Paul picked up conversational and reading-level Spanish while traveling through South America, which gives his tutoring a practical edge — he knows what it's like to need the subjunctive tense in an actual conversation, not just on a worksheet. He's strongest with students working on verb conjugation, reading comprehension in Spanish, and building everyday vocabulary.

Living in both Spain and Latin America gave Lisanne the kind of fluency that textbooks can't replicate — she knows when to use the subjunctive not because she memorized a chart, but because it sounds wrong without it. Her Harvard PhD and Brown BA in International Studies mean she can connect grammar concepts like ser vs. estar or preterite vs. imperfect to the cultural contexts that make them intuitive.

Bridget earned her bachelor's degree in Spanish, then moved to Barcelona for a master's program conducted entirely in Spanish and Catalan — so her fluency is lived, not just academic. She digs into verb conjugation patterns, subjunctive triggers, and reading comprehension by connecting grammar rules to how native speakers actually use the language every day.

Jordan has taught Spanish from introductory vocabulary and verb conjugation through more advanced topics like subjunctive mood and reading comprehension. His approach leans on structured repetition and contextual practice — building sentences around real scenarios rather than isolated grammar drills. Rated 5.0 by students.

Having studied Spanish at every level from undergraduate literature seminars to doctoral-level phonology and syntax research, Amy understands the language from the inside out. She teaches grammar not as a set of rules to memorize but as a system with its own logic — making conjugation patterns, subjunctive triggers, and ser-versus-estar distinctions click in a way that sticks.

Lillian's linguistics training at Lewis and Clark College gives her a structural lens on Spanish — she can explain why certain verb forms exist, not just when to use them. That background is especially useful for unpacking patterns in tense and mood that feel arbitrary without a deeper understanding of how languages organize meaning.

Ria teaches multiple levels of Spanish, from foundational vocabulary and verb conjugations through more advanced grammar like the subjunctive mood and preterite-imperfect distinctions. Her structured, step-by-step approach — honed through years of math and science tutoring — translates surprisingly well to mastering a language's underlying rules.

Alexander grew up connected to Guatemala and speaks Spanish with the fluency that comes from real cultural roots, not just classroom drills. He tackles grammar concepts like subjunctive mood and preterite vs. imperfect by grounding them in how native speakers actually use the language, making the rules intuitive rather than arbitrary.

Living in Argentina and teaching English there meant Thomas was immersed in Spanish daily — navigating verb conjugations, pronoun usage, and conversational nuance in real-world settings, not just a classroom. He applies that practical fluency to grammar topics like ser vs. estar, preterite vs. imperfect, and subjunctive mood, explaining the logic behind rules that textbooks often present as arbitrary.

Rakhi's Spanish background includes preparation for both the SAT Subject Test in Spanish and the SAT Subject Test in Spanish with Listening, so she knows the grammar patterns and vocabulary tiers those exams target. She breaks conjugation and sentence structure into systematic rules — an approach that clicks especially well for students who think logically and want to understand why Spanish works the way it does, not just memorize phrases. Her cross-disciplinary teaching style keeps sessions engaging even when drilling verb tenses.

Sandra paired her Biomedical Engineering degree at UT Austin with a Spanish minor, which means she didn't just study vocabulary lists — she read technical and literary texts in the language for years. She tackles tricky areas like subjunctive mood, ser vs. estar distinctions, and building conversational fluency with the same structured approach she applies to her STEM subjects. Rated 4.9 by students.

Eight years of tutoring Spanish across four course levels means William has seen every stumbling block, from ser-versus-estar confusion in Spanish 1 to navigating the subjunctive mood in advanced coursework. He teaches grammar as a logical system rather than a list of exceptions, connecting verb conjugations and sentence structure to patterns students can internalize and actually use in conversation and writing.

Nolan earned a full degree in Spanish at Ursinus College, giving him the grammatical depth to explain tricky concepts like the subjunctive mood, ser versus estar distinctions, and preterite-imperfect contrasts in ways that actually click. He connects grammar rules to real usage patterns so students internalize structures instead of just memorizing conjugation charts. His 5.0 rating speaks to an ability to meet learners at every level, from Spanish 1 through advanced coursework.

Meg teaches Spanish with an emphasis on building grammar foundations — verb conjugations, sentence structure, and vocabulary in context — so students can move from translating word-by-word to thinking in the language. Her background as a writer makes her particularly attentive to how language patterns work, which she applies to explaining tricky concepts like ser vs. estar or preterite vs. imperfect.

Having studied Spanish through advanced levels, Zoe understands the grammar hurdles that trip students up most — subjunctive mood, ser versus estar, and preterite versus imperfect distinctions that textbooks often explain poorly. She teaches these concepts through pattern recognition and contextual practice so students internalize the rules instead of just memorizing conjugation charts.

Time spent in three Spanish-speaking countries — Ecuador, Panama, and Spain — taught Sophie how the language actually sounds and functions outside a textbook. She connects verb conjugations, pronoun usage, and sentence structure to real conversations she's had, which makes grammar rules easier to internalize. Students build vocabulary around topics they'll actually encounter, not just lists to memorize for a quiz.

Katrina earned her B.A. in Spanish alongside mathematics, so she brings genuine academic depth to verb conjugation patterns, subjunctive mood usage, and reading comprehension at every level. Having lived abroad and used Spanish in professional contexts, she connects grammar rules to how the language actually sounds and functions in conversation and writing.

I am graduate of Brown University, where I received a degree in Economics and studied topics ranging from Computer Science and Applied Math to Literary Arts and Philosophy. I even helped create a class during my senior year, working together with other students to write a syllabus, gather reading materials, schedule guest speakers, and ultimately, present the results to an academic dean for course credit. After graduation, I moved to Hong Kong, where I worked at a a summer program at the University of Hong Kong, in partnership with the Johns Hopkins University Center for Talented Youth, as a Teaching Assistant in a Game Theory class for advanced middle school students. After the program ended, I traveled around Asia, visiting places in Malaysia and Vietnam before eventually returning to the American South, where, as a native North Carolinian, I feel at home. I usually prefer tutoring in subjects involving math and social sciences but I am very flexible. Outside of education, I love playing guitar and piano, and I have released music both as a solo artist and as part of a band. I also like to play disc golf and lacrosse and enjoy participating in fantasy football.

I'm a UH senior right now (majoring in political science), and I'm planning to go to law school next fall. I enjoy reading, puzzles, and musicals about Treasury Secretary Alexander Hamilton.

I'm an experienced teacher and tutor with a Bachelors in English from the University of Alabama and a Masters in Literature and the Humanities from St. Edward's University, looking to help my students share in my love of learning!

I am able to help students gain confidence, learn to think IN the language, and learn the tools to develop their own language capacities.
