About your spanish tutor

¡Hola! I'm Amanda, a trilingual teacher/tutor with 15 years' experience in the classroom and 3 years of experience teaching or tutoring Spanish specifically. My students have ranged in age from 2 to 77-years-old, and I can adjust my classes for a wide variety of ages, skill levels and learning goals. I am happy to support you on your Spanish learning journey, whether you are a beginner needing basic vocabulary, an intermediate learner looking to improve your grammar, an advanced student wanting in-depth conversations to build your comprehension or somewhere in between. Every learner is unique and deserves to be treated as such. Wherever you are starting and wherever you are going, I can help you get there in an engaging way that suits your personal learning objectives and preferences. ¡Espero conocerte pronto! I hope to meet you soon!

Spanish classes highlights

My teaching approach focuses on personalized tutoring to meet your unique learning goals. We can focus on vocabulary development, verb conjugation, listening comprehension, speaking practice, homework help or any combination of the above. I offer classes in Spanish listening, reading, writing, speaking, grammar, vocabulary and conversation. The tools we use will depend on your learning needs and preferences, but in general I like to offer many speaking opportunities, visual supports, games, role plays and interactive lessons. Generally, lessons will build upon one another and routinely cycle back to previous knowledge to reinforce the learning. My methodology strengths lie in adapting to individual learning styles, fostering confidence in communication skills and providing a supportive environment for language acquisition and practice to progress on the road to proficiency.
