About
I have always had a passion for teaching. Although I mostly tutored mathematics during my time in college I did also help my freinds out with their spanish. I believe I can provide an excellent service as I am a native spanish and english speaker. I also offer excellent flexibility in scheduling and costs.
I love working with people. The past year has definitely been tough working from home. As of recently starting work again in person has been the highlight of my year as I get to interact with my friends and co-workers face to face. If you choose Miguel's Spanish Tutoring I guarantee we will have a great working relationship that we can both benefit and learnfrom.

The best advice I could give a student looking for a teacher is to find someone you are comfortable with and can get along. Teaching should be an enjoyable experience for both student and teacher.
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
My top three student questions are:
