About Tura

Bio

I’m Tura—a tutor trained in Castilian Spanish with a passion for helping students build confidence, master the basics, and speak with authenticity. I focus not just on grammar drills, but on the living language: accent and phonics, conversation, fundamentals, and the integration of history and culture that make Spanish come alive. My philosophy is simple: clarify concepts, build confidence, and nurture genuine communication while tailoring lessons to each learner’s needs.

I’m Tura—a tutor trained in Castilian Spanish with a passion for helping students build confidence, master the basics, and speak with authenticity. I focus not just on grammar drills, but on the living language: accent and phonics, conversation, fundamentals, and the integration of history and culture that make Spanish come alive. My philosophy is simple: clarify concepts, build confidence, and nurture genuine communication while tailoring lessons to each learner’s needs.

I hold a B.A. from the University of Colorado Denver and bring years of one-on-one tutoring experience with students of different ages and backgrounds. I’ve taught Spanish children English and English-speaking children and adults Spanish, giving me a strong foundation in cross-cultural and bilingual teaching.

I tutor Spanish at all levels, with emphasis on pronunciation, rhythm, and fluency. Because language is rooted in sound, I dedicate special attention to accent and phonics while also using authentic cultural materials—literature, music, film, and history—so students experience Spanish as a living tradition rather than a set of rules.

I also tutor English, supporting students in reading and writing skills from early phonics to advanced composition and creative expression. For bilingual and heritage speakers, I integrate both languages to strengthen confidence and expressive range.

Currently studying Portuguese, I bring fresh insight into the challenges of language learning and use that empathy to create supportive, engaging lessons that keep students motivated and growing.

Approved Subjects

Accent Reduction

Accent Reduction

Having grown up in a Spanish-speaking household while learning English as my first language, I developed a deep passion for the sounds and rhythms of both languages. This background gives me a strong ear for phonics, accent, and authentic expression, which I bring into every lesson. I love helping students discover the beauty of how words sound and flow, while also building confidence in grammar, conversation, and cultural understanding. My goal is to make Spanish approachable, dynamic, and rewarding for learners at any level.
Creative Writing

Creative Writing

I am a published poet with work in multiple journals, a chapbook, and a full-length manuscript currently in progress. I also co-founded and edit a poetry press, where I collaborate with writers to refine voice, structure, and creative expression. With over a decade of tutoring experience, I help students build confidence, develop originality, and sharpen their craft. I specialize in guiding students to express themselves with clarity and authenticity across poetry, fiction, and personal writing projects.
Linguistics

Linguistics

I have a strong background in linguistics with a focus on phonetics, phonology, and the music of language. Trained in Castilian Spanish and fluent in English, I bring a bilingual perspective that sharpens awareness of sound, rhythm, and meaning. As a published poet, I connect linguistics to the artistry of language—helping students see how structure, sound, and culture shape authentic expression. My approach blends analysis with creativity, making language study both rigorous and inspiring for learners at any level.
Spanish

Spanish

I hold a B.A. from the University of Colorado Denver and am trained in Castilian Spanish, with extensive knowledge of Spanish language, history, and culture. I have years of one-on-one tutoring experience, including teaching Spanish children English and helping English-speaking children and adults learn Spanish. My approach emphasizes fundamentals, accent and phonics, and conversational fluency, while integrating authentic cultural materials so students experience Spanish as a living language rather than just grammar rules. I tailor each lesson to the student’s goals and pace, helping them build confidence and communicate with authenticity.
Vocabulary

Vocabulary

I specialize in helping students expand their vocabulary in ways that strengthen both comprehension and expression. With over a decade of tutoring experience in English and Spanish, I teach vocabulary through context, word roots, and usage so students can recognize patterns and apply new words confidently. I also integrate reading, writing, and speaking exercises that make word learning active and memorable rather than rote. My goal is to help learners not only know more words, but also feel empowered to use them with precision and authenticity.
