Master's in Spanish Literature with a focus on 20th-century writers
For nearly three decades, I've had the privilege of introducing students to the beautiful world of Spanish literature. From famous writers like García Márquez to lesser-known poets, my classes delve into the works that have shaped Spanish culture and its language. These years have also seen me guide students in understanding not just the language but the emotions, history, and narratives behind the words.
My approach to teaching Spanish is deeply rooted in its literary traditions. In my classes, we don't just read the works; we discuss them, break them down, and even try our hand at writing. This helps students expand their vocabulary and get a better grasp of grammar structures. Of course, while literature is the core, I ensure that students practice speaking, listening, and writing to get a comprehensive understanding of the language.
Taking Spanish with Mr. Smith feels like taking a literature class and a language class at the same time. The stories and poems we read give so much depth to our lessons. I love it!
I have to admit, I've grown to appreciate Spanish literature a lot more thanks to Mr. Smith. His passion for the subject really shows, and it's contagious. I just wish we had a few more conversational activities.
There's something special about learning a language through its literature. The way Harry Smith teaches makes Spanish come alive in a whole new way. I love the depth we get into with the literary texts, but sometimes I feel a little overwhelmed. A bit more balance with basic conversation would be great. Nonetheless, I've learned a lot. I do hope we can have more sessions on Spanish cinema soon.

I've been teaching Spanish to students for more than 25 years, and I always stress how beautiful and deep the language's literature is. I've introduced many students to the rich world of Spanish writing, from the passionate poems of Pablo Neruda to the thought-provoking prose of Gabriel García Márquez. I've met authors, poets, and scholars at many literature workshops in Spain and Latin America. These interactions have helped me learn more about the language and its subtleties.
The way I teach is based on the idea that literature is the soul of a language. I don't just teach grammar and vocabulary; I get my students interested in the stories, poems, and articles written in Spanish. We learn language patterns and improve our vocabulary and understanding at the same time when we read. I also like it when people talk about themes, figures, and historical background in groups. This helps everyone understand the whole picture. People in my class don't just speak Spanish; they feel it, understand it, and, most of all, love it.
Mrs. Green's class feels like a book club, where we explore amazing Spanish works. It's my favorite part of the week.
Emily has tutored my daughter for the last three months. I needed someone who could fit in with our hectic lifestyle, and I found her very accommodating, punctual, and reliable. Emily was very aware of what was needed and was prepared in advance for lessons, especially if there was anything in particular my daughter wanted to focus on. My daughter has learned over and above what she was doing in school, thanks to her, and is much more confident in speaking, writing, and understanding Spanish. I would recommend Ms. Emily in a heartbeat.
The way we learn about Spanish culture and history through literature is fascinating. I only wish there was a bit more focus on conversational practice. She keeps me interested in my goal of becoming skilled in Spanish and encourages me to keep going. She gives you a lot of information about books, CDs, community groups, and other things that can help you improve your skills.
Master's in Spanish Literature
I have spent the better part of 25 years teaching Spanish, and throughout that time I have created a passion for the language and its extensive literary legacy in countless students. The stories, poetry, and narratives that the Spanish language had to offer drew me in the moment I started teaching. I've made an effort to instill this desire in my students over the years. In addition, I've had the opportunity to visit many Spanish-speaking nations and immerse myself in their cultures, which has given my teaching a distinct flavor.
Spanish, for me, is a canvas of experiences. My teaching revolves around the "Rutas y Relatos" (Routes and Tales) concept. Each lesson represents a journey, whether through the winding streets of Barcelona's Gothic Quarter or the folklore of Andalusia's villages. We'll simulate train journeys where students "buy" tickets using their Spanish skills or have "book club" sessions discussing excerpts from Spanish novellas. With periodic "fiesta" days, celebrating everything from La Tomatina to Dia de los Muertos, I aspire to have my students not just learn Spanish, but to feel its pulse and vibrancy.
Mr. Taylor's classes are a literary delight! I've not only improved in my Spanish but also found some of my favorite authors through his recommendations. His passion for literature is infectious.
I always look forward to Joshua's lessons. We get to explore the language through some of the most beautiful pieces of literature. I just wish we had a bit more speaking practice.
Joshua is a very flexible teacher. He adapts the class to meet my needs. He draws me into talks so I can put what we've spoken about into practice. Every lesson, he is well-prepared, and anytime I have questions, he is very accommodating in breaking things down at my level. Our lessons are always enjoyable and highly participatory. With him, time goes so swiftly and you never feel bored. If you're searching for a friendly yet highly skilled Spanish tuition, I highly recommend him.
