Spanish Classes with Local Tutors in Manassas, VA

Experienced Spanish teacher of 30 years available for eager students of all experience levels and ages! I structure my lessons so students learn what they want to learn, while also building a strong foundation of beginner to advanced Spanish language skills. I specialize in teaching middle and high school students, accommodating to whatever materials they use in their classes and tailor their lessons to whatever they are learning in school.

We will work on fundamentals, conjugation, writing, and conversation.

I have 6 years of experience teaching Spanish and English at both the high school and college levels. I have taught everything from Spanish 1 through advanced literature courses. In 2013 I completed my doctorate in Spanish Literature at Harvard University. I enjoy working with students one on one and helping them feel empowered to overcome the subjects that challenge them. I also have experience working with students with learning differences. I work with students of all ages.

I have been teaching Spanish lessons to all kind of students since I came to the United States seven years ago. I was born in Estella (Spain), an hour away from San Millán de la Cogolla, where the first written words in Spanish have been found, so my Spanish is as authentic as it gets. I can teach emphasizing grammar, pronunciation or conversation, and always adapting my teaching style to students' necessities as I was taught during my psycho-pedagogy classes at Universidad de Navarra.

My lessons are fun and straight to the point. You will never run out of materials to learn, which will always be tailored to your needs. Time is of the essence and I carefully select the topics based on your weaknesses so that your improvement is fast and steady. If you have specific requests, like preparing for a test, homework or learning a tune, I develop a plan with you so that you can achieve your goals. Learning is a process that many compare to a trip, so let's meet and embark in this travel ...

I have taught, tutored and teach Spanish to USA Veterans and students struggling around campus for years. I have years of academic and practical usage/experience with the language. I grew up hearing it and studied it in high school and at the college level. I know what it is like to be a student in a Spanish class as well as using it in real life application. I also have 2 minors in Spanish Language and Latino/a and Latin American Studies (Formerly known as CBS: Chicano-Boricua Studies) which give me the perfect mix of language and culture.

I am very patient and work on your level. I have years of academic and practical usage/experience with the language. I use that experience to put myself in your shoes and give tips and cultural things that may help you better understand your new language. Also, my knowledge of Psychology helps us hack learning in a time-efficient way. No question is ever a dumb question and we will spend as much time on a topic as needed.

I'm a great translator.
