About Me

A great outlook goes a long way!*GOALS:-As a bilingual tutor, creating a sense of excitement about the Spanish language is essential to a great start. Learning a foreign language is a great asset to have and It builds a great foundation for a brighter future. I take the opportunity to make learning for others, as enjoyable & fulfilling as learning English (ESL) was for me. As with most students, each has different needs/learning styles/levels.-When Tutoring, I use the student's strengths to help work on the weaknesses (by using methods of association), while providing a tailored atmosphere in which students feel at ease & evolve.-My goal is to combine my range of experiences with a compassionate, enthusiastic & supportive approach. This results in positive contributions to your student(s) goals.*EDU:-Previously, I tutored college level Spanish at JSRCC which provided me with an invaluable experience & obtained new insight into different mentoring styles & strategies. I was recommended by Professor Carson for tutoring his Spanish 101-102 (beginning and intermediate Spanish class) students.-Creating a constructive atmosphere and praising students for their accomplishments along they way encourages positive learning behaviors. This approach has proven to help my students thus far. I found this experience to be very rewarding.*ABOUT:-My academic experience provides a solid foundation to build (and transfer) knowledge into providing the best learning environment for the student. Allie Mooney's quote: "If you can reach me, then you can teach me" remains extremely relatable to me.-I am diligent, determined, committed, and very patient. My hobbies include a wide variety of interests, such as: Nature walks, music & arts, meditative literature, local travel and contributing to charities.

Q&A with Hector

My teaching philosophy is that all students want to learn, and that it is my job as a tutor to connect what they want to learn with what is already important to them in their lives. Once the student feels a connection between the lesson and their own interests, they will take their learning seriously. In shorter form, find ways to tap into students' natural motivation to learn and then act as their coach while they lead the way. All of this is premised on the belief that we learn what we are motivated to learn.
