Spanish Tutor

 

Twenty five years ago, I lived in Central America. Since then, I've worked with refugees and immigrants, first as a social worker and later as a language instructor. I’ve visited Central America many times and I've been speaking Spanish regularly for about 30 years.

As a trained and experienced language instructor, I can pick out the component parts of a phrase and teach it in bite-sized pieces. I can explain exactly how to make that difficult sound. As a musician, I can sing the songs, accompanied by a guitar, so that we can practice songs more slowly than on the CD. Come and have fun!


If you are studying Spanish for a job or a trip, or just for your own knowledge, I can help you with your specific issues and needs. Conversation, pronunciation, grammar, and reading will be covered as needed.

Adults or motivated students only. Older adults welcome.
