Born and raised in Spain, I attended the Spanish Merchant Marine Academy, where I obtained undergraduate and graduate degrees. Once I settled in U.S.A., I studied undergraduate philosophy at UCLA and graduate at UC Berkeley, and also worked in the Information Technology field at Pac Tel and Bell Labs, among others.

Today retired, I have been teaching all levels of Spanish at The Commonwealth Club of San Francisco and tutoring for over 12 years. I derive great pleasure tutoring, given the opportunity it offers to observe immediate results.

Having moved to my current residence recently, I look forward to continue applying my diverse knowledge base and many years of experience to help others reach their academic goals.

To transform a student's initial insecurity into a joyful and well-founded confidence is always both my aim and chief reward.

Grammar

My knowledge of English Grammar reflects the benefit of the elaborate process that anyone learning English academically as a second language must pass through.

Before studying in American institutions (UCLA and UC Berkeley), I studied English for three years in the Spanish Merchant Marine Academy, given that English is the internationally accepted language among merchant mariners all over the world.

Once I settled down in the U.S., I studied and used English at the college... Read More

Spanish

Having tutored students of Spanish (all levels) for over 15 years, I feel most confident I can provide the guidance a student of Spanish needs to learn effectively and happily.

Writing

In addition to my graduate studies in philosophy (writing, writing, and more writing), any pieces I've sent to newspapers have been published. Being able to write in more than one language has given me the opportunity to appreciate how powerful the English language is in its written form. Not only I do it, but I love it ... as well.

English

Being bilingual (English/Spanish) has been a great help to enhance my competence in both languages. It has been much more than just having had the opportunity to practice them. I have graduate degrees in Spanish (Madrid) and English (Cal) and am certified to tutor in both languages.

Additionally, all my submitted articles for publication reached such end.

TOEFL

Born and raised in Spain, I soon started to study English in the Merchant Marine Academy (English is the international maritime language). After obtaining my Master in Spain, I sailed in American companies. Once I settled in Southern California, I earned my B.A. in philosophy from UCLA and my M.A. in the same field from Cal. I have also taught Spanish for many years, and still do, as well as English to foreign students.

Additionally, I have never submitted an article in English to a... Read More

Study Skills

I believe that my personal studying style has played a key role in my studies at the undergraduate and graduate levels in more than one field and country.

I find that teaching the student to differentiate between the essential material and the supporting one often suffices to accomplish a lot more with a lot less effort.

Fortunately, such ability can be learned through guidance and repetition. Once acquired, it becomes a most natural, and powerful, part of the student's...