Master's in Spanish Linguistics
For two decades, I've been helping students discover the wonders of the Spanish language. Having a deep fascination for how accents and dialects vary across Spanish-speaking regions, I always try to incorporate these variations into my lessons. Over the years, I've traveled extensively across Spain and Latin America, and I bring those experiences and insights into the classroom. My students get to hear authentic pronunciations, idiomatic expressions, and regional slang, making their learning experience rich and authentic.
I believe in teaching students fully in the sounds and rhythms of Spanish. We often listen to audio clips from different regions, trying to pick up subtle changes in pronunciation and intonation. Role plays, mock phone calls, and listening exercises are frequent activities in my class. I also invite guest speakers from various Spanish-speaking countries to share their experiences, giving students a broader understanding of the cultural contexts in which Spanish is spoken.
Ms. Cooper's classes have been eye-opening. I thought I knew Spanish, but hearing all these different dialects and accents was a new experience. She makes every lesson unique. She is a great teacher who really cares about what each student has done well and what they are good at. I think she would be a great teacher for anyone
I genuinely appreciate how Isabella dives deep into the nuances of the language. Every class is a new adventure. Though sometimes, it'd be great to focus a bit more on written exercises.
Isabella brings the world into the classroom. From Spain to Argentina to Mexico, it's like travelling without leaving our seats! A more structured approach to grammar would be the cherry on top.

For twenty years, I've taught students about the wonders of Spanish language and literature. My love for Spanish deepened when I spent a year in Seville, experiencing its lively culture and traditions. I've seen how the language has changed and evolved, and I'm passionate about sharing its depth and richness. My lessons are infused with tales from my time in Spain, giving students a real feel for Spanish life.
Language is a window to a nation's soul. Beyond just grammar and vocabulary, I encourage students to understand the cultural context behind the words. We explore Spanish festivals, culinary delights, and regional dialects. Alongside traditional lessons, students participate in cooking sessions or dance workshops to feel the rhythm of Spanish culture. My goal is for students to experience Spanish as a living, breathing entity, and not just as a subject in a textbook.
Mr. Robinson's lessons are an absolute delight. Every class feels like a mini trip to Spain. His anecdotes about Spanish culture have made me even more eager to visit!
I discovered that Alexander was a truly unique teacher when I first met him two years ago in the Epic Group. He makes learning Spanish enjoyable for us with his innovative and engaging teaching methods.He has a great deal of patience and intelligence. His methods of instruction so pleased me that I now get private lessons with him. I speak Spanish at work, on the road, and in day-to-day interactions. Since working with him, my Spanish has improved and I now have more confidence while speaking the language. To get their child accepted into a Culver City bilingual program, I suggested Alexander to a family whose youngster desired to study Spanish. His assistance was a major factor in the boy's acceptance into that school. He is the instructor I suggest over all others because of all of this.

I enjoy learning new languages, and I also enjoy teaching. I love to introduce others to my language and culture. In my spare time, I like discovering new languages and performing Flamenco. I would adore to tell you everything about my culture.I've been a teacher for more than ten years, both in person and online. I hold a teaching credential. I can also speak English. In terms of my methodology, I place a lot of emphasis on thorough instruction. It will be enjoyable and interactive for you to learn Spanish. Additionally, I will give you highly engaging homework assignments so you can master grammar and pronunciation while also expanding your vocabulary. For example,
My teaching methods emphasize the foundational structures of the language. I believe that if you get the basics right, the complexities become easier to tackle. I blend grammar exercises with conversational sessions, ensuring that my students not only write well but also communicate effectively in real-life situations. I also incorporate listening exercises using diverse Spanish media, helping students to understand different accents and expand their vocabulary.
Ms. Clark has been instrumental in my Spanish journey. Her methods are clear, and she always finds ways to make learning fun and interactive. The listening sessions are a game-changer
Lily's focus on the foundation of the language has made learning so much smoother for me. I do hope we can get more exposure to Spanish culture in upcoming lessons.
Under Ms. Clark's guidance, I feel confident in both my writing and speaking skills. The variety in her lessons keeps things interesting. More cultural exploration would be a cherry on top.
Master's in Spanish Literature
Over a span of 15 years, I've had the privilege to introduce students to the wonders of Spanish literature. From the poetic verses of Lorca to the existential prose of Cervantes, I've seen students' eyes light up with inspiration and understanding. I've always been passionate about how language shapes culture and vice versa, which has driven me to delve deep into various eras of Spanish literature, including the Golden Age, the Generation of '98, and modern pieces. Sharing this passion and knowledge with young minds has been one of my life's most fulfilling experiences.
To truly understand a language, one must delve into its literature. My classes aren't just about reading; they're about comprehending, analyzing, and experiencing the emotions penned down by great authors. While ensuring students master grammar and vocabulary, I also expose them to literary pieces that challenge their thinking. By discussing plots, characters, and societal influences, I aim to make students critically evaluate what they read, drawing parallels with today's world and enriching their language learning experience.
