I am passionate about helping students because I've been a student my whole life! Even though I'm a professor now, I love to learn. And now that I have experience, I love to help others along the learning journey. I have degrees in English and education from Rice University, UT Austin, Texas State, and Texas A&M. I also studied abroad in England at the University of East Anglia and have traveled to many countries. I tutor English and Spanish (my family is from Mexico City). My favorite thing to tutor is writing, and I have taught writing from the Kindergarten-graduate school (Ph.D.) level (what I currently do). I am here to share tools and tips to help you succeed in your learning journey.

Chemistry trained Shawn to memorize complex nomenclature systems and spot structural patterns — skills that transfer surprisingly well to learning Spanish vocabulary roots and conjugation frameworks. He approaches the language analytically, breaking down verb endings and grammatical rules into repeatable patterns the same way he'd teach students to balance equations. Rated 4.9 by students.

Gabriela is a native Spanish speaker who has taught math entirely in Spanish across multiple grade levels, giving her a practical command of academic vocabulary, verb conjugation in context, and sentence structure. Her Master's in Math Education means she understands how to break down complex grammar rules the same way she'd scaffold a tough equation — step by step, building on what a student already knows.

Martina learned Spanish as a second language herself before teaching it professionally in British schools, so she understands exactly where English speakers stumble — subjunctive triggers, ser versus estar, preterite versus imperfect. She builds lessons around active use of the language, pushing students to produce sentences and think in Spanish from the very first session. Rated 4.8 by students.

Sam treats Spanish grammar the way he approaches any structured system: by identifying the underlying patterns — verb conjugation families, pronoun placement rules, subjunctive triggers — so students can generate correct sentences instead of relying on memorized phrases. His analytical mindset, sharpened through pre-law study, translates surprisingly well to untangling tricky constructions like the difference between por and para.

Elizabeth teaches Spanish across multiple levels, from foundational verb conjugations in the present tense through subjunctive mood and complex sentence structures. Her engineering background gives her a systematic way of breaking down grammar rules into logical patterns that stick, making the jump from translating word-by-word to thinking in Spanish feel manageable.

Teaching Spanish across four proficiency levels — from introductory grammar through advanced conversation — gives Orestes a clear picture of where each student's comprehension actually sits. He digs into verb conjugation patterns, pronoun placement, and sentence construction with enough repetition and context that students internalize the rules instead of just translating word by word from English.

Two awards from the National Spanish Exam and a passing score on the AP Spanish Language and Culture exam back up Samuel's command of the language. He tackles everything from verb conjugation patterns to reading comprehension, connecting grammar rules to how Spanish is actually spoken so the structures make intuitive sense. Rated 5.0 by students.

Andrea's Spanish instruction covers everything from conjugation patterns in the preterite and imperfect tenses to building the vocabulary needed for reading comprehension and composition. Having studied Spanish through advanced levels herself, she explains grammar rules by showing how they function in real sentences rather than drilling isolated verb charts. Students rated her 4.9 out of 5.0.

Learning Spanish means internalizing verb conjugations, gendered nouns, and sentence structures that don't map neatly onto English — and that's just the grammar side. Alma teaches across all four levels of Spanish coursework, so she understands the progression from present-tense basics to subjunctive mood and beyond. She adapts each session to whether a student needs drilling on preterite vs. imperfect or practice constructing longer spoken responses.

I'm 18 years old and I am a sophomore at Fordham University. I promise I won't disappoint!

Jake has tutored Spanish across multiple levels and speaks the language well enough to teach everything from verb conjugation patterns in the preterite and imperfect to reading comprehension strategies for literary passages. His approach emphasizes understanding the logic behind grammar rules so students can apply them flexibly, not just memorize charts.

Moriah teaches Spanish at the intermediate and advanced levels, tackling tricky areas like subjunctive mood, preterite-vs-imperfect distinctions, and complex sentence construction. Her analytical approach — developed through a Cornell education and years of teaching — translates well to breaking down grammar rules that often feel arbitrary to English speakers. She connects new structures to patterns students already recognize, making conjugation tables and vocabulary retention far less painful.

Richard has studied Spanish through the SAT Subject Tests — including the Listening exam — and tutored high school students in the language before college. He tackles grammar structures like the subjunctive and preterite-vs-imperfect distinctions by connecting them to patterns rather than rote conjugation charts, making the rules easier to internalize.

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.

Samantha teaches Spanish across multiple levels, from foundational verb conjugations and noun-adjective agreement through advanced grammar like the subjunctive mood and complex sentence structures. Her analytical approach — honed through a Duke science education — treats language acquisition as a system to decode rather than a list to memorize.

James teaches Spanish at multiple levels, from foundational vocabulary and verb conjugations through more advanced work with subjunctive mood and reading comprehension. His background in multiple languages — including Latin and French — gives him a knack for explaining how Spanish grammar patterns connect to broader Romance language structures, which makes tricky concepts like ser vs. estar or preterite vs. imperfect click faster.

Medical school at Baylor means Sugi regularly encounters Spanish-speaking patients and medical terminology rooted in Latin — a context that sharpens her ear for vocabulary patterns and grammatical structures in ways a standard classroom can't replicate. Her cognitive science background from Rice also gives her a research-backed understanding of how the brain acquires new languages, so she tailors practice around the memorization and retrieval techniques that actually stick. Rated 5.0 by students.

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.

Learning Spanish grammar isn't just about conjugation tables — it's understanding why the subjunctive appears after certain triggers, or how ser and estar change a sentence's entire meaning. Renee earned both a BA and a PhD centered on Spanish, giving her the kind of deep structural knowledge that lets her explain the 'why' behind tricky rules. She's taught Spanish at multiple levels, from private tutoring to formal academic settings.

Diana's TESOL training gave her deep expertise in how languages are structured and acquired, which she applies directly to Spanish instruction. She breaks down verb conjugation patterns, pronoun placement, and sentence-building in ways that make the grammar feel logical rather than arbitrary. Students in Spanish 1 or 2 especially benefit from her ability to explain why the language works the way it does.

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.

Having studied Spanish formally at Columbia University and earned a degree in the subject, Molly approaches the language through both grammar mechanics and real-world usage. Whether a student is working through verb conjugation patterns, navigating subjunctive mood, or building reading comprehension skills, she connects each concept to practical communication so the rules actually stick.
