***I can provide documentation of my Illinois Teacher Certification upon request***

I have 11 years experience as a high school teacher. Currently, I am a Spanish teacher and World Languages Department Chair at a high school in Mundelein, IL. I have presented at several education conferences (where I train other teachers how to teach) such as NTPRS, CSCTFL Conference, Nice MiniCon, and Edcamp Lake County.

Whether you really want to acquire Spanish or you are parent who is simply trying to save your child from failing Spanish class, I am here to help.

Why choose me over other tutors?

In my own classroom I incorporate the latest research on how languages are acquired especially from experts like Dr. Stephen Krashen and Dr. Bill VanPatten. My students don't do verb charts, but actually learn to understand & communicate in Spanish. I use engaging and low-stress methodology such as TPRS (Teaching Proficiency Through Reading and Storytelling) & Comprehensible Input Strategies. These methods focus on building your understanding of the language in a relaxed way, which eventually will produce speaking skills. On Ratemyteachers students have said about my methodology: "He is funny and teaches in a new way. You don't even notice that you start to understand." A parent recently wrote to me: "My child has not had a very positive experience in Spanish in the past. Your teach style seems to resonate with him!"

I also love coaching students on which readers for beginners that they should incorporate into their Spanish study- so often it is hard for learners to find materials that are comprehensible to them.

While I love teaching people who actually want to attain proficiency in a language, I realize that life is busy, not everyone is necessarily that interested in learning a second language. I can also tutor high school students whose goal may be just to pass a course and get a solid grade! I know how how explain grammar and get you to ace that test!

Mary, 3 lessons with Gregory

Very friendly

I have been working with Greg for about 3 months and he is a very good tutor. He uses everyday conversation to help me learn new words and phrases in a natural way and encourages me to expand the learning process through other resources online and in the community. Greg is patient, friendly and always prompt. I would recommend him to any prospective student.
