Hi Everyone, my name is Janet and I have been teaching Spanish for over 20 years & I love it.

My specialties include helping others become fluent in Spanish in 3 - 6 months. I also specialize in helping high school with test preparation. I have helped many students learn Spanish & have fun. I help my students first with the basics of Spanish which are SER & ESTAR in the first lesson because these are foundations of Spanish which are used to describe (SER) yourself or other people. ESTAR (location) to identify the location you are in or other people.

After that we start implementing vocabulary in their immediate environment by placing stickies in their kitchen, bathroom, living room & bedroom, office and any other immediate environment they attend to on a daily basis. From there we expand on more vocabulary and more verbs and we use many examples to do this. I also assign my students an audio such as a podcast that they can listen to. Every lesson I will also always assign homework.

I have taken Spanish classes at UCLA. Also in college I took advanced Spanish classes. Yearly I continue to improve my skills to provide value to my students.

When I was in high school I taught students beginners Spanish as this was my first time I started teaching others for free. At the University of the Pacific I taught Spanish to others for 5 years as a tutor around my full time schedule as a student. After college I started teaching 1:1 lessons to students, adults and professionals around my full time job. My first advanced student was a lawyer and she wanted to implement learning Spanish in the workplace. As I continued in my Spanish journey I started taking on more students on a monthly basis.

I look forward to helping you take the next steps to learn Spanish starting today.

Responsive Spanish instructor

Janet has been tutoring me in introductory Spanish for a few lessons now, and I am extremely pleased with her preparation and explanation of the material. She works a lot on correct pronunciation and performing dialogues to emphasize the orality of the language. This is a benefit since I want to primarily speak the language as quickly as possible. Each lesson builds on the previous lessons in an organized way. Janet is also responsive to individual pacing and creates a weekly lesson plan just for my needs. Would highly recommend.

Don, 5 lessons with Janet

Excellent!

I was wanting to begin teaching my 5 yr-old son Spanish. I have very little background in the language myself and was excited to find Wyzant tutoring and have Janet come along side us as an instructor. Janet’s lessons are fun, educational, and encouraging. My son looks forward to his lessons and as a family it is fun working on learning a second language together.

We are so lucky we found Janet! She has been tutoring my 9 year old son for the past 6 months. Janet makes the sessions fun and interactive. It is wonderful to see my son’s interest in speaking Spanish and confidence grow! Its amazing how much he is learning After seeing his success I also started taking lessons. I am in the medical field and Janet has done an amazing job tailoring the lessons to me. She is 100% reliable and professional!.

Thank you Caitlin. I love working with your kids & helping them to learn Spanish.

Responsive, diligent and patient tutor

My 13 year old has had a few Spanish lessons with Janet this summer. My daughter likes that she is a knowledgeable, friendly and enthusiastic teacher. I appreciate that Janet is very responsive and is quick to get back to me when I reach out to her. In addition, I particularly liked that she asked me about my daughter's curriculum and had a plan and set goals to go through the syllabus. We hope to use Janet for Spanish lessons on a regular basis.
