Class Experience

US Grade 9 - 12
Spanish 1, 2, 3, 4, AP Spanish, and college-level classes. 

We'll work one-on-one on whatever is keeping your learner from being successful in French class or whatever will propel your learner's achievement in French. 

**Note: I do not do "Let's Chat" for an hour sessions. I'm not great at chatting in English, French, or Spanish. I will chat in Spanish during a session, of course, but if this is what you're looking for in a session, I'm sure you'll find a tutor who is more comfortable with this format. 

Before we start, I'll want to know ahead of time what the goal is: 

Is it to do make-up work and get caught up?
Is it to work on the current topic in class? 
Is it to get ahead in class or go beyond what the class is working on? 

If a student needs to relearn topics covered earlier, I do recommend a second weekly session in order to work on current topics as well. (My experience tells me that if you wait until April, two sessions a week won't be enough.)

I am a grammarian. I will find a way to help any learner who puts in effort to learn rules and exceptions. (Without effort on the student's part, it won't work.)

I am The Vocabulady. I will teach your learner effective ways to study vocabulary by modeling and working in the session on learning vocab. Students and parents always tell me, "My learner can take care of vocab on their own." My experience tells me that this probably won't happen. Most students need tutoring because they don't know the words. Not knowing the words keeps them from applying the grammar rules and being able to speak, listen, read, and write in Spanish. When I work on vocab with students in sessions, they do much better on all tasks. 

I am a reading and writing teacher. I can help your learner read the passages for homework and write the text for their project. (I will NOT tell them what to write. I will refer them to their notes, online dictionaries, and other resources. I don't allow students to use Google Translate or any AI on assignments.)

Above all, I am patient, kind, empathetic, creative, and flexible. I know that foreign languages aren't easy for many people, and I do not judge people for that. And my jokes are hilarious in any language.
