Son benefited from first session

Roberto completed his first hour with my son this weekend. My son (typical picky teen) asked to continue the tutoring sessions bi-weekly now. Roberto knew exactly what my son was currently studying in class and went over the subject matter coming up soon. He left my son with some helpful handouts.

Organized and knowledgeable tutor

Roberto does a great job breaking down complex Spanish grammar concepts into manageable chunks. He is organized and encouraging. He uses visual aides combined with verbal explanation (multiple teaching modalities) good for students with diverse learning styles.

Great high school Spanish tutor

Roberto is tutoring high school Spanish very effectively. My kid, who initially was very reticent to get a tutor has turned around and is now really appreciative of the tutoring sessions by Roberto. He has tailored the lessons to his current Spanish 2 class. Thank you - highly recommended.

Wonderful!

Kind, Patient, and Great instructor for my son. Roberto has a quasi calming nature that has made my sons experience that much more meaningful, and thus such a great benefit.

Experienced and helpful educator!

Roberto's high school teaching experience and native speaking ability provide what my daughter needs in a tutor for Spanish 3. He quickly assessed her level and where she needed extra support and moved quickly into exercises and discussion that has helped her stay ahead of her questions. He is friendly and professional. I would highly recommend him for any Spanish tutoring.
