In addition, I am a certified SAT prep instructor for The Princeton Review and can provide instruction in English grammar/writing/literary analysis.

Brief Bio: I am currently a Master's Student in History at the University of Oregon. I grew up in Southern California, went to college in New York City, and traveled throughout Spain and Latin America (mainly Chile, Argentina, & Cuba) before returning to the United States to earn my Master's degree in Spanish in 2013. I have worked as a Spanish teacher at the college and high school levels for nearly ten years, in addition to teaching private classes and tutoring. Previously I lived in Tacoma, WA, where I worked as a high school Spanish teacher at an International Baccalaureate School. Before that, I was a graduate student in Spanish at Princeton University, where I taught many courses as a graduate student instructor.

Fantastic Spanish summer tutoring!

My daughter needed some help with Spanish over the summer before her high school freshman year. She was switching to a new school, and some of the topics she needed to know for Spanish II hadn't been covered by her last school. I'm so grateful we had Lisa to help her prepare for the school year. I gave her a list of topics to cover, and Lisa was very organized in her approach. She kept me informed as she covered everything on the list. My daughter said she explained concepts very clearly and made sure not to go too fast especially with the more difficult topics. I know we will reach out to Lisa again if my daughter needs any additional help during the school year.

Knowledgeable and kind tutor!

Lisa has been teaching me history, language arts, and Spanish as well as SAT prep. She has always been my favorite tutor and is the best one we have come across. I see a change in my scores and she has always been a comforting and supportive teacher. I’m very glad I came across her as I wouldn’t have made it this far as a student! Thank you Lisa ❤️

¡Lisa es una gran profesora!

Like all our lessons she kills it. She is patient with me and corrects me when it matters most, but let’s me practice and get into a flow as well. She’s great! You can’t go wrong with her!

Patient, kind and very intelligent

We asked Lisa to come to our home to tutor our young son (age 6) who isn't always eager to learn. She quickly realized his learning style and began teaching him Spanish via games and songs. Our son was engaged for a full hour even after a long day at school. We are so thankful to have found such a thoughtful and kind tutor!

¡Lisa es una gran profesora!

The lesson was one of many to come, I hope. She is very engaged with my level, and has taken time to figure out where i need help and immediately began to challenge me in those areas. I am grateful for her personal attention. She has a passion for teaching and for spanish and it shows.

Great Tutor!!

My son has been working with Lisa for a little over a semester now and the results have been unbelievable! His confidence level in Spanish has risen 100% and has the grades to go along with it. Lisa knows exactly how to teach my son so that he understands!! Couldn't be happier!!

Help for Spanish 2

Lisa was very knowledgeable of the subject and a great teacher. She explained things in such a way that my son would remember. Very willing to cover all areas needed to get the student up to level needed to prepare for test. Lives her energy. I will definitely use Lisa again and again. Excellent 5 stars!
