About Brandon

Bio

My name is Brandon D. I'm Wyzant's #1 Spanish Tutor based on hours, ratings, and feedback combined. It is the only subject that I teach. I love helping someone who feels like they can't learn the language to gain confidence in themselves that they can learn it, and then do it. I'm 36 years old (17 years teaching and tutoring experience with clients ages 4-78) and graduated with a Bachelor's Degree in Spanish from Weber State University in Ogden, Utah with Departmental Honors in Spanish.

My name is Brandon D. I'm Wyzant's #1 Spanish Tutor based on hours, ratings, and feedback combined. It is the only subject that I teach. I love helping someone who feels like they can't learn the language to gain confidence in themselves that they can learn it, and then do it. I'm 36 years old (17 years teaching and tutoring experience with clients ages 4-78) and graduated with a Bachelor's Degree in Spanish from Weber State University in Ogden, Utah with Departmental Honors in Spanish. I taught adults at a private college (OWATC) for two years. I took Spanish in junior high and high school. I became fluent in speaking, reading, writing, and translating while serving a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Mexico for approximately two years by listening to the Mexican people, sharing religious beliefs and eternal truths, translating, studying, and applying new knowledge immediately and frequently. I lived/visited, served, and learned in La Cruz de Elota, Ceuta, El Dorado, Costa Rica (city), El Dorado, Tanques, Escuinapa, Mazatlán, La Paz, Culiacán, Chilillos, and Rosario, Sinaloa for a total of 1 1/4 years. I also lived and served in San José del Cabo and Cabo San Lucas for another 7 1/2 months. The life lessons that I learned with the Mexican people are priceless and some of the most valuable lessons I have ever learned. I am and will be grateful and blessed forever from experiencing and learning the Mexican culture.
I love tutoring with Wyzant because I can focus on and cater to the needs and life of my students at their pace and teach exactly what they want to learn. I also like to help my students use the language in real-life situations when they are ready, to boost their confidence, knowledge, and experience using the Spanish language. It is a privilege to help my clients achieve their educational goals, whatever they may be. I am eager to meet you interested clients! Please contact me soon to get started!

OUTSTANDING TUTOR A+++ (seven star)

If I could give Brandon a Seven star rating I would have. My son almost failed in his sophomore Spanish test and Brandon salvaged him from there in just a couple of hours and he was able to get a A grade in his final test next day. This tutor has the most amazing personality and presence, very funny, witty and energetic and above all he knows what's he's doing. He was punctual and very proactive with the course material and had everything ready for the finals. I'm so glad I found him. My son is very happy with his style and method of tutoring.

Shailaja's son just aced the National Spanish Exam for Level II! Congratulations!

Great Teacher, Very Enthusiastic!!

My son has used Brandon a lot as a Spanish tutor and he is truly helping him. He does not mind having to teach the material until my son understands. He is always available when we need him the most.

Great Teacher, Very Enthusiastic!!

My son has used Brandon a lot as a Spanish tutor and he is truly helping him. He does not mind having to teach the material until my son understands. He is always available when we need him the most. He has helped my son go from not understanding anything and hating the class to understanding the material and succeeding. I ham SO thank for his knowledge of the subject, the positivity, and the willingness to meet him where he needs to be met in the subject. COVID has really been hard on the education of our students and Brandon has made this so much better.

Amazing Tutor

My son is a sophomore in high school and was struggling in Spanish II this last quarter. He was making D's and C's on his quizzes and tests. After several sessions with Brandon, his understanding and his grades improved significantly. He made an B and an A on the next 2 quizzes and on the next test, he made a 101. You cannot get any better! It is definitely due to Brandon's help, great teaching skills and fun personality! Thanks Brandon for all your help!

Great Teacher, Very Enthusiastic!!

Brandon was such a big help to our son. He worked with him until he understood the material. He was absolutely amazing! We will definitely use him again.

Great Teacher, Very Enthusiastic!!

Brandon helped our son so much in an hour! By the time the hour was up he had learned more than he had all year! He was AMAZING!! We are going to schedule him again! My son missed Spanish 1 instruction for the last 12 weeks of school thanks to COVID last school year. His Spanish 2 teacher did not begin where they left off in Spanish 1, he began where they would be in a normal year. That left a lot of holes, that Brandon was able to fill. He gave him some amazing tips to help when our son takes his test and learn the Spanish language.

Spanish tutoring

Brandon is definitely the best Spanish tutor you can find. He is well knowledgeable in the language, and is great at teaching the language. To top this off his pricing is more than fair for all the help he gives you in each session. Would highly recommend to anyone who needs help with Spanish.

Brandon was easy to get along with and very passionate with teaching and helping you learn. He is the best tutor I have ever had and wish I could give him more than 5 stars. Look forward to many more sessions with him.
