I have tutored individuals of all ages from diverse backgrounds! My tutoring experience includes Spanish, English, ESL (English as a Second Language), test preparation, SAT Reading and Writing, grammar, chess, and more!

I learned Spanish at the intermediate level after visiting Mexico and Chile to broaden my horizons. I understand the challenges and rewards of learning a language, and I enjoy sharing what I have learned with others. I also earned my TEFL/TESOL certificate from the World TESOL Academy, so I am trained to teach English as a second language. I have a bachelor's degree in Computer and Information Sciences, and I worked in this field for 20 years in education and business settings. This experience allows me to give practical advice using real-world examples.

My students often describe me as a kind and understanding teacher. I will work patiently with you to reach your goals!

Russ B. is a fantastic Spanish Language teacher.

I would definitely recommend Russ B to anyone that is interested in learning Spanish. Spanish is a difficult language. The rules of Spanish grammar such as reflexive pronouns and conjugating irregular verbs can be tricky for English speakers such as myself. There also rules regarding accents marks that must be placed on certain places in Spanish verbs that must be spoken properly to convey the proper meaning to the listener. Russ is very good as explaining rules of Spanish grammar. He is very good at helping with Spanish pronunciation. If you make a mistake, he has the patience of Job to work with you until you get it right. He is also very reasonably priced. He has helped make a lot of progress with learning Spanish and can help you as well.

Fantastic Tutor

Russ is well organized and an enthusiastic tutor. I have never attended tutoring sessions that go by so quickly! we never run out of things to talk about. He is a planner, we review an extensive list of advanced vocabulary in Spanish every week and have personalized scripts that are both humorous and engaging. I actively remind Russ to continue creating scripts in countless amount of scenarios that we might encounter to get a feel for how these words are in exchanged within conversations. I have been taking lessons with Russ for a few short months and my grasp over my Spanish vocabulary has tripled, I see myself sounding like a native speaker in no time. The feedback that Russ provides is enlightening and straight to the point, Highly recommend anyone who is in the slightest intrigued to learn Spanish to book a lesson with Russ.

The ultimate trick to scrubbing hidden formatting on numeric data was he provided massively helpful and not one that appeared on any of the several Youtubes I had previously viewed.
