About Brianna

Bio

I've been a college prep Spanish teacher for nearly 20 years. I discovered my passion for teaching and the Spanish language and culture when I was in high school myself and took a service trip to Nicaragua. Since then, I've traveled extensively throughout Latin America both for research and fun. I love being able to use the language to meet and learn from new peopl and sharing my passion and enthusiasm about Latin American history and Culture with others whenever possible!

I've been a college prep Spanish teacher for nearly 20 years. I discovered my passion for teaching and the Spanish language and culture when I was in high school myself and took a service trip to Nicaragua. Since then, I've traveled extensively throughout Latin America both for research and fun. I love being able to use the language to meet and learn from new peopl and sharing my passion and enthusiasm about Latin American history and Culture with others whenever possible!

My degree is a B.A. in both Spanish and Education Studies with a concentration in Latin American History. While I was formally trained in a teacher education program in college, I've become an expert in my field over the past 2 decades by practicing my trade, attending conferences, workshops, mentoring fellow teachers, and learning what works and what doesn't from my students every day!

I've taught all levels of Spanish from year one through Advanced Placement, and have been the lead teacher in the Spanish Department at my school. I lived in Guadalajara, Mexico where I studied and worked In my early 20s. Here I was able to immerse myself in Mexican culture first-hand and developed a near-native grasp on the language. I've also researched and studied extensively the history and literature of many countries in Latin America (though my expertise is in modern Latin America).

Whether you're a high school student who needs AP test prep for the Spanish Language & Culture exam, a student who needs a fluent speaker with which to practice speaking, or just in need of every day enrichment in grammar and/or verb drills to improve your Spanish studies in middle, high school or college, I am able to help you meet your goals!

Excellent Spanish Tutor

Brianna has been a terrific Spanish tutor for my 9th grader - her lessons are detailed and tailored to my child’s specific needs and weaknesses, and I am especially grateful for the detailed follow up notes after each class and the advance planning ahead of the next one. My child’s Spanish confidence has steadily grown in just a few weeks after working with Brianna. Thank you!

Knowledgeable & Effective

Brianna is incredibly knowledgeable and her engagement style holds my sons interest for the full hour. She is always prepared and even provides my son with advance material to help prepare him for their session. I can't recommend her enough and am grateful to have found her on Wyzant.

Smart, Patient, and Creative

Brianna connected well with my 15 year old who is struggling in a Spanish 3 honors class. She was super patient and very creative. My daughter said she was able to help her "connect things and make it click and stick". I am SUPER relieved and happy to see her feeling more confident in Spanish already!

Perfectly Tailored Lesson

Brianna curated a perfectly tailored lesson to my needs and wants. Her knowledge of Spanish is thorough and her ability to explain differences between some word usage in general and depending on country it is spoken in was great. I am looking forward to future sessions with Brianna to become more confident and knowledgeable in both listening and speaking.

Wish we found Brianna last year!

If anyone is considering a Spanish tutor, go no further. Brianna is professional, timely and a fantastic teacher. My daughter suffered a concussion and has needed a great deal of support in getting through the work. Brianna has helped her understand and complete the work better than if she was in the classroom. Thank you Brianna
