Bio

Welcome to a new school year! I hope that your student has a great year! To that end: a little help with Spanish studies may be just what your student needs to excel this year. If your student struggled in last year's Spanish class or is feeling uneasy about his/her new one, now is a great time to get help.

Welcome to a new school year! I hope that your student has a great year! To that end: a little help with Spanish studies may be just what your student needs to excel this year. If your student struggled in last year's Spanish class or is feeling uneasy about his/her new one, now is a great time to get help.

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 almost 4,500 hours of tutoring, and I have worked with 431 students from many states through Wyzant! I am also certified as a substitute teacher in Illinois, and in the spring of 2022 I 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.

I have worked with over 360 Spanish students from all over the country. I particularly specialize in helping failing students to completely turn around their performance in Spanish class, but I also work with students who desire to improve their Spanish grade from a good grade to a GREAT grade.

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!

Excellent and patient Spanish 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.

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.

Marianne has done a wonderful job helping my son with Spanish 4 — and moreover, took an immediate interest in correcting gaps in his knowledge. Not only have his grades improved, but more importantly, so has his confidence. I’m really grateful and we will continue our weekly sessions.
