I worked with the public schools system for 32 years. Graduated from NYU with a Master degree in Educational Psychology. I am not only a native Spanish speaker but I also have the college education in my mother tongue.

A good teaching process start with a good evaluation or assessment. In our first session I will evaluate your proficiency and learning styles.According to the results I will choose the best methods and strategies and will discuss it with you. All lessons will be within a context. Yes, drills are important, but they need to be meaningful. I will follow the Connecticut Standards for Foreign Language and will also incorporate cultural aspects of the different Spanish speaking countries.Lessons will include poetry, stories,jokes, music and who knows, maybe some dancing. All lessons will close with a discussion of new learning and follow up tasks for next lesson.

A true gem whose teaching experience and love of languages shines through!

I majored in Spanish in college, but I have lost some of my fluency over the years. I was searching for a conversation partner when I found Marisol. Marisol reserved a quiet room at the local library for us. She then gave me the most thorough and accurate language skills assessment test I have had since being placed at the Instituto Cervantes in Manhattan. She was immediately able to recognize my strong and weak points. Not only that, but she has since designed a curriculum to address my unique needs and interests. She sends me tailored homework assignments over email (everything from writing poetry to discussing true crime) that keep me immersed in the Spanish-speaking world when I am not in class. I would highly recommend Marisol, and I intend to continue studying with her.

Thanks Erica , you are an exceptional student and a wonderful human being

Phenomenal Teacher and Wonderful Person!

Marisol is not only a fantastic teacher, but she is also an incredible, caring person! She creates thoughtful, differentiated, and engaging lessons. My short time with her has already resulted in significant improvement in my Spanish. Marisol tailors her lessons each week to best support my learning, and she focuses on my areas of greatest need (speaking in particular). Her lessons cater to different learning styles through the use of visuals, music, podcasts, etc. She consistently gives positive reinforcement and praise, which I find very motivating. Our time together flies by, and learning with her is the absolute highlight of my week. She exceeds my expectations, and I feel lucky to be her student.
