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.

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!

Fantastic Tutor

I recently started learning Spanish again after taking a few years off, and Paola has helped me so much to re-learn speaking skills and grammar. She is very patient and I would recommend her to anyone looking to learn Spanish.

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.

Excellent, Knowledgeable, Dependable, Focused. Knows how to Simply the Spanish Language Excellent, Knowledgeable, Dependable, Focused. Knows how to Simply the Spanish Language

If not for my tutoring sessions with Paola, I would not have graduated this semester. I was required to take and pass two college level Spanish language courses to graduate. I did not understand the material and knew I was in big trouble. Plus, I have ADHD so I didn’t have much hope for myself. I knew it was unlikely that I would pass these courses without tutoring. Enter Paola, I was impressed with her Wyant reviews so I thought I would give her a try. Well, she did not disappoint me, she exceeded my expectations. She is an excellent tutor I would highly recommend. I give Paola 5 out of 5 stars because that is the maximum star rating allowed by Wygant’s rating system. Otherwise, the number of stars number would be higher! Paola first assessed what my goals were and asked when I needed to accomplish them. I was blown away with her command of the Spanish language and her ability to communicate and simplify concepts I could not grasp before. Here style of tutoring is effective, supportive and focused. She was always very reliable and timely. If I had a sudden deadline and needed to meet with her, she would try and find a way to fit me in for a tutoring session. Paola was extremely patient with me, and where I was in the learning process. She seemed to know how to address my weaknesses. She had at her fingertips, one-page Spanish guides that helped me exactly when I needed them. She exposed me to different Spanish language resources and how to find out and check my congregation of the Spanish language (verbs) on my own. Paola has a calm and soothing approach to tutoring. She would congratulate me on every milestone; I achieved which gave me the self-confidence I needed to successfully learn the language and pass my Spanish classes. If you choose Paola, you won’t regret it. Her services are worth every penny. My only regret is that I didn’t find Paola sooner.

Excellent for Adult Learners

As an adult I've been working with Paola on my listening comprehension. Along the way she's picks up on other shortfalls in my usage and we work on those too. She's very good with online resources for use between lessons and very patient in the lessons themselves. Would highly recommend her for adult learners.
