Very Creative

Susan has been a pleasure to work with. She is very responsive and flexible with scheduling. My son is having difficulty in Spanish at school and Susan has found ways to tap into his learning style and preferences, and really help him learn the complexities of the language. She engages him in visual and auditory learning, not just textbook and worksheets, although she has also been able to effectively engage my son with the text as well. We have been very pleased and grateful that we have found Susan. She is helping to give my son a strong foundation in Spanish, which I am confident will allow him to build his skills as time goes on.

Knowledgeable and astute with assessment of different learning styles to meet my child's success in Spanish

She assess my son's learning style to make sure he was successful in Spanish. He is learning Spanish with the help from Dusam to help with reinforcement. Would highly recommend!

Knowledgeable and insightful as to the best approach to teach the student.

My daughter transferred schools and was placed in a Spanish 4 class however there was a big gap in her Spanish from her previous school. This gap resulted in my daughter failing. After she started working with Susan her grades are now A's and high B's. Susan knows how to relate to the students and let's them know they can be successful. I couldn't be more pleased!!

Best Spanish Tutor I Have Had

Susan is very dedicated to making sure you succeed and really understand the material, she is extremely pragmatic, flexible and patient. I was surprised and pleased when she began with a short survey to understand my learning style and how to best go about teaching me the material. She also made sure to take into account my personal goals and how to best make sure they get met. Absolutely Worth It.

Energetic, passionate, gets the job done

My 17 year old son said, "If I had had her as my teacher all along, I would have been doing great in Spanish and not needed a tutor!" She always gets back to me right away and I'm very thankful we found her.

Great experience

Susan did a great job connecting with my 15 year old son who was struglling in Spanish II and had a big test coming up. She identified his style of learning and adapted her lesson to him. My son's confidence level has increased as well.

Great help!

Susan has a way of using various teaching methods to stimulate the learning process. She does an amazing job of connecting with my son. His grade in Spanish has skyrocketed and he has a confidence in the subject that was not there before meeting with Susan.

Great 1st Lesson!

My 10th grader had her first lesson with Susan last week. Prior to the session Susan had an initial phone conversation with us to understand our child's focus areas for tutoring. She understood quickly what was needed. The tutoring session began with conjugation of verbs in the present tense based on a selection of visuals, which was followed by a review of preterit tense endings and drill of present to preterit tense before then taking the 50 visuals of verbs to create a story, which was then followed by a retelling of the story and the writing of the story as it was being told. My child remarked that she had never had as much sustained conversation in Spanish as during this initial session, supported by the visuals. She walked out of the session very confident. The next day in class, she reported back that she was able to converse with the teacher better than she had been the week before. In one 90 minute session with Susan she progressed. Additionally, my child is very picky when it comes to tutors, and is very shy. I peeked into the session once and my child was laughing and smiling, engaged, she walked out saying it was a great session. For a 15 year old to say that says a LOT about the experience she had. Most such sessions are "Boring" or a " a waste" or "I didn't learn anything". This was not the case with Susan's lessons. She is looking forward to her next session.

Incredible Results

My son has struggled throughout his entire Freshman year of Spanish 1, never getting higher than a C. As the end of the year approached, he had a D with only a couple of opportunities to improve his grade. After a couple of weeks of some intense tutoring from Susan he received 49 out of 50 on an exam. In the first session, Susan quickly realized why my son was struggling and came up with a plan to help him succeed. She is very accommodating with her schedule and has helped my son achieve results that he didn't think were possible. I highly recommend Susan!!!
