Spanish Tutoring
About
I started volunteering as a teachers assistant at an elementary school when I was 17, and the kids loved it whenever I would volunteer because I made them happy, and I would congratulate them whenever they got a question right or when they did a good job. Since then, I am soon going to be A college graduate, and i've been wanting to find a full-time job to become a Spanish tutor for a while because I am bilingual and I am intermediate, and I would love to work with kids again, especially the ones that would love to learn Spanish.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
First I would like to know a little bit about the student and what they are most comfortable with when it comes to learning and how they would like to learn that language whether it be using a Spanish ABC board or just sounding out the letters first.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I don't need any training or education I am fully bilingual I am an intermediate. I taught my autistic brother some Spanish and I taught my cousin Spanish.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
Yes my classes are $25 an hour
How did you get started teaching?
I became a volunteer teacher's assistant for five months when I was 17, and from there I just loved it especially because I knew that I could speak 2 languages, I knew I could use my bilingual skills to help other kids learn a new language in the future as well.
What types of students have you worked with?
Elementary school students from kindergarten through third grade, and my brother that has autism.
Describe a recent event you are fond of.
Nothing recently, but in 2019 I tutored my cousin for the whole summer, and I got to teach her Spanish, and I thought that was really fun.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
Make sure that they know what they're doing, and they know what they're talking about. Make sure they have patience because when it comes to teaching, you need lots of patience and you need the vocation to know how to handle a student when they don't understand something and they're getting frustrated. When it comes to teaching students with special needs such as my brother, you need lots of patience which is why I am proud of having the experience of teaching him, because now I can teach students that have special needs, Spanish as well.
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
How to pronounce a certain Spanish word.
Sometimes Learning a new language can be a bit frustrating so how to take a step back and breathe before continuing.
Depending on how far they are in tutoring and how much they've learned and memorized, how to spell a certain Spanish words.
