I pride myself on being a patient and experienced Spanish language tutor and former elementary school teacher. I am willing and able to tutor students in Spanish from elementary school, middle school, high school, college level and all adults who just want to learn Spanish for work or for fun. I can also design a curriculum based on your particular Spanish language needs and wants. I know how to explain concepts clearly, raise grades and boost confidence. English is my first language but I lived and studied in Mexico for a few years.
I am also an experienced and effective elementary school teacher with over 30 years of teaching experience from the Los Angeles Unified School District. I have taught children of all ages from kindergarten through sixth grade.I have had three years of Orton-Gillingham training and one year of LETRS training in the Science of Reading. I taught kindergarten for 20 years and second grade for more than 12 years. I also successfully taught intervention classes as well as enrichment classes at my prior elementary school. I have had experience homeschooling in person as well.
I am available in person or online. I will always try my very best to help all of my students succeed.

Thank you very much for your kind words.

Amazing!!!

After a year of trying various tutors for my son, I found the perfect match with Stefanie. Stefanie understood what I was looking for, puts effort in preparing content that is beneficial and engages my son in the lesson. (No easy feat!) Not only engaged she is helping him build confidence and a more positive attitude. Very thankful to have her assistance and experience on our side!

Thank you so much Kate!

Great Tutor

Stefanie was my intermediate level college tutor for Spanish. Let me explain that I was in no way, shape, or form proficient in Spanish before seeing Stephanie and was very worried about not passing the class. When I began to see Stefanie, she was always on time, prepared, and always kept me on track with my work by bringing extra handouts and worksheets for me to work on with her and on my own. By providing me with the necessary tools, she made me feel self assured and confident when I turned in classwork and took exams. After my first exam I saw major improvements in my grade. Stephanie truly cares about her students understanding the content and succeeding. I attribute my success to having chose Stefanie as my tutor.

Experienced tutor!

Stefanie has been a wonderful find. With an Intimate understanding of the course she helped tutor my 11th grader in level 3 Spanish. Not only is she knowlegable but her teaching skills are excellent. She far exceeded other tutors ability to bring understanding to the subject matter. As well as being prepared, patient and professional in every way. I highly recommend her!

You Must Use this Tutor

My son was having a difficult time learning Spanish. His grades were falling and he just wasn't getting it. Stefanie was able to get through to him, and through great patience, taught him Spanish. As a result, his comprehension and his grades greatly improved. Thank you, Stefanie!
