WHY TUTORING WORKS

 

Spanish can become frustrating when a student misses an important concept. Vocabulary, verb conjugations, grammar, listening, reading, and speaking skills all build on one another.

Tutoring provides students with individualized instruction so they can strengthen weak areas, understand current class material, and become more confident using Spanish.

ONE-ON-ONE ATTENTION makes a difference!

Students often begin struggling with a new topic because an earlier concept was never fully mastered. I was recently working with a student taking Spanish level 3. I quickly discovered that she was having difficulty conjugating verbs into the preterite tense. Why?  She never mastered subject pronouns in Spanish level 1.  

Can you imagine trying to succeed in Algebra if you never mastered simple addition and subtraction? How frustrating! 

Individual tutoring makes it possible to identify those gaps and address them directly!

more than homework help

As a classroom teacher I always encouraged my students to study for 15 to 20 minutes every day.  When I asked my students how they studied, they often times said they just stared at their notes.  This is not effective or enjoyable!  

Tutoring may include reviewing class material, practicing concepts in a different way, identifying knowledge gaps, preparing for assessments, and developing strategies the student can use independently.

I will help your child to discover new methods of learning that are both enjoyable and effective!

Spanish tutoring can help a student who:

  • Is struggling in Spanish class

  • Has gaps or has fallen behind

  • Wants to improve a current grade

  • Is preparing for a quiz, test or exam

  • Needs additional practice with grammar or vocabulary

  • Needs extra practice with reading and writing skills

  • Wants more speaking and conversation practice

  • Is taking an honors or advanced Spanish course

  • Wants to become more confident
