About Debbie


Bio

My favorite subject to tutor is Spanish! I love the language and enjoy bringing students along to love it also. I have taught Spanish for 8 years at the Jr. High level but have also taught Spanish 1 for high schoolers. I also enjoy working with students in English (grammar/composition), World History, U.S. History and learning how and what to study for tests. My goal is to help students see success in learning whatever subject is in front of them.

I love to travel and lived in Mexico and Venezuela for 4 years while in my teens. Thus began my love of the Spanish language and enjoying cultures and languages. I welcome getting to work with your student!

One of my past jobs was typing and transcribing reports for a private investigator. I have also edited research papers for high school students. I also have a good vocabulary and am able to spot spelling errors quickly.
Study Skills

Study Skills

I have been a teacher for almost 10 years. I have tutored several students in the past few years, helping them organize their work, creating a weekly calendar of their classes, determining when and what they need to study for. I also help students narrow down their subject matter and focus on the key items to study for. I have worked with all ages of students - junior high through high school. I have also worked with international students where English is their second language. I have helped them compose written language assignments and research papers.
Writing

Writing

I have written many reports and papers for classes. Most recently, I have taken several classes with University of Phoenix where I have to write papers and I have consistently received an A on my own papers. I know I can help students write a good essay, research paper, persuasive essay, etc.

Thank you for your kind words and review. I have enjoyed working with your son over the summer and wish him success in his future!

Highly recommended teacher/tutor

My son started Spanish when he started high school and has struggled in the class from the beginning. The class lesson wasn't for the beginners, so I found Debbie to help him. She has been helping my son a lot and explains how the words work as well as the grammar/vocabulary. As a kind and considerate tutor, she understands the level of the learner so she knows how to assist in any way possible. She also recommended other resources beside the school book for fun learning. From my view, she is easy to communicate and flexible for scheduling. She is on time all the time and very friendly. I feel fortunate to find her in Wyzant. I highly recommend her as Spanish tutor.

Youngsun, thank you so much for your kind words and feedback. I really appreciate them!

Excellent Tutor!

Debbie is an amazing tutor because she will always try to push you to do your hardest. When you come across a hard question, she will give you clues, but you are mainly on your own. She is easy to contact, and she is very polite and I am sure many people are glad to have her as a tutor. She will quiz you and give you tips and tricks to help you with tricky concepts, and she does an excellent job as a tutor!

Debbie has been a huge help to my son who needed tutoring in Spanish 2. She is very nice, reliable, professional, and a pleasure to know. I highly recommend Debbie to anyone who is looking for a Spanish tutor.

Amazing Tutor

Debbie does an amazing job. Our son loves meeting with her and looks forward to his Spanish lessons. Thank you so much. She really gets him and what motivates him.

Wonderful Tutor!

Debbie is a wonderful tutor. With her help, my daughter was able to secure an "A" in Spanish 2. Debbie is a teacher so her skill in tutoring is far superior than most other tutors. She is very knowledgeable in Spanish and thus, insightful in bringing awareness to problems that my daughter may encounter. Most importantly, my teenage daughter really likes Debbie. She is extremely patient and makes every effort to ensure that my daughter understands her school assignments. I'm so glad that Debbie will be tutoring my daughter when she takes Spanish 3 this fall.