I consider myself really fortunate to have found Thomas as a teacher: His classes are well organized with specific objectives, and because he is "fluent" in what is possible with the internet, he employs a ton of helpful resources while also providing heaps of resources to study and aid in improving your Spanish-speaking. Definitely recommend him
His class offers a fresh perspective on Spanish. I've not only improved my language skills but also grown fond of Spanish novels. I do wish, however, we could sometimes focus more on day-to-day conversational Spanish
I wholeheartedly endorse Cristóbal to anyone looking to learn or practice Spanish. His classes are really engaging, and he use a variety of tools to teach you the REAL language. He is a kind, genuine person who helps you fully grasp and master what you have learned in his classes..
Master's in Hispanic Studies with a focus on Latin American Culture
I've taught Spanish for 12 years, and I've always thought that language brings people from different countries together. After traveling a lot through Latin American countries, my love for the Spanish language got stronger. Between the busy streets of Mexico City and the quiet parts of Patagonia, I've learned a lot of interesting things. Because I have done so many different things, I can give my students a full picture by showing them traditions from Spain to the unique cultures of Central and South America.
In my classroom, Spanish isn't just taught; it's celebrated. I've structured lessons around the concept of "Pueblos y Plazas" - each session transports students to a different Spanish village or town square. We learn about the different kinds of local languages, reenact traditional town events, and even pretend to negotiate in the market. To keep people interested, I sometimes include taste tests of local foods or hearing sessions of famous local music. This method not only improves language skills but also helps people connect with each other in the different Spanish groups.
I've known Ava Wright for more than two years, and I have nothing but praise for her. When I have questions, she always responds with examples that help me understand the material. Her teaching style is straightforward. Her command of the connections between Spanish and English grammar makes her an excellent teacher. For anyone looking to learn Spanish, I wholeheartedly suggest Ava as an instructor. What she does works.
It's enlightening to learn about Spanish in a wider context, not limited to Spain. The focus on Latin America is genuinely appreciated.
Ava's energetic teaching style keeps the class lively. However, I do feel a need for more in-depth grammar sessions.
Bachelor's in Spanish Linguistics with a focus on Phonetics
I've been assisting students in learning and appreciating the Spanish language for the past ten years. I can now teach students how to speak Spanish more naturally by emphasizing the language's sounds and rhythm thanks to my experience in phonetics. I frequently visit Spanish-speaking nations on my summer vacations, which has improved my understanding of the distinctive accents and dialects of various locales.
For me, speaking Spanish correctly is more than just knowing the words; it's about getting the sound right. That's why in my classes, we practice a lot on pronunciation and making sure words sound just like how a local would say them. We use listening exercises, repeat-after-me sessions, and even some fun tongue twisters to get the sounds just right. Alongside this, we cover the essential grammar and vocabulary parts, ensuring that students get a complete learning experience.
Mr. Hall's classes are amazing! Before I joined his class, I struggled with my Spanish accent. Now, people often think I've spent years in Spain when they hear me speak. Big thanks to his approach on pronunciation.
I genuinely didn't think I'd find a class focusing on how words sound interesting, but George proved me wrong. I can see and hear the difference in how I speak Spanish now. It's clearer and sounds more natural. Wish we had a bit more on Spanish history though.
George’s way of teaching is unique. We don't just learn the words, but we learn how they should sound. I'm more confident in speaking now, especially with the locals. I do hope we dive a bit more into Spanish culture in the upcoming lessons.

Over the past nine years, I've taken many students on trips through the vast world of Spanish language. Because I'm really interested in the phonetics, grammar, and syntax of Spanish, I've been able to get many of my students excited about it too. I've learned about regional accents, dialects, and slang by learning in different Spanish-speaking areas for many years. This makes my lessons more interesting and varied.
Language, for me, is more than just words and sentences; it's about understanding the language and grasping the emotion behind each phrase. I emphasize heavily on interactive sessions where students can practice speaking, listening, and comprehension. Using real-life situations, modern Spanish music, and films, I aim to give students an immersive experience. While the curriculum is essential, I believe in going beyond and giving students tools to communicate effectively, making them confident to engage in any Spanish conversation, whether in a classroom or on the streets of Barcelona.
Olivia is friendly and encouraging! If you are hesitant about booking lessons, just go for it!
I genuinely appreciate how she integrates real-life materials like music and movies into our lessons. It feels so relatable. Though I do wish we had more written exercises.
Olivia is fun to work with and makes you feel very comfortable. She focuses on what you WANT to do while adding in what you NEED to do effortlessly. I'm loving working with her.
