"My name is Freddie, and I’m a bilingual Spanish and English tutor with a strong foundation in both language instruction and cultural immersion. I was born and raised in Puerto Rico, where Spanish is my native language, and I later moved to the United States, where I developed full professional fluency in English. My multicultural background allows me to guide students not only in grammar and vocabulary but also in real-world usage and cultural nuances—especially with a focus on Puerto Rican Spanish when desired. I am currently pursuing a degree in education with a concentration in language instruction, and I continuously participate in professional development to enhance my teaching skills.

I have several years of experience teaching students ranging from young children to adult learners. My teaching journey began with volunteer-based language coaching and evolved into private one-on-one tutoring and virtual classroom instruction. I specialize in personalized learning, adapting lessons to fit each student's goals—whether they aim to travel, reconnect with heritage, pass an exam, or improve conversational fluency. My approach combines interactive exercises, real-life scenarios, and consistent encouragement, making language learning both practical and enjoyable. I currently work through another tutoring site, where I have received excellent feedback and maintained strong student retention through engaging, structured sessions.

Throughout my career, I have helped students of all levels—from complete beginners to advanced speakers—gain confidence and fluency. I’m especially passionate about helping learners overcome the fear of speaking and embracing mistakes as part of the learning process. My sessions are structured, goal-oriented, and always tailored to the learner’s pace. Teaching languages is more than a job for me—it’s a way to connect, inspire, and empower others through communication." less...
