I am a college professor with over ten years experience tutoring English, writing, Spanish and the humanities. I have taught Spanish and Literature at Lesley University; Spanish and College Writing at Wellesley College; and currently teach Spanish and Expository Writing at Harvard University. I also have taught high school Spanish and ESL.

I also am a professional writer and translator of literature from Spanish to English.

I tutor because I enjoy working with students and helping them to turn challenges into chances for growth and self-discovery. I recognize that every individual has a unique learning style, and I tailor my lessons to each student's distinct needs.

I learn so much from my tutoring clients about determination and the value of knowledge-- something that we own for a lifetime and can pass on to others. I try to share my love of learning with my tutoring clients, and find myself learning right alongside them.

Our tutoring relationship is a partnership and a shared experience, one which I value as an educator and as a fellow life-long learner.

Excellent Tutor

Our daughter has had a great experience with Eileen as her tutor and has improved tremendously. Eileen is very thoughtful and thorough and has made the sessions enjoyable. Eileen has made herself accessible for homework help. Our daughter has increased her grades in Spanish and English in one term and has most importantly increased her confidence. Eileen is also very flexible and easy going when it comes to scheduling lessons. Eileen is an intelligent and personable tutor and we would recommend her to anyone who is looking for a tutor!
