Bio

Hi, I'm Ross! I hold a BA in Philosophy (3.8 GPA) and MA in Romance Languages (3.9 GPA). When I was at college I started a free Spanish class for adult learners and realized that I had a passion for teaching languages.

Hi, I'm Ross! I hold a BA in Philosophy (3.8 GPA) and MA in Romance Languages (3.9 GPA). When I was at college I started a free Spanish class for adult learners and realized that I had a passion for teaching languages. I was awarded the "Excellence in Teaching Award" from my local city council for the work I did with that class because it helped connect the English and Spanish speaking communities. Helping the students go from not being able to introduce themselves in Spanish to being able to explain complex topics was so amazing! I knew immediately that this was something that I wanted to dedicate myself to so I decided to study Romance Languages deeply (they are called Romance languages because they come from Latin, the language of the Roman empire, not because they're romantic!). I did a master's degree and then traveled the world living and working as an interpreter in Mexico, Italy and Portugal. Now I speak 5 languages: English, Spanish, French, Italian and Portuguese!

In the ten years that I've worked as a private language coach I've helped adults from all walks of life become fluent through a methodology that I developed during my academic studies and while I was studying languages myself. Due to my certification in Legal/Medical interpretation and my work as an interpreter I have helped many legal and medical professionals reach their objectives with languages.

My method is to adapt my teaching to the student's learning style and then focus on motivating the student to push their limits in the language. Learning a language is something that any person can do, they only need to be dedicated and consistent in their study routine. And that is exactly what I do as a tutor, motivate the student, give clear explanations for doubts and confusion, and help get rid of any anxiety the student may feel with the language learning process.

I offer a free 30 minute consultation to talk about your learning objectives and to create a plan to achieve those objectives. Send me a message today!

Organized, attentive and experienced tutor

Ross was the absolute best! I have learned so much in my time with him and am so looking forward to continuing my studies. He is so knowledgeable, always ready with a resource, and offers such lovely insight into any subject. A great conversationalist, even in a language I’m struggling to speak. I would highly recommend Ross to anyone looking to start learning or increase their language skills.

Andrea, 2 lessons with Ross

Great tutor with lots of resources and knowledge

Ross taught me the basics of Italian and walked me through the necessary vocabulary to get around in Italy. We focused on pronunciation, as well as grammar. It was very helpful to have someone guide me through the exercises and correct me when I am wrong, explaining my mistakes. Ross provided lots of materials (different textbooks) which made the lesson structured. He helped me challenge myself by reading short stories from lingua website, which was difficult at first but easier with practice. Definitely recommend him as a tutor to anyone interested in learning a new language!

Excellent tutor

Ross is very patient and down to earth and makes the learning experience enjoyable and straightforward. I get nervous with my French because I don’t use it as often as I would like to in the real world, but conversing with Ross I feel relaxed immediately and I always look forward to the course content. Highly recommended for relaxed, yet super efficient language learning.
