"Lan Xi is very paticent. She did a great job helping me in the pronucation and whee the tones go."

Review by Alessia
"After five minutes of technical difficulty on my side, I finally got connected five minutes later. Xi is so kind and patient, especially since I'd never t
aken a lick of Chinese before! I learned a good amount in the first lesson and I know exactly what I need to practice. I'd recommend writing down what she writes down on the board so you have it for reference. An overall great experience!"

The best non native Spanish tutor/teacher -
I am a Spanish Language Consultant
I am a concierge tutor meaning that I make every meeting personalized for you. Everyone learns a language differently. For some they just want to speak. For others they want to learn to read or write. And some want to do it all. Either way I will do everything in my power to assure that happens.
Where did I learn Spanish?
I took it in high school like all of us and failed out in the second year. Then seven years later I took a class in Bellevue College and got the best grade in the class. Soon after the class finished I moved to Bogotá, Colombia for a year and half where I really improved my level to near native status. When I was a kid in high school I did not see how cool it is to be able to speak another language nor did I care. However, now it w

as a defining point in my life and something that no one can take away from me.
Because I am more expensive I have fewer clients which gives me more time to focus on you the student. My schedule is also very flexible giving you plenty of freedom over when to meet.
I am connected to a network of native speakers who are all my very close friends who can be included in the sessions when the time is right or whenever you may like.
I have been a Spanish Consultant since 2011 and love doing it. I really get fired up when students begin to take off on their own with the language with less and less of my help.
I don't think you will find a more passionate tutor in the area. The passion comes through in the lessons.
Students who will succeed with me can be of any age but should have these traits if they wish to excel:
Discipline
Not afraid to make mistakes
Positive attitudes
Open mind
Willingness to think outside of the box

About Joshua
I am a tutor who earned a music teaching degree and didn't want to be a school teacher. I worked professional jobs in retail and tech sales and have come back to teaching.
Whatever subject or instrument I teach, I always make sure to work with the student first. I enjoy helping learners have new aha moments.
The majority of my students take guitar, bass guitar, or Spanish lessons, though I am an educator and help my students learn other skills and knowledge sets too.
I went to Ohio State University for college, earned a BA in Music Education, and graduated Kum Laude. I also spent 4 years in the Ohio State University Marching Band, partially to rehab a brain injury.

I think any kids lucky enough to learn music from Joshua will have fun and hopefully fall in love with learning it, just like my kids have.

Being an adult beginner with music lessons, Joshua eases my frustration on immediately wanting to play perfect notes and chords. I look forward to continuing lessons.

Welcome to a new world with the English language! Learning a new language is one of the most exciting things you can do for yourself, as it has so many benefits. It opens you up to a whole new world full of different experiences, opportunities and friendships! I am a huge proponent of learning a second language. I love teaching English because I love working with internationals. Let me tell you a little about myself.
I have lived and worked in China, and taught many students of all ages, both in this country and abroad. I am TEFL certified and have a master's degree in psychology. I can tailor your language learning to whatever your goals may be- whether it is for work, school, or social needs. I have an eclectic and experiential approach to teaching.

language learning. I have a sharp ear and am concerned with pronunciation.
Please contact me with any questions about location for your lessons, as I cannot tailor my profile here the way I would like. I teach in-home lessons on the Eastside of Seattle. Students outside of this area, I generally meet at a library closer to me. I do have availability in Seattle (limited), where I meet students at Beacon Hill Branch Library.
I look forward to working with you!

About Yassine
My name is Yassine and I am a French/Arabic language instructor. I have taught language for over 10 years, overseas in countries such as Morocco and Italy, and now locally in the United States. I am passionate about languages and enjoy sharing my real-world knowledge with students. It is my goal to teach the actual use of the language, not just to pass exams. I grew up speaking French and Arabic, and have a French Language Certificate from the French Institute. At the US Embassy in Morocco, I attended many workshops that taught skills and practices in teaching adult and youth learners. During this time, I also taught French and Arabic to Peace Corps volunteers. Teaching for the Peace Corps gave me the experience to hone in on the skills of my students and adjust my lesson plans to match their needs. I cannot wait to teach you Frenc
h or Arabic!
