Hello! My name is Vanessa and I am very passionate about education. I believe that no matter what your strengths and weaknesses may be, you can achieve whatever you wish if you work hard and have the right support system. I have experience working with students of all ages. I have a Bachelor's degree in psychology and a Master's in Education.

I taught Spanish in New York City for 6 years and have 10+ years of tutoring experience. I studied Spanish in Spain and am fluent in written and spoken Spanish. Among my proudest achievements are the successes of my AP Spanish students who not only earned high marks on the AP Spanish language test, but also went on to study Spanish in college. I really enjoyed teaching in the classroom, but now I am looking forward to working with students one-on-one to help them reach their educational goals.

Although my expertise is in Spanish, I also have experience tutoring math, English, and SAT prep. I am very patient and am able to work with any level of ability and ambition. I can work with you to make a plan to reach your goals and help motivate you to reach them. Because of my experience as a teacher, I have many creative ways of presenting and instructing content. Depending on what type of learner you are and how you prefer best to take in new information.

I have an extensive background in theatre and children's theatre. I have acted, directed, and stage managed many productions. I also have experience as a stage lighting designer. In my last school I was the co-director of the theatre program and I directed and produced several plays and other student productions.

Vanessa is Awesome!

Vanessa is awesome! She is very patient and finds different ways to approach the material for better understanding. I wish we had found her at the beginning of the school year, she would have made the year a lot less stressful.

Tutor responded:

Thank you for your comment, Karen. I am enjoying working with your son. I, too, wish we had found each other earlier in the year!

Tremendous help! We highly recommend Vanessa for Spanish tutoring!

We were looking for extra help for our daughters in Spanish and Vanessa delivered. She has a calm, organized approach and was able to help both my 6th grader and 9th grader learn the necessary material. Both girls enjoy working with Vanessa and have said they wish their school teacher was more like her. I know our family will be using her often in the future.

Thanks so much for your feedback, Kate! I really enjoy working with your girls.

Outstanding tutor

Vanessa is punctual, reliable, and very patient. She is thorough in her explanations and provides just enough material to challenge the student without causing confusion. It is a pleasure working with her.
