Hello and thank you for considering me as your Spanish tutor.

I have a Bachelor's degree in Spanish and have tutored Spanish for over 25 years to high school students. I adjust my tutoring style to meet the unique needs of each student and I spend between 1 to 2 hours between sessions, at no additional charge to you, to prepare for the next tutoring session. I am familiar with the typical testing styles used by high school Spanish teachers and I incorporate these formats into my practice materials in tutoring lessons. Since I come to tutoring sessions fully prepared, you will never lose precious time in sessions like you might with other tutors who are not as well prepared.

I use many different tutoring methods that help students learn from a variety of formats. I pride myself in keeping my instruction as simple as possible in order to help keep the student's focus. I am confident I can help your child improve in Spanish.

Best Tutor I have ever had

Holly is the best tutor I have ever had for my son. She is not only knowledgeable and patient, but also she cares your kid as you do. My son, a 9th grader in Spanish Honor 4 class at school, so far he had 26 lessons with Holly and we are satisfied with every single lesson. Holly prepared her lesson according to my son’s school topics, so my son felt confident in his school class. When I showed her my goal for my son to success in his AP Spanish Language and Culture test in his 10th grade, she immediately ordered an AP Spanish study book as teaching material for my son’s lesson. In school’s Spanish Culture Event, my son registered to present Spanish speaking culture in a poster, Holly helped him to find many interesting articles to read. In another time, my son needed to retake a quiz due to an unsatisfied initial score, but it had to be retaken in two days (before his next lesson with Holly). Holly sent us the instructions and exercises materials regarding the topics in that quiz for my son to review and offered for correction if he needed. Holly cares my son as I do, my son can already rely on her to have his back.

Patient and engaging tutor my daughter enjoys learning from.

Holly is a very responsible tutor whom we are satisfied to work with. She prepares the class material carefully before the class, making sure we are on track every time she teaches. My daughter enjoys her course very much. We are so excited to see a long-term improvement. Thanks.

Well prepared and professional

Holly came prepared with lesson plans and was professional, but also related well to my granddaughter and worked with her at a nice pace, making she understood the lesson before moving on.

An absolute GEM!

If you’re looking for a Spanish tutor, Holly is amazing. Our 10th grader who has had various tutors across multiple subjects on and off Wyzant tells me Holly is the best tutor she’s ever had. She is thorough, punctual and sincere in her approach to teaching.

excellent teacher

Holly is amazing! She is always well prepared and takes her time to find out what my son is learning in school prior to the lesson. She has helped my son so much! Trust me she is the most caring tutor anyone can find

Clear, Methodical & Patient

My son has had several lessons with Holly to date and is finding that unlike his teacher at school, Holly is intuitive about his challenges and responsive to them. She prepares each week's lessons ahead of time and at his request, gives practice and homework customized to his needs and with reference to where she (accurately) deduces the school teacher is at in terms of teaching textbook material. We are so grateful to have found Holly!

Excellent Spanish Tutor!

Holly is a terrific Spanish tutor. My son is relatively new to Spanish and Holly’s method and style are really helping him. Holly is patient and is able to explain concepts clearly. Holly is great! I would recommend working with Holly!

Wonderful Tutor!

Holly worked with my son over the summer to help him learn what he did not in Spanish 2 the prior year. Holly put together a curriculum, created and shared resource documents, provided homework assignments in advance, and worked with him twice a week to get him to where he needs to be to start Spanish 3 from a much more confident position. We are so appreciative of all of the time and effort Holly has put into this tutoring program over the summer, and we look forward to Holly continuing to provide support over the school year.
