Hi! If you are looking for a tutor or teacher to help you with Spanish, I would enjoy helping you work with the language.

I am a lifelong learner who loves to teach. My last degree was a master's in education, October 2024. I have a post-baccalaureate in Spanish from the University of Washington. Studies abroad in various countries have helped connect cultural understandings of language with grammar and spoken Spanish.

I have spent a significant amount of time along the Pacific and Atlantic coasts of Mexico. This has included the ability to live in a home in Yelapa, Mexico and read to children in Spanish, in the library. I have had the luck to travel to many other Spanish speaking countries. Education includes Montessori training for Adolescents from Houston Montessori Center and I have taught in both public and private schools over the last twenty plus years. My experiences range from 18-month-old students to retired, life-long learners. I look forward to meeting you!

Sharilyn is a great English teacher for young children

Sharilyn has been a wonderful English tutor for my kids. Over the past few weeks, she’s shown great patience, warmth, and professionalism in every lesson. She created a fun and engaging learning environment that help my children feel comfortable and motivated to learn. We’ve seen noticeable improvement in their language skills, and they always looked forward to their time with her. We are truly grateful for her support and would highly recommend her to any family looking for a caring and effective English tutor.

Patient tutor for our family

Our family of three, including our preschooler, has been learning conversational Spanish with Sharilyn, and we couldn't be happier! Sharilyn is fantastic at tailoring lessons to meet the needs of both adults and a young child. My husband and I had a little background in Spanish, and she managed to create a learning environment that works for us while also keeping our little one engaged.

Learning Spanish is an exciting adventure with Sharilyn!

We had a wonderful beginning looking at the verbs and at some flash cards. I am so very excited to be working with Sharilyn. She is a wonderful tutor.

Tutor responded:

Thank you! It is what I love in my heart. I feel lucky to have stumbled upon a skill I didn't know I had, when I wasn't looking for it, 14 years ago, post college. Becoming bilingual has brought me to some of the greatest places and people I know, and I believe will continue to do so!

Has strengthened my daughter's Spanish

Thanks for working so hard with my daughter. She has brought my sophomore daughter's Spanish grade from a C+ to a B+. Thank you.

Exceptional, enthusiastic Spanish tutor!

I highly recommend Sharilyn to anyone seeking a Spanish tutor. I am in my early 50's and have had many teachers and tutors in my lifetime and she is one of the very best. She is an extremely bright and accomplished woman, highly educated with a natural gift and passion for languages, yet she is warm, encouraging, approachable, and friendly. If you work hard, you will progress quickly with her. She uses a variety of teaching tools to keep your interest peaked in the lesson and she is very open to what and how you want to learn---she is great at individualizing the teaching. She has augmented our lessons with various books, including poetry (a passion of mine), Spanish magazines and newspapers, BINGO games when learning the numbers (great fun!), magnetic word games, etc...She has an infectious love of Spanish and has lived in Spanish-speaking countries and is completely fluent. She is very patient, energetic, reliable, fun--laughs and smiles a lot. My one-hour lessons whip by quickly always. I especially like how she works with what YOU want to cover and she is very open to you selecting the materials you're most comfortable with. I have worked with Sharilyn nearly seven months now and couldn't be more pleased. The lessons have added something fun and challenging and enriching to my life, and have broadened my understanding of a culture rich in history, poetry, art, music, and dance--a culture quickly blending with my own.
