersing myself in a Jane Austen novel. In my free time I also enjoy training for CrossFit, playing the viola, and traveling. Hobbies: books, traveling, music, art, travel, reading, writing

Frequently Asked Questions

The speaking section requires rapid-fire responses to prompts with minimal preparation time, which is where many students struggle. Tutors work with you on real-time conversation skills, teaching you how to organize thoughts quickly, use varied verb tenses naturally, and recover smoothly from mistakes without losing fluency. Practice with recorded responses and detailed feedback on pronunciation, intonation, and coherence helps you build the confidence and muscle memory needed to perform under pressure on test day.

AP Spanish reading passages test both vocabulary recognition and deep comprehension of nuanced cultural and literary texts. Tutors teach you how to identify main ideas quickly, distinguish between explicit and implicit information, and recognize rhetorical devices—skills that go beyond simple translation. They also help you develop a system for tackling unfamiliar vocabulary in context and managing time effectively across multiple passages, so you're not spending too long on one question.

The AP Spanish writing tasks require you to synthesize information from multiple sources (audio, reading, and personal knowledge) while maintaining academic Spanish. Tutors help you structure essays with clear thesis statements, develop arguments with specific evidence from sources, and write with grammatical accuracy and appropriate register. They provide feedback on common mistakes like anglicized sentence structures, verb tense inconsistencies, and weak transitions—areas where even advanced Spanish speakers often lose points.

Listening comprehension is challenging because you hear authentic Spanish at natural speed with no repetition, and you must understand cultural references, accents, and rapid speech patterns. Tutors expose you to diverse audio sources—interviews, podcasts, news broadcasts—to train your ear for different registers and regional variations. They teach you active listening strategies like identifying key words, predicting content, and managing anxiety, plus how to answer questions even when you miss some details.

Grammar accuracy matters significantly, especially in the writing and speaking sections where errors directly impact your score. Students typically struggle most with subjunctive mood usage (knowing when to trigger it), preterite vs. imperfect distinction in narratives, and ser vs. estar in context. Tutors help you move beyond memorizing rules to understanding when and why you use each structure, using targeted practice and real passages from previous exams so the grammar becomes automatic rather than something you have to think through during the test.

The AP Spanish exam integrates culture throughout—reading passages reference historical events, literary traditions, and social issues from Spanish-speaking countries, and the speaking/writing prompts often ask you to discuss cultural perspectives. You don't need to memorize specific facts, but tutors help you develop familiarity with major cultural themes, historical contexts, and contemporary issues so you can understand passages more deeply and discuss culture authentically in your responses. This contextual knowledge also helps you infer meaning when you encounter unfamiliar vocabulary.

Effective practice test use involves taking full-length exams under timed conditions to build stamina and identify weak areas, then reviewing every single question—not just the ones you missed. Tutors help you analyze patterns in your errors (Are you missing implied information? Struggling with specific grammar? Running out of time?), then target those specific weaknesses with focused drills. They also teach you pacing strategies for each section so you're not rushing through the speaking or writing portions, which directly impacts quality and score.

Most students benefit from 3-4 months of consistent preparation, though students starting from lower proficiency levels may need longer. Realistic improvement depends on your starting point—students with intermediate Spanish might gain 2-3 points on the 5-point scale with focused tutoring, while advanced students often focus on eliminating careless errors to reach a 4 or 5. Tutors work with you to set specific, measurable goals for each section and track progress through practice tests so you can see exactly where you're improving and where you need more work.
