    About Garrett L.

    (6)
    I am an experienced tutor with 2+ of experience teaching Spanish, Italian, English, Writing, and Philosophy. Having been introduced to the language at 3 years old and studying it at a high level for 20 years, Spanish is by far what I teach best. I currently am one semester away from graduating with a Bachelor's degree in Spanish. In addition to my studies, I use Spanish every day given that most of my friends are native speakers of the language. I also minor in Italian and am in the process of becoming fluent in it. As an avid student of languages, I understand the frustrations and challenges that come with learning a new tongue. My goal is to simplify the process for you as best as I can to keep you from getting overwhelmed, which happens all too often when learning a language. Rather than teaching you the subjunctive, for instance, I aim to break this broad, complex concept down into smaller, easier steps that put you on an effective track to understanding it as a whole. Moreover, given my extensive experience of conducting one-on-one lessons, I know how to plan lessons to suit your needs and goals. Though I am not a native speaker, I have a deeper understanding of the Spanish language than most native speakers, just as fluent, non-native speakers of English are normally more familiar with the mechanics of the language than most who call it their mother tongue. I specialize in Spanish grammar, but I have experience and am equally qualified to help you with skills in conversation, pronunciation, writing, reading, and listening. I would love to help you learn the language that has been dear to me nearly my entire life, so don't be shy to reach out to me or to go ahead and schedule a session with me!

    Garrett is the best teacher I've ever had, he is so patient and is wonderful at explaining concepts. He is also respectful and responsible. You won't regret having a tutoring session with him. He is the best!

    After lessons with Garrett i feel so much more confident in my speaking skills. I was always afraid of speaking in another language, after these lessons i wont be afraid anymore. He is always prepaired for our lessons and i really enjoy them.
