About Marianne


Bio

It's 2026! Wow! We are already heading into the middle of March, but even now it is definitely not too late for your student to overcome struggles in Spanish class. With my help, he/she can gain the understanding that leads to the confidence he/she needs as a Spanish student.

I can help your student on Wyzant's awesome online platform, and after each session both you and your student will be able to watch the video of each tutoring session for up to 30 days after the lesson.

About myself: I love speaking and teaching Spanish! I am well into my 15th year of teaching Spanish as a private tutor with over 4,700 hours of tutoring, and I have worked with over 500 students from many states through Wyzant! I am also certified as a substitute teacher in Illinois, and I have taught full-time as a long-term substitute for Spanish I and III at a local high school.

About my approach: regardless of the curriculum used in the classroom I focus on building the student's confidence by laying a strong grammar foundation. I try to smoke out the learning gaps and then go to work on the missing concepts. Also each student will spend a large portion of each session practicing oral and listening skills. I will often ask my students to "teach" me a concept in order to solidify their understanding of a concept and to reveal their true level of understanding. Furthermore, I will challenge each student to become a true learner and to seek mastery rather than to simply learn enough to pass a test. I help my students to understand the WHY behind the grammar rather than telling them to do something "JUST BECAUSE". I will also direct all students to some of the best, interactive, online resources available today to aid their Spanish studies.

I will do all of this while communicating openly and regularly with each student's parent as appropriate.

Great teacher! Love her teaching!

We're two lessons in, and my daughter is absolutely loving the Marianne’s teaching style. Each session is very thorough and well-structured, incorporating essential skills like reading, speaking, and vocabulary building. The comprehensive approach is already proving to be super helpful and useful. Highly recommend!

Thank you, Jing! Your daughter is bright and eager to learn; so it's really fun to work with her!

Outstanding Spanish Tutor

We are extremely happy with my son’s Spanish tutor, Marianne. She doesn’t offer just general tutoring—instead, she focuses very precisely on his weak areas and works on them thoughtfully and effectively. We’ve seen clear improvement, not only in his skills but also in his confidence. She teaches with patience and grace, and we truly feel lucky to have her as his tutor.

Marianne did a great job of helping our son prepare for his test in high school Spanish 3. She was patient and took the time to determine where he was struggling and made the material understandable to him. I highly recommend her!

Very experienced

My son fell behind in Spanish 3 in high school and Marianne has jumped in to help him catch up. He says she's very knowledgeable of the curriculum and is teaching him things his teacher does not have time to teach because of class size. We're happy to be working with her.

My daughter had her first lesson with Marianne last night and we were very happy. She was able to jump right in and answered every question and issue my daughter had. We will be continuing with Marianne for sure!

La Maestra Mágica del Español / The Magical Teacher of Spanish

Marianne’s approach to delivering lessons is genuinely one-of-a-kind, seamlessly blending her engaging voice with phonetic nuances that make each session come alive. Marianne frequently addresses our son by his first name, which creates a warm and personal atmosphere. Marianne pours a tremendous amount of thought and effort into her teaching methods, and I genuinely appreciate that.

Thank you, Marlene! Your words mean so much to me! I want your son to not only excel as a Spanish learner but also be uplifted and empowered through our sessions.
