I am a NJ Certified Spanish High School teacher (Native speaker from Argentina). I hold a BA in Spanish Language, and a MA in Spanish Language and Literature. I've also studied Linguistics at Montclair State University, with a concentration in Second Language Acquisition.
I have experience teaching Summer College courses, and I am currently teaching advanced Spanish language and Literature courses in High School, one of them (AP) being part of Project Acceleration at Seton Hall University.
I am very well qualified and have experience as a teacher, both in my country and in the USA. One of my strengths is my patience, as well as adaptability to the needs of different learning styles, age and level of my students. I have also worked to develop curricula that meet the needs of students. I enjoy tutoring students, and help them build confidence in their ability to achieve language skills, both academically and socially. In addition, I have extensive knowledge of technology as it applies to language learning.

Soft spoken and pleasant

My son is enthusiastic about learning Spanish. He wanted to practice speaking with a native speaker and was very happy with the flow of the conversation. There was no stress or pressure on him, but only encouragement. Even though it was not a formal lesson, Sandra skillfully incorporated some teaching and adjusted her speech and vocabulary so my son felt comfortable and fulfilled.

Engaging Spanish Tutor

My children enjoy working with Sandra. Sandra teaches my children Spanish 2 and they seem to pick up quickly. She explains to them in such a way they would understand fast. Highly recommended.

Spanish Presentation, Conversation and Discussion Support

Great to have a native speaker guide and help in discussion. She was always prompt, thorough and professional in responding. Highly recommend her.

Sandra D.- Committed Tutor and Subject Matter Expert!

We are very fortunate that we connected with Ms. D. through WyzAnt for Spanish tutoring. My son is a 9th grader taking Spanish 2 (Honors) in school. He needed help and Ms. D. started tutoring him four weeks ago with great patience, kindness, and attention. She guided him with grammar, followed by writing. She also focused on my son's reading and comprehension efforts. She made sure that she reviewed the grammar rules with him each class. What impressed me the most is along with being a great subject matter expert, she is highly dedicated. She braved the sleet and the freezing rain and came to teach my son before his midterm exams. She truly cares for her students and helps them do well. My son says, "She is the best Spanish teacher that I have met to date."
