Reviews: “I contacted Stephanie to teach my son Spanish outside of school to help him skip into higher levels for high school. Her extensive professional international background is spectacular and she does an amazing job at keeping my son interested in learning and applying grammar to have basic conversations in Spanish. In a short amount of time, she has helped him acquire the tools he needs to intuitively understand basic conversations and use the vocabulary he has to communicate effectively. She has gone beyond my expectations for a tutor and highly recommend her for anyone looking for insightful instruction and support in Spanish.”
— Denise, 1.5 years with Stephanie
