I am a Spanish native speaker from Uruguay. I was an elementary school teacher before coming to the United States. I also taught Spanish literature in high school. In the US I got a PhD from University of Florida in Spanish Literature. I have taught in universities and colleges in this country for more than twenty years. As a tutor I worked with IB and Ap students. In Texas I helped high school teacher to prepare students for AP examination. I was also a grader for Advance Placement language and literature tests.

I like to help students advance their Spanish skills, improve their grades, and feel more self-confident. In each class I ask the students what their needs are, then I explain to them what my goals are for that day. I always give them options to insist on one aspect or another of learning so that they leave feeling that the class was worth it

I teach only remotely using Zoom or Google Meet. My goal is to offer excellent classes. I am always open to hearing opinions, suggestions or needs from students and parents. I answer the email quickly. I invite you to write and consult me.

Incredibly Excellent Tutor

Absolutely knowledgeable and very skilled in explaining material. Liliana is very patient, and makes sure you understand the material. You cannot go wrong with her!

Thank you, Sophie, for your words. It is not difficult with such an excellent student like you!

Incredible Teacher

I had the great pleasure of taking an intensive Spanish course with Liliana and without a doubt, I owe my ability to speak fluently to her. She is a dedicated and consummate professional, always willing to provide extra time and assistance. She is a true academic--you won't regret taking any type of class with her. I am now studying Spanish literature with her to continue my journey and I wouldn't choose anybody else as nobody else is more qualified.

Thank you, Kaitlyn! It is a pleasure to work with students like you, but let me correct something you said: you owe your ability to your own talent and dedication!

Excellent tutor

We just had the first lesson with her. Liliana is a great tutor, who prepares for the lesson carefully before the class. She explains concepts well and provides relevant exercises. Look forward to upcoming lessons.

Amazing, phenomenal, and so so patient

This semester of college I was taking Advanced Grammar in Spanish and I was struggling a lot. After receiving my first exam grade I realized I really needed help. Ms. Liliana reached out to me and told me she could help me. She was so amazing from the start and exactly the type of tutor I was looking for! She catered her lessons to what I was learning in college. She worked with the materials I provided and even included her own examples and material to further help me understand. She was always very patient and went over topics with me over and over again until I understood. She was also very accessible and was always quick to respond to any questions I had. I improved immensely because of her and it showed in my second exam. In the end I recieved an A in the course I thought I could never do well in. She is so good at her job!! I am forever grateful for her and everything she did to help me with Spanish.

An expert who's down-to-earth

Liliana is an awesome tutor. She is an expert in grammar, but doesn't go over your head. She explains things just enough so you know what's going on, but is very careful not to overwhelm you. I love how understanding she is. She doesn't put a lot of pressure on you to know or not know certain things. She just takes you where you're at and helps you get better. I'm an adult taking lessons just to improve my Spanish, and I love that she gives me activities to do but doesn't guilt me for not doing "homework", because I have a busy life! I have been taking lessons from her for a couple of months already and it's honestly one of the best decisions I have made! I am so glad I invested in tutoring to finally help me reach my goals of being more proficient in Spanish. It is totally worth it. Also, Liliana is super responsive to messages and always gets back to you right away if you need to contact her about something. She's very flexible and honestly great to work with.

Knowledgeable, patient, compassionate and very flexible

I had options of picking several Spanish tutors through the website and was so confused. I was looking for help for my son with AP Spanish. Finally I decided to go with Liliana as her message was so warm and she seemed so accommodating to my son's busy schedule. My son needed to do very well in this unit test and when I explained this to Liliana, she was right on board with the plan. My son took 3-4 session with her and he got an A in the test. More than just her dedication and knowledge about the subject, she is very compassionate and kind and was able to assess my son's strength and weakness in just one session and worked with him accordingly. I am SOO glad we found her as the Spanish tutor.
