Teaching both Spanish and conversational Spanish means Jennifer covers the full arc — from grammar drills on preterite versus imperfect to the messy, real-time work of actually holding a conversation. Her public policy background also trained her to read and synthesize dense material across disciplines, a skill she applies to helping students decode unfamiliar texts and build reading comprehension in a second language. Rated 4.9 by students.

John teaches Spanish at multiple levels, from foundational grammar and verb conjugation through more complex structures like the subjunctive mood. His experience as a literary editor sharpens his attention to how language actually works at the sentence level — a skill that translates directly into breaking down Spanish syntax for students who find grammar rules abstract or confusing.

Across four levels of Spanish instruction — from beginner conjugations to advanced subjunctive usage — Anna adapts her teaching to wherever a student's gaps actually are. Her background in Near Eastern Studies trained her in second-language acquisition more broadly, and she applies that same systematic approach to Spanish verb tenses, pronoun placement, and reading comprehension.

Learning Spanish can feel overwhelming when verb conjugations, gendered nouns, and unfamiliar sentence structures hit all at once. Linda isolates one concept at a time — say, the difference between ser and estar, or when to use the subjunctive — and connects each rule to real conversational contexts so it actually sticks. She's taught everyone from complete beginners to advanced speakers polishing their grammar.

Learning Spanish verb conjugations — especially the subjunctive — clicks faster when you can tie each tense to real conversational situations instead of rote charts. Janani teaches across multiple Spanish levels and builds lessons around practical usage, connecting grammar rules to reading and writing so vocabulary and structure reinforce each other naturally.

Learning Spanish sticks when grammar concepts connect to real usage rather than isolated drills. Milan breaks down verb conjugations, pronoun placement, and subjunctive triggers by linking each rule to the kinds of sentences students actually want to say and write. His experience across every level from Spanish 1 through AP gives him a clear map of where students typically get stuck.

Steven majored in Spanish at the university level, so he understands the grammar from the inside — not just the rules but the logic behind why subjunctive triggers work the way they do, or when ser versus estar actually matters beyond a memorized list. He pinpoints the specific interference patterns that trip up English speakers, like pronoun placement and gendered agreement, and tackles those head-on.

Megan's approach to Spanish zeroes in on building practical fluency — verb conjugation patterns, sentence structure, and everyday vocabulary that students can actually use in conversation. Her analytical background in neuroscience gives her a useful lens on how the brain acquires a second language, so she tailors practice around spaced repetition and contextual learning.

Amy earned her bachelor's degree with a double focus in English and Spanish, giving her deep familiarity with verb conjugation systems, subjunctive mood triggers, and the grammatical structures that trip up English speakers most. She approaches Spanish as a living language — connecting vocabulary and grammar to real reading, writing, and conversation rather than isolated drills.

Growing up as a native Spanish speaker and then mastering English as a second language gave Abraham deep insight into how the two languages map onto each other — and where they don't. He teaches verb conjugations, subjunctive mood, and sentence structure by drawing on those real bilingual instincts rather than rote memorization charts. Students across all levels, from Spanish 1 through AP, benefit from that native fluency.

Lizzy covers Spanish from foundational verb conjugations through more complex grammar like subjunctive mood and object pronoun placement. She approaches each concept with clear structural explanations before drilling practice, so students understand the logic behind the language rather than relying on rote memorization alone.

Growing up between Los Angeles and Paris, Sarah developed an ear for multiple Romance languages early on. She teaches Spanish grammar by drawing connections to Latin roots and French cognates, making verb conjugations and sentence structure feel less like rote memorization and more like solving a puzzle.

I'm also a translator, linguistics nerd, avid reader, and fabulous teacher. I went to NYU and studied Linguistics, and am continuing my studies for an Applied Linguistics Masters here in California.

Seven years of formal Spanish study plus a year living in Spain gave Matthew the kind of fluency that covers both grammar rules and the intuitive feel for how the language actually works.

Students get someone who learned Spanish as a second language and remembers exactly where the sticking points are.

Matt minored in Spanish during his undergraduate studies and has carried the language through multiple levels of coursework, from foundational grammar to advanced composition. He tackles tricky areas like subjunctive mood, ser versus estar distinctions, and preterite-imperfect contrasts by linking each rule to real usage patterns rather than rote conjugation charts. Rated 5.0 by students.

Four months living in Spain plus an ongoing stay in Costa Rica mean Nicolette's Spanish grammar is something she's tested daily in real conversations, not just classroom exercises. She unpacks verb conjugations, subjunctive triggers, and pronoun placement with a level of fluency that comes from actually needing the language to navigate daily life.

Kate teaches Spanish at multiple levels, from verb conjugation fundamentals in Spanish 2 through the subjunctive mood and complex sentence structures in Spanish 4. Her engineering background gives her a systematic way of breaking down grammar rules that clicks for students who think analytically.

Studying Latin American history at Duke meant Jean spent years reading Spanish-language primary sources — colonial documents, political speeches, literary texts — and building fluency that goes well beyond classroom drills. She teaches grammar and vocabulary in context, connecting verb tenses and sentence structures to how Spanish is actually used in writing and conversation.

Pre-law coursework at Vanderbilt means Kit spends most of his time building arguments, analyzing texts, and writing persuasively — skills that transfer surprisingly well to learning a second language, where reading comprehension and grammatical precision matter just as much. He tackles Spanish grammar and vocabulary with the same structured, detail-oriented approach he applies to political science, breaking down sentence construction and verb forms into clear, logical steps.

Learning Spanish means internalizing patterns — verb conjugation systems, pronoun placement, the subjunctive triggers that trip up English speakers. David has taught every level from Spanish 1 through AP and knows exactly where students tend to stall out, whether it's ser vs. estar or navigating preterite and imperfect in the same paragraph.

Though French is Daniel's primary language specialty, his experience with Romance language grammar gives him a practical framework for teaching Spanish fundamentals like ser vs. estar, preterite vs. imperfect, and pronoun placement. He approaches Spanish 1-level concepts by drawing parallels between the two languages, which accelerates pattern recognition for students.

Natalie minors in Spanish at Penn and has studied through advanced-level coursework, giving her a strong command of grammar, verb tenses, and conversational fluency. She tackles tricky concepts like the subjunctive mood and ser-versus-estar distinctions by connecting them to patterns students already recognize in English. Her approach keeps vocabulary and grammar practice grounded in real usage rather than rote conjugation charts.

Lisa teaches Spanish with an emphasis on building grammar systematically — verb conjugations across tenses, pronoun placement, ser versus estar — so that students can construct sentences on their own rather than translating word-by-word from English. She covers Spanish 1 through Spanish 2 material and tailors sessions to whether a student needs help with classroom assignments, conversational fluency, or exam prep. Her background in anthropology also brings cultural context into language learning, which makes vocabulary and idiomatic expressions easier to retain.
