I am a native of Lima, Peru with a Bachelor's Degree in Foreign Language Education (Spanish) (K-12) and a Master's of Education in Adult Learning-Secondary Education (Spanish). I also have a Bachelor's Degree in International Business. My expertise comes from teaching Spanish to Middle and High School students as well as teaching Spanish at the University level. I also have experience tutoring Spanish to Elementary, Middle, High School, and University students as well as adults. In addition, I have practical knowledge tutoring AP Spanish as well as tutoring students taking the International Baccalaureate (IB) Spanish Curriculum. Plus, I posses editing, proofreading, and translating skills.

My passion for teaching Spanish comes from enriching the lives of my students through language and culture. Throughout the years, I have been very fortunate to have worked with some great students who are now life-long learners of Spanish. Tutoring gives me the opportunity to make a difference in the life of those that need my help and I find this type of experience extremely rewarding.

My professional experience includes but is not limited to promoting the use of the target language inside and outside of the classroom by using real life context; emphasizing the usage of proper grammar and pronunciation of the target language, taking into consideration the linguistic and sociolinguistic capabilities and prior knowledge of each student; creating learning incentives that offer the students opportunities to think not only about the language itself, but also about the acquisition process; utilizing technology base activities that foster and improve language skills; and incorporating strategies and teaching styles that enhance and simplify the learning process while promoting cultural enrichment.

My schedule is flexible and I welcome the opportunity to help you achieve your goals, attain better grades, and become proficient and fluent in Spanish. I can meet in person or on-line. Look forward to hearing from you and GRACIAS!

Very experienced, personally tailors to your skill level and accommodates to your learning style

Paola is not only incredibly kind, compassionate, and interesting to talk to but also demonstrates her ability to tutor any student by determining your skill level, which style of learning suits your needs best, and providing resources that work best for your goals and schedule. I wish Paola could teach every subject, not just Spanish. She is the type of teacher who makes you fall in love with the subject, feel confident in the progress you are making and excited to come back and learn more. Paola is the reason I am eager to continue learning Spanish while appreciating the culture and prioritizing my learning goals. I am so grateful for Paola and any student would genuinely be lucky to have her as a tutor. I highly recommend Paola and am grateful to work with her.

Absolutely LOOOOOOVE Paola

I have been taking Spanish lessons with Paola since the end of October and from the very first lesson she made me feel like learning another language is attainable. She ensures that you have a strong foundation with the letter sounds before moving on to words and building vocabulary. I feel more confident reading Spanish a loud, and I am beginning to catch more words while listening to Spanish. Paola is always encouraging and provides feedback in a gentle way. I am soooooo excited to continue working towards mastery of Spanish!

Absolutely excellent and fantastic teacher!

I reached out to Paola to help my college sophomore prepare for her 1st Spanish exam for the semester. She was so patient and so understanding and made both my daughter and I very comfortable. Not only did she prepare her thoroughly for the exam, she also encouraged her throughout. After the exam, we retained Paola’s services for the rest of the semester. She met with my daughter 2x a week. She is an excellent, knowledgeable and very patient teacher. My daughter has absolutely loved all her tutoring sessions and has done very well in her Spanish class. Because of that, we will be using Paola again next semester. Thank you Paola for all your help, your patience and support this semester! We are deeply grateful. I highly recommend her tutoring services to everyone!

Knowledgeable and patient tutor

Paola took the time to help me with a podcast we received in school. We reviewed the content, applied the techniques the IB program would require of me for an oral discussion. She’s helping me so much and I greatly appreciate it!

Well Rounded Tutor for All Your Needs

I came to Paola hoping to improve my Spanish for my career. Within the first lesson, she devised a plan to help me reach my language goals. Paola is a patient and understanding teacher who is willing to meet you where you are. She gave me the confidence to speak more freely and the guidance I needed to reach my goals.

Great Tutor

I've been meeting with Paola for about a year now. She is helping me to improve my Spanish so that I can better communicate with my students and their parents. She is incredible at helping me alter my basic Spanish communication into a more professional manner of speaking.

Magnificent Maestra

I am currently taking online third year college Spanish. I will complete nine credithours over the summer. Paola, being a native speaker, has been a tremendous help. She is well versed in grammar, culture, and vocabulary. She has helped me build my confidence in speaking and listening. Paola is very patient and encouraging with her instruction. She is very prompt and timely in all her responses and is very flexible with her schedule. I would recommend Paola to anyone need help with reading, writing, listening, and speaking the language.
