"Hi, I'm Sonia. I'm originally from Central America. I have a bachelor's in environmental science and have worked for many years as an activist, researcher, proofreader, and editor of scientific literature (in Spanish). I've been teaching Spanish as a tutor since college (over 20 years ago), and I have been an online tutor for the past 3 years. I love teaching and designing lessons tailored to my students. I customize my lessons to suit your learning style, interests, and goals. Whether you want to get an A+ in Spanish class or want to use Spanish at your workplace, I've got you covered. Do you have an upcoming trip? I offer intensive courses so you can easily communicate abroad.

All ages and levels are welcome. I have experience teaching elementary kids (5 years old and up) and teenagers, with great success in getting better grades and test scores. I also teach adults, from beginners to intermediate and advanced, conversation practice to gain confidence and fluency. My lessons cover grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation, idiomatic expressions (from various countries in Latin America), and conversation practice. Besides Spanish, I have a passion for all things health and wellness. I also like to learn about new topics that interest my students and incorporate them into lessons. I'm curious and receptive, which makes me an excellent conversation partner for practice.

I strive to offer a personalized, engaging, and fun experience to my students. I'm always open to suggestions from students or parents on how to help them and better serve them in their learning journey." less...
