Carrie, 49 lessons with BarbaraBarbara has taught Spanish professionally. She knows where students get hung up and confused and is able to teach these concepts. She shares additional handouts where appropriate to teach ideas not well explained in class or in the book. Because m son has a terrible Spanish teacher in high school, she is essentially teaching him the whole subject from scratch. He finally gets what is going on! She has good rapport with my teenage son and uses positive reinforcement. My son is doing very well...

Barbara has taught Spanish professionally. She knows where students get hung up and confused and is able to teach these concepts. She shares additional handouts where appropriate to teach ideas not well explained in class or in the book. Because m son has a terrible Spanish teacher in high school, she is essentially teaching him the whole subject from scratch. He finally gets what is going on! She has good rapport with my teenage son and uses positive reinforcement. My son is doing very well with her help and feels much better about school and himself. I highly recommend Barbara!
Carrie, 49 lessons with BarbaraTutor responded:Thank you Carrie!! It has been a joy to see how your son has improved. He is a wonderful student ' I am so glad that he has gain confidence . It is a true pleasure to help students succeed. So often confusion about a topic is not the student's fault and all it take is clarification . As a certified Teacher I love making a positive impact in a student's life. I have taught Spanish for so many years I can easily recognize areas where students need extra clarification and help provide tools to improve understanding. Spanish is a wonderful language; learning it can be a joy as well as a lifetime skill .
Thoughtful and thorough
We hired Barbara to help my daughter prepare for Spanish 3 in HS. She knew the curriculum well and was able to help her get up to speed to be ready in the fall. (She felt behind due to the crazy school year last year....) Highly recommend.

Very knowledgeable and patient tutor!
Barbara taught my son alphabet letter this time. She was very patient with him and always tried to find a way to help him focus in class. Overall, she is a great tutor!

Effective tutor. Looking forward to working with her regularly.
Barbara was able to see us in such a short time’s notice. She was able to adjust her schedule to meet us which was greatly appreciated. My daughter liked how she explained concepts and she left the lesson with more knowledge than prior to meeting with Barbara. We are looking forward to working with her in the coming weeks to improve my daughter’s grade in Spanish class. P.S. Barbara came prepared with books and materials ready which was a plus.

Tailored instruction
My daughter has been particularly impressed by how well Barbara has been able to understand her, as a learner. She has also been quick to determine both the gaps in my daughter's Spanish 3 knowledge, and the particular steps that will take her to the level of mastery required for success in Spanish 4. Thanks Barbara!
