About James


Bio

I'm a native English speaker with a Master's Degree in Spanish, a Bachelor's Degree in Spanish Language & Culture, and over 15 years experience as a Spanish tutor with WyzAnt. I speak, read and write Spanish fluently. I learned Spanish in the same way as your students, as a second language. I started my journey as a freshman in high school, but the language didn’t click for me until college.

I'm a native English speaker with a Master's Degree in Spanish, a Bachelor's Degree in Spanish Language & Culture, and over 15 years experience as a Spanish tutor with WyzAnt. I speak, read and write Spanish fluently. I learned Spanish in the same way as your students, as a second language. I started my journey as a freshman in high school, but the language didn’t click for me until college. That is to say, I have a firsthand understanding of many of the same troubles and frustrations that your students are experiencing. While the bulk of my graduate studies pertained to Spanish literature, I particularly enjoy the grammar aspect of the language. I know what works. I know what doesn’t. Let your students benefit from my experience.

More about me: I didn’t learn Spanish because it was required. I learned it because I wanted to. The more I learned, the more I realized how much I loved learning languages. So much so that I switched majors. Apart from Spanish, I also hold an AA in French, and very seriously considered a double major. Learning Spanish literally changed my life. Without it, I would not be where I am today.

Approved Subjects

ESL/ESOL

ESL/ESOL

I enjoy learning foreign languages and believe that everyone should speak at least two languages. Myself, I'm a native English speaker and I've studied both Spanish and French. Through these studies, I've come to understand the mechanics of the English language better than I had prior to learning other languages. My experience makes me well suited for Spanish speakers looking to further their understanding of the English language. If that's you then I could be the right tutor for you.
Spanish

Spanish

I firmly believe in the importance of learning other languages. Myself, I have studied French and dabbled in Portuguese as well, but Spanish has always been my focus. As someone who learned Spanish as a second language, I have a firm grasp of all concepts relating to grammar and sentence structure and can easily understand the frustrations that come from trying to learn a foreign language. It takes time to learn another language, but the task can be significantly easier when accompanied by someone who's already been through the same.

Fantastic, patient Spanish tutor

James has been working with my high schooler who is in Spanish 4 for the last 2 months. My child was extremely anxious about Spanish before and felt like they were out of their depth. James has been really patient and has helped my child improve their Spanish skills, confidence, and grades. Working with James has made my child feel so much better about Spanish class.

Professional and experienced

I am very pleased to share my experience with my daughter’s Spanish teacher James,From the beginning, it was clear that he is not only highly knowledgeable in Spanish but also a dedicated and patient educator who truly cares about his students’ progress and confidence. guides her through the thought process with gentle questioning and clear explanations. This method helps her understand concepts more deeply and encourages her to think critically rather than just memorize. His feed back helps parents a lot what she need to practice to excel more and what she did well and where she needed more help.

Outstanding Spanish Tutor!

My son has been taking college-level Spanish tutoring sessions with James, and it has been such a wonderful experience. James is incredibly patient and thorough, ensuring my son truly understands each concept before moving forward. What I really appreciate is his sincere dedication to helping students genuinely learn the language, rather than just completing assignments. Thanks to James's support, my son has gained more confidence and developed a deeper love for the Spanish language. We are very grateful to have found such a caring and committed tutor and highly recommend him!

Over and Above

James is awesome! My son has a test on Friday and James was able to make time Thursday and help him get better prepared. Thank you so much for the outstanding service.

Patricia, 88 lessons with James

Patient, thoughtful tutor

James is amazing. My son has struggled with Spanish and James has helped him tremendously. My son has ADHD and anxiety, so he’s not the best student. James has incredible patience and has helped him pull his grade up by two letters. He responds quickly to messages and is available on weekends too. James is the best tutor my son has ever had.

Great tutor

James has tutored my high schooler for several months. He is very patient and thorough during lessons. Provides supplemental work and resources continuously beyond our needed school work help. His session reports are detailed helpful to inform the parent what they did, how they did and what they plan to do.
