About

I specialize in teaching english speakers to advanced speaking spanish speakers. I have studied for 2 years privately with Strommen language school while also living abroad in Mexico City and Madrid, Spain. I tutor students weekly for High School Spanish, College Spanish, and people who are interested learning spanish fluently.

I like to break down language in a way that is easy for students to understand and retain spanish clearly. Practice & patience is key.

I utilize standardized spanish grammar books while also assigning spanish tv shows & movies to engage ear training for the language.

I have studied accents and dialects in Standard IPA at California Institute of the Arts and can help students reduce their american accents when speaking spanish, while building up articulators for better pronounciation.

The best thing that I enjoy out of being a spanish tutor is seeing the progress my students make in speaking spanish. I believe it can help people open new doors and opportunities that they may not have otherwise had before. I am easy going and always looking for opportunities to help cultivate growth by giving constructive positive feedback. Anyone can speak spanish if they are willing to put in the work.

    Daniel was such a great tutor helping me get an A+ in my high school Spanish class. He explained things more clearly to me than my own teacher. Highly recommend.

    Frequently asked questions

    My process for working with new students is establishing what their goals are in learning spanish, assigning study workbooks and text.

    If the student is currently enrolled in a spanish class we would then review you're assigned class material and work to help you succeed in the class.

    For student who are advanced or are native speakers, we would go over workbooks to futher identify where the holes are in your knowledge of the spanish language and begin to work on them.

    I recieved my Bachelors of Fine Arts from California Institute of the Arts with my degree in Theater & Digital Arts.

    During my childhood I grew up in a spanish speaking household.

    I studied privately with teachers at Strommen Language School  for two years in Los Angeles to solidy my foundation in spanish speaking and grammar. 

    While studying with Strommen I studied abroad in Mexico City and Madrid, Spain to immerse myself in the culture and language.

    I started tutoring by teaching local kids and high school students spanish while in college. I would then translate daily for my job in marketing in spanish music.

    While studying at Strommen language school my teacher encouraged me to begin tutoring students in spanish.

    Eventually I started tutoring spanish students english while living in Mexico.

    I have worked with basic level spanish speakers all the way through native speakers who need to learn the grammatical foundation.

    I have also worked with english speakers who do not speak a lick of spanish. 

    I am very patient and caring and help students with a wide variety of needs. I have also helped students with down syndrome.
