Award-Winning Languages Tutors in Washington

...lively! Besides it being my mother tongue, my formal liberal arts and letters education in Italy has given me a level of proficiency and sophistication with the language that very few have. That is how we learn best: when we are also enjoying ourselves, and what's not to enjoy with something as poetic, musical, and passionate as Italian? It would be an honor to patiently help you perfect your listening/speaking skills so hopefully you can...

...I graduated from Florida International University, in June 2010, with a Bachelor of Arts in Spanish. In April 2014, I finished my Masters in Psychology with a focus on Mental Health Counseling. I have many years of experience working with children and adults in the educational and behavioral fields. Spanish is my first language. Each person is unique and I would love to share my knowledge and experience teaching you a new language.

I have completed coursework in many other areas, such as statistics, geometry, physics, Spanish, chemistry and art. I'm no stranger to standardized testing either. I have worked with kids of all ages in a variety of educational settings, from academic tutoring to guitar and...

...I particularly love tutoring students because of the one-on-one learning opportunities. I also enjoy connecting individuals learning style and specific learning needs to the specific lessons we are working on. My tutoring philosophy is that I meet you right where you are and guide you to the next level. It is important to make learning fun and relevant. My strength is to know my student well enough to foster a connection with languages, while using...

...it. I love tutoring all levels of Spanish. I explain concepts very well and give clear examples so the students understand. I always have a great rapport with my students. They find it easy to talk to me and feel comfortable asking me questions. In my free time, I love sports, especially baseball and football. I am a big Yankee fan!

...with. The feeling when a student "gets it" or the "lightbulb" moment is one that is very rewarding I feel it is one of my callings in life to help others overcome their difficulties. The purpose of teaching is not to pour information into the minds of students, but to invite and inspire the student to apply the knowledge to multiple situations and be inspired to seek further knowledge. I make a conscious effort to...

...combined with my familiarity with the GRE means I can help you achieve the result you wish. My way of teaching focuses on understanding instead of rote memorization and that each pupil is best suited for a tailored teaching plan that takes into account your current abilities, time commitments, strengths/weaknesses, and desired result. My hobbies and interests include reading (literature), creative writing, calligraphy, and video games. I grew up in bilingual household, so I can...

...also enjoy and have experience teaching ESL. In both subjects I have taught writing, reading comprehension, test prep, vocabulary, grammar and conversation. I took the AP Spanish test and the SAT Subject test in Spanish and feel well-prepared to tutor for these specific exams. One of the most difficult things about learning a language is being afraid to make mistakes, and for that reason, I work hard to create a relaxed learning environment. I want...

I have been a student of the world for decades. I am passionate about other cultures, about people, about learning. ... I believe teaching is a partnership between a facilitator and a person interested in doing something new. My role is to facilitate your academic journey.... Some quick trust building would be my first step with a new student. I believe a good rapport is important for students to feel safe learning from someone.... Many times, students feel like it is impossible to know everything. But in all my teaching, I have always tried to instill the idea that learning is a skill, and anyone can learn a skill. It is not necessary to know everything, but rather to know how to learn. If you know how to learn, you can truly do anything.

...ones. Academic success is built from how we approach these puzzles, and how each unique mind breaks down a problem's pieces. For test prep, studying is as much about learning equations and facts as it is about learning the tricks to the format. Again, it is all a puzzle, and I can teach you the ways to hack the system by knowing the rules to the game. In the classroom, you can only get the...
