I am a native Spanish Speaker. I possess the soft qualities needed for a teacher to be successful in the language and math teaching arena. I am patient, detail oriented, cooperative and creative.
While I was pursuing my B.A. in Business, I worked for a language institute teaching Spanish and English. I taught students of all age levels. After graduating, I received a scholarship to pursue a M.A. in Management. After graduation, I worked as a Bilingual (Spanish-English) Educational Assistant for Saint Paul Public Schools. Soon, I published an eBook named Business Spanish Language Course for beginners.
While I was pursuing my math degree, I was a math Tutor at the Student´s Tutoring Center. I have just finished 4 math courses for tutoring children from Khan Academy for 3rd, 4th and 5th and 6th grade. I possess a Technical in Engineering and Math. While at the university I took: geometry, trigonometry, algebra I and II, Calculus I, II, III & IV and Differential Equations. These basic courses served to apply to physics, dynamics and construction courses.
I was a Spanish, Life Skills and Speech and Debate Teacher for Jefferson Preparatory High School for 2 years. I taught Spanish I, II and III in high school with a focus on student-centered classes which resulted in high engagement. Also, I worked as a Spanish Instructor at Northern Arizona University for 2 years. Before this, I worked in Obair, I trained a communicational-business goal for Corporate Executives. Some of the training were: negotiations theory and practice, making presentations, and written communication.
I posses a Master of Arts in Teaching Spanish with an emphasis on pedagogy, linguistics and literature. My learning throughout my studies was extensive and profound.

Feel free to contact me and allow me the pleasure to guide you in your next project of learning the Spanish language.

tutor with lots of variety

Paul is an excellent tutor who creates classes with a lot of variety. We have studied important Hispanic historical figures, as well as working on reading, comprehension, grammatical construction, and plenty of back-and-forth conversations. I also like the fact that Paul is a native speaker of Spanish, so I'm listening to someone who sounds like the people who I eventually want to be able to converse with.

Great

Knowledgeable and patient tutor We have had one class so far but booked 2 more classes with Paul He was very accommodative I asked him if we could have class on Sunday which he usually doesn’t offer and that we were where to start ASAP He agreed on doing that we really appreciate accommodating our schedule My son seems to like him and is willing to get the help that can help him pull up his Spanish grades and at the same token can help him get a good grip Of the language Thankyou Paul

Knowledgable, patient and accommodating.

Paul is an amazing tutor. Clearly very knowledgable. I'm trying to work on my fluency in Spanish, conjugations, speaking comfortably, etc. I addressed my concerns while Paul assessed my level. He effectively taught me so quickly what I struggled to understand from my other teachers. He is very detail oriented and answers every question until you understand. It's what I needed in a teacher...not someone who will look down on me for not knowing already, but someone who will work me through it patiently and answer my questions in ways I understand.

Good tutor

He has helped me relearn Spanish starting with Spanish 1 so I can do Spanish 3. He is very helpful and I can easily relearn all the subjects I need to know. He teaches very well.

Madhu, 54 lessons with Paul
Tutor responded:

Thank you very much Madhu! Vamsi is doing quite well. He has caught up with the language and now he has a fast response to the language. He should do well in Spanish 3.

Paul is great tutor and has deep knowledge of Spanish

Paul has been tutoring my daughter for few weeks now and he has really helped improve my daughters confidence and ability of Spanish. He has focused on areas where she needed help and gives her small exercises to do in between so he can test that she is grasping the concepts. Will gladly ask him for help again next year

Thank you Mrs. Terquillia! I think Elijah is getting the hang of the Spanish language. He is a cool relax personality and very smart. He has a good pronounciation and catches on the information at a good pace. He will be developing his oral skill sooner than later.
