I am very happy with our experience so far with Varsity Tutors. They matched my daughter with reading specialist Mary and she is wonderful! My 10 year old daughter feels happy after her sessions and believes her tutor has already helped her.

Alaina: Long Island City tutor

Certified Tutor

I studied Spanish and Journalism for my undergraduate degrees, and then attained a Master's degree in Hispanic literature. While pursuing my Master's, I taught university-level Spanish classes. I have now been living in Spain for 8 years, and since living here, I have gained experience teaching English as a second language to all ages. I taught for two years at the high school level, and then a year in a grade school. I also worked at an English academy giving lessons to adults and preschool-aged children.

Hobbies

I speak fluent Spanish (C2) and Portuguese (C1). I have always been interested in languages, starting with Spanish and continuing with Portuguese now. In the future I intend to study Italian and Polish, as my great grandparents immigrated from these countries to the U.S. many years ago. In my free time, I like to read, practice foreign languages, and go to the gym.
