Eduardo Spanish Tutoring
About
Write about your passion for your services and how you will help students achieve their goals.
I am passionate about helping others master Spanish language skills. I am happy and fulfilled for helping others understand, speak, read, and write in Spanish. Because by opening up to other languages our internal world expands, we enrich ourselves by incorporating a new worldview into our lives.
I can help students achieve the goal of mastering Spanish language skills:
• Firstly, because I am fluent in it, Spanish is my mother tongue, I have a bachelor's degree in Philosophy, another bachelor's degree in Theology, a specialty in Sacred Scripture, and I am currently doing a Diploma in Pedagogy of Spanish as a Foreign Language, with the Instituto Cervantes from Spain.
• I would help the students to achieve their objectives, focusing on their difficulties, analyzing their specific needs to organize a plan that responds to their specific situation, their age and their level of knowledge of the language.
Tell your experience. How long have you been doing this and where?
I am fond of teaching. In Santo Domingo I was enrolled in training activities for more than 15 years. For five years I was director of the Minor Seminary of the Missionaries of the Sacred Heart, in charge of the formation of young candidates for the priesthood. For three years I was director of the Major Seminary of the same religious community. And for three years I was a professor of philosophy at the Pontificia Universidad Católica Madre y Maestra (PUCMM) in Santiago, Dominican Republic. During this time I was tutoring online, through the Moodle platform

Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
No, if I am hired we can discuss the price
How did you get started teaching?
My first experience as a teacher was related to what my mission was. I was a priest and I was assigned the task of teaching new students. Years later I retired from the priesthood and was hired as a professor of philosophy at the PUCMM University in Santiago, Dominican Republic.
What types of students have you worked with?
So far I have worked with teens, youth and young adults, but I can work with people of different ages and different backgrounds.
Describe a recent event you are fond of.
Earlier this year, before the COVID quarantine, as I finished some Sacred Scripture classes at St. Mark's Parish in Queens, I was filled with excitement as I saw the satisfaction of people mastering the details of a situation.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
· It is a great advantage to have at your disposal a teacher who responds to your specific needs
· I, in your place, would choose a native speaker.
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
The student might ask:
• How am I in the learning process?
• What difficulties am I encountering in the subjects I am currently studying?
• Which of the Spanish skills (speaking, understanding, reading, writing) is it hardest for me to master?
• How can I help make meetings with the tutor more productive?
