About
I’m a native speaker with 30 years of combined experience( tutoring and teaching ). I customize lesson plans for each student based on the student's learning style and strongly emphasize filling out any gaps that the student may have from a previous year.
Tutoring to me is a joint effort of the student, the parent's support, and the tutor. I always maintain open communication with parents and keep them well-informed of the student's progress.
Students achieve excellent results in a short period with me and there is a reason why I have a solid reputation in the area.
**PLEASE NOTE. I do NOT teach children under 12 and NO adult lessons ( unless it is college-related). Please Do Not contact me if you fall under that age category.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
I like to meet with the student first via zoom for 20 minutes ( free of charge )so we can get to know each other and for me to do an informal diagnosis of the student's level to assess any gaps that the student may have and create a plan of improvement with reasonable timelines.
*After that complimentary meeting , I give my feedback to both the student and the parent.
**I do NOT teach adults(only if it is College level Spanish ). I teach middle school , highschool and college level .
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have a Bachelors degree as well as a Master's degree( MBA)
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
I do have a standard pricing based on the level that the student is/ will take in school and also based on the number of classes that the student wishes to commit to .
How did you get started teaching?
I started teaching and tutoring Spanish since I was a college student 30 yrs ago. Teaching Spanish to Executives of major U.S. corporations in Houston and law firms
Then later on in life after I had 2 wonderful daughters, I decided to be a stay at home mom and during my spare time I started tutoring and teaching middle school , highschool and college students since 25 years ago.
What types of students have you worked with?
I have worked with ALL types of students from diverse backgrounds that attend both public schools and private schools.
Describe a recent event you are fond of.
I had a student taking Spanish 2 at a private Christian school. When I started tutoring the student, he was failing tests. After 2 months of tutoring him biweekly, the student is getting scores of 90 and above on every single assessment and can understand and form complex sentences. As a tutor, there is no greater joy than seeing a student have such a dramatic improvement in such a short time under my guidance and with their hard work !!!
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
Confirm the years of experience that the tutor has. Talk to his/ her previous students and parents. But most importantly, confirm that the tutor is a native speaker .
