serving Detroit, MI

His 5.0 rating speaks to how well that real-world fluency translates to the classroom.

Ruth didn't just study Spanish in a classroom — she lived it as an English Teaching Assistant at the Universidad Pontificia Bolivariana in Medellín, Colombia. That immersion experience means she teaches grammar concepts like subjunctive mood and preterite vs. imperfect with real-world context baked in, connecting textbook rules to how Spanish is actually spoken.

Pratik's strength is in science and test prep, not Spanish — but the analytical rigor of his Cornell pre-med coursework means he's wired to decode grammatical systems the same way he'd break down a reaction mechanism, finding the logic underneath conjugation patterns and sentence structure. His writing background also sharpens his ability to teach composition skills that transfer directly to Spanish essay work and written expression.

Eva's English degree from Harvard sharpened her eye for how language works at the structural level — grammar, syntax, the logic behind why sentences hold together — and she applies that same analytical instinct to Spanish verb forms, agreement rules, and sentence construction. Her journalism background also means she values clear, functional communication over perfection, which takes the pressure off students who freeze up trying to produce flawless sentences. Rated 5.0 by students.

Trishani is completing a Spanish minor at the University of Michigan, which means she's actively working through the same grammar structures — preterite vs. imperfect, subjunctive mood, ser vs. estar — that trip up most students. She connects vocabulary and conjugation patterns to real usage so the language starts to feel intuitive rather than like a list of rules to memorize.

Rebekah teaches Spanish across multiple levels — from introductory vocabulary building through AP Spanish Language & Culture — and her science background at Brown actually sharpens how she explains grammar, treating conjugation patterns and tense rules as logical systems to decode rather than lists to memorize. She also took the SAT Subject Test in Spanish, so she knows how to prep students for the specific reading and listening comprehension demands of standardized Spanish exams. Rated 5.0 by students.

Having studied Spanish through the intermediate level alongside a demanding engineering courseload, Haley knows what it takes to internalize verb conjugations, nail preterite vs. imperfect distinctions, and actually retain vocabulary long-term. She brings a structured, pattern-oriented mindset to language learning that clicks especially well for students who think analytically.

Anna's background in speech-language pathology gives her a unique lens on Spanish — she breaks down pronunciation patterns, verb conjugations, and sentence structure by connecting them to how the brain actually processes a second language. For students tackling Spanish 1 vocabulary or building toward conversational fluency, that linguistic training makes tricky concepts like ser vs. estar click faster.

Jane minored in Spanish at Brigham Young University, building fluency across grammar, composition, and reading comprehension. She approaches verb conjugations and sentence structure with the same analytical eye she brings to English — breaking down why subjunctive mood triggers work the way they do, not just asking students to memorize charts.

Neuroscience trains you to learn how people learn — and Anya applies that instinct to Spanish by figuring out which memorization strategies actually stick for vocabulary and which grammar concepts need to be understood structurally before they'll hold. She scored a 36 on the ACT, so she knows how to break complex material into repeatable systems, a skill she carries into teaching everything from ser versus estar to subjunctive triggers.

Maria is fluent in Spanish, which means she teaches beyond conjugation charts and vocabulary lists — she digs into how subjunctive mood actually works in everyday conversation and why ser and estar aren't interchangeable. Her approach leans on repetition with real-world context, building the kind of instinct for the language that lets students think in Spanish rather than translate from English.

Having studied through Spanish 3 and beyond, Kavya tackles the grammar structures that trip students up most — preterite vs. imperfect, subjunctive mood triggers, and direct/indirect object pronoun stacking. She ties each rule back to real usage so the logic behind conjugation patterns actually clicks.

Kyleigh is pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Spanish at the University of Michigan, which means she's immersed in the language daily — from advanced literature and composition to conversational fluency.

I am a full-time Master's student, and I enjoy Harry Potter, Doctor Who, and the Chilling Adventures of Sabrina.

Mica teaches Spanish across four levels, from foundational conjugation and noun-adjective agreement through advanced grammar like the subjunctive mood and complex sentence structures. Her analytical background at Stanford carries over into how she breaks down tricky verb tenses — she treats grammar rules as logical systems rather than lists to memorize.

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.

Teaching elementary school in diverse classrooms gave Victoria daily practice communicating in Spanish with students and families, and she carries that real-world fluency into her tutoring. She covers verb conjugations, reading comprehension, and written composition across Spanish 1 through 4, adjusting complexity to wherever a student currently sits in the sequence.

Learning Spanish as a cognitive science student gave Adam an unusual advantage: he understands how the brain acquires a second language and uses that knowledge to make vocabulary and grammar stick faster. His Spanish minor at Rice covered everything from verb conjugation patterns to conversational fluency. Whether a student is wrestling with the subjunctive mood or building everyday speaking confidence, Adam tailors the approach to how they learn best.

Public policy work in Washington, DC means Noel reads, writes, and communicates across cultural contexts daily — a professional habit that translates naturally into language instruction.

Rated 4.9 by students.

From Spanish 1 verb conjugations through Spanish 4 literary analysis, Pinelopi has tutored every level of the language and knows exactly where students tend to stall — usually around the subjunctive mood and indirect object pronouns. She breaks these tricky structures down into patterns that stick, building real fluency rather than rote translation skills.

Emily pairs structured grammar instruction — verb conjugations, pronoun usage, subjunctive triggers — with reading and listening practice that reinforces vocabulary in context. Her analytical mindset from the sciences translates well to language learning, where pattern recognition in tense structures and sentence construction can accelerate progress quickly.

Lucas teaches Spanish with an emphasis on building conversational confidence alongside grammatical structure — verb conjugations, pronoun placement, and sentence formation in real-world contexts. His experience with ESL learners gives him a sharp sense of how language acquisition actually works, which he applies in reverse when English speakers are tackling Spanish.

Samuel holds a TEFL certificate and studies linguistics at Harvard, which means he understands how languages are structured at a foundational level — verb conjugation patterns, pronoun systems, sentence-building rules. He applies that systematic approach to Spanish grammar and vocabulary, making concepts like ser vs. estar or preterite vs. imperfect click rather than feel like arbitrary memorization.

Years of living and working in Mexico and the Dominican Republic gave Julie the kind of Spanish fluency that textbooks alone can't provide — she knows the grammar rules and when native speakers bend them. She tackles everything from verb conjugation patterns to reading comprehension, weaving in regional vocabulary and real-world usage that make the language feel less like a school subject and more like a tool.

Earning a Spanish degree from Northwestern means Jack didn't just study grammar tables — he read García Márquez, analyzed film, and engaged with the language across literary and cultural contexts.
