Spanish, Public Speaking & Acting Tutor

Gladys P.

I am a bilingual educator, working actor, and communication coach with more than 25 years of experience in performance, language, and public expression. I am in the process of getting a graduate degree and have designed and delivered curriculum in both academic and professional settings. My background includes creating and teaching a public speaking curriculum for PhD candidates, privately coaching actors in audition technique, and tutoring students in Spanish language acquisition and exam preparation. My work bridges technical skill-building with confidence development, because communication is more about clarity, presence, and ownership than just content.

In Spanish tutoring, I work with middle school, high school, and adult learners in one-on-one settings, helping them strengthen grammar, conversational fluency, listening comprehension, and test performance. As a native Spanish speaker and lifelong communicator, I focus on building both linguistic accuracy and confidence. I adapt sessions to each student’s learning style, using structured review, real-life conversation practice, and targeted homework support. My students often improve not only their grades, but their comfort and ease in using the language.

In public speaking and acting coaching, I draw from decades of professional performance experience in theatre, film, and television. I have taught audition technique to aspiring actors and coached graduate-level students on presentation structure, delivery, and audience engagement. Whether working with teens preparing for school presentations or doctoral candidates defending research, I emphasize preparation, storytelling, breath control, vocal clarity, and authentic presence. My approach is supportive but rigorous. I create a space where students feel safe to take risks, receive actionable feedback, and grow into stronger, more confident communicators.
