Bio

My love of the Spanish language began when I was very young growing up with many Hispanics in my neighborhood. I became very fascinated with how my friends were able to communicate in two languages with their family members and with others. I became even more interested and curious when I began taking Spanish class in 8th grade and then continuing on in high school and all throughout college. My interest peaked when I studied and lived in Mexico, Spain, and Costa Rica, therefore enabling me...

My love of the Spanish language began when I was very young growing up with many Hispanics in my neighborhood. I became very fascinated with how my friends were able to communicate in two languages with their family members and with others. I became even more interested and curious when I began taking Spanish class in 8th grade and then continuing on in high school and all throughout college. My interest peaked when I studied and lived in Mexico, Spain, and Costa Rica, therefore enabling me to become a fluent speaker of the Spanish language as well as learning more about the culture and its literature. I have also traveled to Puerto Rico 6 times!

I hold a Bachelor's Degree in Spanish with a minor in Latin American Studies. I have tutored Spanish for over 16 years and have also taught in the classroom, but prefer the tutoring setting. One of my goals is to keep the student challenged, but not overwhelmed. I assign challenging homework after each session. I believe we work as a team together to help you accomplish your goal. I have helped many students realize their own potential and saw their grades and test scores improve. I believe in giving students the confidence to succeed.

While I try to be flexible with time. I have a 24 hour cancellation policy.

I like to have a quiet and comfortable study space in which to work with. I prefer a library, but if that is not possible, I request a quiet place perhaps in the student's home, free of distractions and interruptions, and without television.

I look forward to hearing from you and helping you achieve success in learning the Spanish language!

Absolutely Wonderful!!!

Ms. Ginny is a wonderful tutor, she helped me learn Spanish from the ground up and I couldn't be doing my class without her. I was very concerned about taking this class because I was afraid I wouldn't pass it, but I know for certain I will do wonderfully thanks to Ms. Ginny. She is a very patient, kind and knowledgeable teacher. She explains everything in a very simple manner, she is incredibly patient as well, she doesn't get frustrated if I don't understand it initially, instead she will walk me through whatever it is I don't understand. I highly recommend Ms. Ginny for Spanish tutoring.

Excellent tutor!!

This is my second Spanish session with With Ms. Virginia and I have already learned so much!! I look forward to learning more! Not only is she knowledgeable, friendly, and patient; but, she is also thorough in her approach. She ensures that I fully understand the topic before moving on. I already feel more confident in terms of my Spanish proficiency. And I would highly recommend Ms. Virginia’s tutoring to any Spanish learner!

Great teacher

I have been attending Spanish tutoring sessions with Virginia for some time now and it has really helped. Virginia had some great tips to help me remember the material better and is a very warm-hearted person. What makes the sessions even better is her sense of humor. I’m always shocked when one hour is up because it really feels like it’s only been five minutes. If you are looking for a Spanish tutor, i would definitely recommend Virginia.

Ginny is knowledgeable and patient

One session so far. It went well. My daughter needed help with her Spanish 3 high school class. She loves learning from Ginny! Ginny is knowledgeable and patient.

Very knowledgeable of the Spanish language.

Virginia knows as well as any native speaker the nuances of the Spanish language. This is much better than just textbook learning as it will actually prepare you for real conversations with native speakers.

knowledgeable and focused on my specific needs

I'm an adult learning Spanish for work. Virginia has done a great job focusing on my specific Spanish needs. When she introduces new vocabulary and grammar rules she also provides examples of how I might use the words or grammar rules in my work. In this way, each week, I learn new material that I can immediately begin using. Virginia has also been patient and kind as I make mistakes and learn new information.

Great tutor

Very kind and knowledgeable teacher. Pleasant conversation. We met at a library and she helped me with a Spanish novel I'm reading. We broke down both basics and more difficult material. Would highly recommend.
