Hola,
I am a licensed Spanish teacher for grades 7 through 12, and I would love to help you with Spanish--whether you are just beginning or in AP classes!

I learned Spanish, my second language, by living with a Spanish family in Valencia, Spain, and by studying at the University of Valencia for two semesters. Since then I have held teaching licenses in both Ohio and Arizona--precisely for teaching Spanish. Overall, I have a enjoyed a split career between classroom teaching, private tutoring and business experience (as a bilingual secretary in a Fortune 30 company's Latin American Manufacturing department). My business interface has also included conducting Spanish classes to select employees for two global companies.

Thanks to the internet, I invite the world into our lessons! You will benefit from the many websites (with audio) that I will acquaint you with. These sites may introduce the new skills that you seek or they will provide you with extra practice to hone in on skills that you have learned but find difficult.

So, when would you like me to start helping you improve your progress in Spanish? I am ready when you are!

Approved Subjects

Elementary (K-6th)

Elementary (K-6th)

I am in my third year of employment with a Learning Center that addresses learning gaps in the three Rs--"Reading, 'Riting and 'Rithmetic." This means that I work with elementary students on a regular basis. What learning gaps does your child need to address? I have a lot of energy and know-how! Just tell me what you need!
English

English

Is English your native language, but your writing skills are not "cutting it"--despite use of MS spell-check? Fret no more!! I can help you improve your written communications so that you are clearly understood and begin getting the response you need from your audience.
ESL/ESOL

ESL/ESOL

I love making the world a little smaller everyday by helping everyone learn the English language! I am currently specializing in ESOL as part of my pursuit of a Masters of Education degree. I have worked with 6 students so far--two of whom are adults. It brings me great joy when my students actually begin speaking in English by choice--and using complete sentences rather than one-word responses. I utilize over a half dozen online resources to teach ELLs to speak American English, and every lesson includes laughter and smiles--universal language!
Grammar

Grammar

Yes, grammar may be a necessary evil, but people do "judge books by their covers"! So, don't let your boredom with the endless rules stand in your way. I will help you write concisely yet impressively, and avoid common grammatical and spelling errors that MS Spell-check misses!
Reading

Reading

Reading has many facets that might influence the tutor's approach. Is the student struggling with phonics, comprehension, or fluency? As the tutor, I will seek to meet the student at the point of her need--whatever it may be. For example, if comprehension is a problem, I would remind the student to self-regulate their reading by asking themselves if they understand what they are reading or whether they need to go back to find out what they missed. Whatever the case, reading is truly foundational to all learning and should be elevated to the highest priority issue for resolution if it is a stumbling block.
Spanish

Spanish

I am here to support your efforts in learning conversational Spanish for school credit or for traveling on business or for pleasure. Using the textbook you already have, or lesson plans that I develop myself; I will build your vocabulary, help you understand verb conjugation, and enable you to gain cultural insights--while having fun! I am a certified high school Spanish teacher, and I also have served as a bilingual secretary in a large corporation. Besides tutoring high school students, I have also worked with two executives of a small local company to teach them Spanish, and I have taught group classes to adults.
Writing

Writing

Is English your native language, but your writing is not fluent and accurate--despite use of MS Spellcheck? Fret no more! I can help you improve your written communications so that you are clearly understood and begin getting the response you need from your audience.

High Schooler finally GETTING IT!

Cheryl is very communicative with me (the parent) and keeps me fully up to date on the tutoring sessions and how my high schooler is progressing. Although initially reluctant about having a tutor my HSer now is engaged with Cheryl's lessons. Cherly seem's to get to the root of the problem and understands how to engage and build the skills. I'm glad we've found her!

Knowledgeable and quite patient

Cheryl will prepare things that she would like our child to work on after and before the next class. She would provide feedback after every class session. She would work with the child’s present conditions and happenings to incorporate study in a fun manner. We are happy with her and would recommend her to other parents looking for Spanish tutoring

Deepna, 4 lessons with Cheryl

Great Tutor

Our experience with Cherly is that she is intuitive. She realized right away that our child was a bit tentative about speaking Spanish, however, by the end of the lesson, she was able to draw him out. No doubt, she's an experienced teacher. Additionally, she provided excellent feedback after the lesson.

Cheryl is an Amazing, Caring, Patient, knowledgeableResourceful Tutor

Hi Cheryl, Ron, my husband and I felt that you are such an honorable and honest person. We were so glad that we chose you as our daughter’s tutor. As a Tutor, you show concern for your students and always on top of all the assignments. We were truly delighted that you sent lesson plans and worksheets prior to each lesson. Thank you for taking such interest in your students. My daughter enjoys learning from you and is constantly commenting how she loves learning from you. We appreciate you! Thank you for what you do for our daughter’s growth. Thank you Ravi Culbertson

Knowledgeable and flexible

This is the second semester Cheryl has helped my son with his HS Spanish 3. She is familiar with the text book and waste no time helping him understand the lessons. Since my son began working with Cheryl, his grade and comprehension level have improved. She is engaging and finds a way to help him in the most efficient way possible, even when his schedule doesn't always permit.

Deidra, 21 lessons with Cheryl

Awesome Spanish Tutor

Cheryl teaches Spanish Honors I for my 9th grader. She is a wonderful teacher who has been very patient in guiding my son in his school curriculum. His grades have improved significantly and he looks forward to her classes each week. Cheryl is very knowledgeable in Spanish and is able to adapt the content based on the needs of the student. She provides a detailed summary after each session highlighting the material covered, the gaps to be addressed and next steps. Our son has now gained confidence in the language, thanks to her efforts. We consider ourselves lucky to have found her after trying out a few other Spanish teachers. We highly recommend her without any reservation.
