serving Reno, NV

Tony earned his bachelor's degree in Spanish and continued using the language throughout his Latin American Studies master's program, so his command of the language spans academic writing, literary analysis, and everyday conversation.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Her Vanderbilt coursework and conversational practice give her a feel for how the language actually sounds, not just how it looks on a conjugation chart.

Teaching Spanish through all four levels — from introductory grammar through advanced conversation — gives Charles a clear picture of where students typically get stuck, whether it's ser versus estar, subjunctive mood triggers, or building spoken fluency. He keeps lessons practical, connecting conjugation drills and vocabulary to real conversational scenarios so the language feels usable, not abstract.

She covers beginner through intermediate levels and connects vocabulary to real-world contexts that make retention easier.

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.

Cassandra teaches Spanish at the introductory and intermediate levels, covering verb conjugation, pronoun usage, and sentence construction. Her background in comparative literature and Latin gives her a structural understanding of how Romance languages work, which makes explaining concepts like the subjunctive or ser-versus-estar distinctions more intuitive for students.

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.

Her analytical mindset from the sciences translates well to language learning, where pattern recognition in tense structures and sentence construction can accelerate progress quickly.

Isaiah teaches Spanish with an emphasis on building real comprehension, not just conjugation drills.

He covers Spanish 1 through 3 and scored high enough on the SAT Subject Test in Spanish with Listening to tutor it.

Four years living in Viña del Mar, Chile, gave Anna the kind of Spanish fluency you can't get from a textbook — she taught at a Chilean university, navigated daily life in Spanish, and absorbed the idiomatic rhythms of real conversation.

Vivian's background is in music performance and standardized test prep, not Spanish — but her Juilliard training means she's wired to hear and reproduce precise patterns, a skill that transfers directly to mastering pronunciation, accent marks, and the rhythmic flow of spoken Spanish.
