I’m a native speaker of Spanish. I’ve been teaching for more than 20 years; I love to teach and I love to learn. I’m an experienced instructor with knowledge of principles and methods for teaching both children and adults. I’m very committed and organized. I’m currently pursuing another degree in college. As a High Honors Graduate Student with a GPA of 4.0, I understand how important it is to adapt teaching methods to meet students’ needs. I enjoy instructing, discussing, and practicing lessons. I like to establish and communicate clear objectives for lessons.

I’m currently teaching Spanish for bilingual kids in a special program supported by the University of Michigan. In this program, I help develop academic skills for bilingual children, and teach mathematics and Science units in Spanish. I enjoy seeing how satisfied my students are with their achievements. I assign homework after every session. As a native Spanish Speaker, I have the knowledge and the experience to help in any individual’s needs; I can help with school assessments, Spanish as a second language, or if someone is traveling to a Spanish speaking country and needs just the basics.

In the hospitality area, I have a Serve Safe certification, and I have translated the course for a native Spanish speakers in order for them to pass the course and obtain the certificate.
I have a flexible schedule and I offer lesson packages at a discount.

Personalized tutoring at its finest!

I've always wanted to learn a language but was hesitant because I was afraid of sounding "dumb" when I practiced. Monica has completely taken that fear away. She's very patient and encouraging. She has managed to break down words and even sounds to a level I can finally understand and replicate. Monica also comes prepared with practical exercises and vocabulary tailored to not only what I am having trouble with, but also what I'm interested in learning or talking about. If you want a tutor that will focus on you and your specific needs rather than taking a cookie-cutter approach. Look no further. You found her.

Knowlegable and patient tutor.

Monica taught me the difference between regular and irregular verbs as well as tenses and conjugations. She did a fantastic job! I’m looking forward to our next session.

Flexible, smart, great to work with!

Monica comes prepared with a lot of supplemental materials to help students master Spanish grammar at all levels. She is very flexible and always is willing to let me guide the lesson according to what is important to me that week. She also is incredibly helpful to me in determining what "real world" Spanish sounds like and how to show proper etiquette within Latin American culture.
