Alvaro Rodrigo

Certified Tutor

I am a graduate of Amherst College where I received a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science and Spanish Literature. Since graduating I've worked as a paralegal in a corporate law firm and a freelance translator. Before that I worked as a teacher during my summers in college instructing adolescents from both upscale and low-income neighborhoods. While I tutor a wide variety of subjects I'm most passionate about Spanish, History, and Literature. In my experience, helping students learn Spanish and prepare for standardized tests is the most rewarding part of teaching and tutoring. I'm a native Spanish speaker and love teaching the language and culture that I grew up with to others. Similarly, there is no feeling more satisfying than seeing a student I'm working with experience an "aha moment" as what they're learning starts to click and their confidence consequently grows. In my opinion, education isn't one size fits all, as such I individually tailor my lessons for each student I work with. When I'm not tutoring you can find me reading a book, playing soccer, or bemoaning my decision to be a life-long fan of the New York Jets.
