Award-Winning Spanish Tutors in Fountain Valley, CA

...and I am thrilled to use that knowledge to continue tutoring students in a range of subjects in the humanities and social sciences. I have tutored for four years, working with middle and high school students in D.C. and Madrid on speech and debate, Spanish, and English as a second language. I focus on building confidence just as much as grasping content, a balance that's especially important for improving on standardized tests.

...and Spanish. I love working with students who are struggling in a particular subject and breaking down the material into manageable, understandable parts so students come away from the experience feeling competent. My favorite subjects to teach are writing and math, but I've also tutored in Spanish, literature, history and ESL. I think the most important part of being a good tutor is building up a student's confidence and giving them the tools to succeed...

...others learn in a way that is best for them and help them to love learning just like I have! The subjects I tutor are Spanish, French and Math. I've studied Spanish for eight years, from 8th grade through my senior year of college. I have a background in Spanish literature and strong reading and writing skills. I've studied French for three semesters of college, used Roseta Stone, was tutored myself and have had conversational...

...children and adults for the last three years. While I tutor a variety of subjects, I particularly enjoy teaching History, Writing, and Literature. History is especially fun to teach as there is often a perception that it's a boring or tedious subject. I really try to break out of that stereotype and make the subject more relevant and interesting for my students. Ultimately, I really like to take the time to get to know my...

...that education can (and should) be fun, and that teaching and tutoring are much more effective when the student is happy and engaged. My approach to tutoring is to listen carefully to each student so I can get a sense of what it is about the particular subject that they find challenging. I enjoy teaching, and I have tutored Spanish to native English speakers as well as taught English as a Second Language (ESL) for...

...teaching because it brought together two of my passions, learning and performance. Even with a subject not as closely associated with performance, students will not be encouraged to learn unless the teacher or tutor makes every effort to engage them in the lesson. Years later, when I became an apprentice Spanish teacher for the Kenyon College Department of Modern Languages and Literature, I performed Spanish songs for my students in order to put that theory...

...ranging from pre-K children in after-school programs to adults seeking to maintain their skills in the Spanish language. I grew up in Lima, Peru and am thus a native speaker of Spanish. I also have a background in linguistics and hold a B.A. degree in Linguistics and Spanish as well a M.A. degree in Spanish, all from UCLA. Therefore, I pay equal attention to both the form and structure of formal Spanish and the more...

...Team, where I teach students about the skills and strategies of the sport every year. My favorite subjects to tutor are standardized test preparation and writing. I believe that great test takers are made, not born. Anyone can improve your SAT or LSAT score with the right practice and guidance. I like to use a teaching method similar to how I would teach a sport by simplifying the concepts and strategies necessary into manageable terms,...

...years of teaching experience in a classroom setting. I throughly enjoy tutoring in a one on one setting especially when it comes to Spanish. I believe this setting puts students in a more comfortable environment to verbally practice the use of the language. I do not have a specific style of tutoring meaning I like to adjust my tutoring according to each student's learning style. In all my tutoring sessions I like to incorporate fun,...

...me a particularly good tutor is my down to earth nature. Most students (and adults) seem to have been tricked into believing that learning another language is only for the most intelligent of individuals, but in reality, I don't believe that there is a single person who 'can't learn languages.' Instead, I show students that these languages can be fun to learn, because they are not limited to the classroom. Drawing upon my experiences living...
