Award-Winning Private Latin Tutoring in Arcadia, CA

"Today's lesson went exceptionally well, by far the best one we've had thus far. We began, as has become custom, by reviewing the 60 most popular verbs in Spanish, but this time we focused on conjugations more than anything else. An infinitive would pop up on the screen and then I would point to a subject and the student would need to construct a complex sentence that demonstrates a) her mastery of the conjugation as well as b) her understanding of what the verb meant. After we went through all those, we did the lesson of the day which was telling/speaking about time. We covered the 2 different ways to do it as well as terms and expressions typically associated with telling time. Following that I gave her about 6 new verbs to memorize and how they are relevant to the unit. Lastly, we spent 15 minutes talking, I had her tell me about her dissertation. She did exceedingly well at talking around and describing the words that she didn't know how to say. Very excited about the next couple classes!"

"Today's session covered reflexive verbs. We focused on how to properly use them in sentences and conversations. During our session, we also used a website to do a practice test and go over any material that the student was having difficulty with. The student left the session confident about the material and there was a definite progress from this session. I have left the student with a link to continue practicing their reflexive verbs and a link to take a test and to play audio on the material."
