About

I am fluent in both Spanish and English. I have used my experiences as a public school language instructor, a one year immersion in Valencia, Spain, and have held many positions in the Boston medical community as a Spanish Interpreter. I use a variety of methods to help my students gain a basic comprehension of Spanish in 1 month. This level is useful if you are traveling to a Spanish speaking country. I lived as a foreign exchange student traveling throughout Spain, so I can assist people who will be needing a Level 2 comprehension of reading and writing Spanish. I can also prepare a person for employment requirements with a Professional Comprehension Level 3.

To pass on my knowledge to the person who wants to communicate in Spanish and feel confident by doing so. I have been speaking Spanish as a second language for 31 years. My appearance fools people, due to my strong Boston accent! This does not prepare people for my fluency, speed, and ease of speaking Spanish. I enjoy the surprise on people's faces when I begin speaking Spanish to them. Whether they are from Puerto Rico, Mexico, Central America, Cuba, or Spain, I can keep up, understand, and assist in interpreting either in fun social settings or serious professional situations. I can really make a difference by assisting in getting thoughts, information, and ideas communicated and understood between people. Making those involved feel good!

    Sean is so fluent in Spanish and has been working with me to prepare for my trip to Spain for months. I found his teaching style more interactive and quicker than Rosetta Stone which bored me to pieces quite frankly. He was so patient with me and I enjoyed every moment of our time together. I couldn’t recommend anyone more.

    Frequently asked questions

    I begin by assessing their skill level, and then see which approach might work.

    I graduated with a B.A. in Spanish from Framingham State College in 1995. I also spent a semester abroad from 9/93-12/93 in Valencia, Spain for college credits to count towards my degree. I then spent a year in Graduate School (also at the same college), and received my Certification in Foreign Language (Grades 5-12 in MA). I also have taught high school Spanish, and interpreted in both the public and private sectors.

    My fee is $40 for a 1 hour session.  

    I went to graduate school for a year, & earned my Teacher Certification in Foreign Language (Spanish). I did my student teaching at a high school, & then worked as a FT teacher at Westwood HS.

    I've worked with high school students and adults.

    My experiences and skills are what set me apart from other educators.
