Spanish

My studies and extensive travels have allowed me to gain thorough knowledge of both the Spanish language and Latin American culture. I received my BA in Traditional Spanish in 2014. Next, I worked as a Biligual Home-School Advisor at a US primary school with a predominately Hispanic student population from 2015-2017. In addition, I studied abroad in Costa Rica during the summer of 2016. Finally, I have lived, worked, and traveled throughout Latin America for 4 years; I gained valuable teaching experience as a TEFL instructor in Colombia, South America for almost three years, and I am currently living in Ecuador.

First Session

Had a great first session with John. He was very knowledgeable and had the right approach for what I am looking for. Already have another session of many more scheduled!

Good tutor

He was really good and he taught me good. He explained into easier terms. But I did forget what to do, but otherwise he’s a good tutor to have. And I actually am starting to understand things easier when he’s around since I’m unable to understand things at school but with him it’s easier. This is why I gave this rating to suggest for people to have this tutor.

awesome Tutor!

John is a great tutor. He made the learning fun and interesting and didn’t even feel monotonous or drawn out like tutoring can be. Got a lot out of the class in a short time.

James, 10 lessons with John

very knowledgable and fun tutor

John was immediately available and is a very good & timely communicator. High school Spanish lesson was great, my student will repeat lessons! They went over difficult grammar questions, and John explained them expertly and patiently! Highly recommended!!

Very patient, intuitive & knowledgeable...

Mr. John had a lot of patience with my child. I reviewed the two recorded sessions my kid had with Mr. John in one day and I was very impressed with his presentation and skill. My kid is picky and told me he knows Mr. John can help him with mastering his knowledge and concepts in English writing. Thank you so much. Best!

Knowledgeable, patient and easy to use

Our son needed help with English, and John has been able to help keep him motivated through assignments. They both get a lot of work done through sessions, which has helped our son stay on top of his assignments rather than fall behind like he was.

Exceptional Spanish tutor

On all fronts, John does incredibly well in being a competent and understanding Spanish tutor. I've only had a handful of lessons with him, but I can say with certainty that he makes learning rewarding and fun as well as informational. john's saint-like patience is something to behold and he will give you as much time as you need to figure things out yourself; a quality that I highly appreciate in a tutor. If you need somebody to be your Spanish tutor for any occasion or level, fluent or not, John's got your back.

Very experienced and patient teacher

John prepares his classes very well, with very interesting exercises to improve my speaking and listening skills. He is very patient and diligent in explaining and clarifying my doubts

Omar, 41 lessons with John

Very Helpful

John is helping our son with Spanish. During the first semester he was struggling; by the end of the semester, he received an A on his final and a B out of the class. John is patient and will go into detail to help you understand.
