"I am an experienced Spanish educator and tutor with over ten years of teaching and tutoring experience in New York City. I hold a Master’s degree in Dual-Language Early Childhood Education from Bank Street College of Education and New York State certification with a Spanish bilingual extension. For eight years, I taught at a highly regarded dual-language immersion private school in Manhattan, working closely with students and families in both classroom and one-on-one settings. Today, I tutor students from top-tier New York City schools, supporting them academically while helping them build confidence and fluency in Spanish.

My tutoring approach is structured, engaging, and highly personalized. I focus on helping students understand the big picture of Spanish grammar and language structure, then reinforce learning through frequent, meaningful practice. Lessons typically begin with clear explanations and quickly move into hands-on activities, guided conversation, games, and real-world application. I work primarily with middle and high school students and adapt each session to their learning style, motivation, and academic goals, whether they need support with coursework, exams, or overall fluency.

What sets me apart is my background as both an adolescent tutor and an early childhood educator with strong training in social-emotional learning. I take the time to truly know each student, understand what motivates them, and create a supportive environment where they feel comfortable taking risks and making progress. Parents value my ability to balance high expectations with warmth, clarity, and encouragement. My goal is not only to improve Spanish skills, but to give students lasting tools and confidence that extend beyond the tutoring session." less...
