Experience
I believe, as a Spanish tutor, that it is my job to help students learn both the intricacies of Spanish as a living language and more about the many Spanish-language cultures around the world. I want my students to get to know these cultures in depth, especially by reading works of Spanish literature. When a student chooses to learn Spanish, there is a practical reason. It is because the student intends to use this language in the real world, to discover new and different cultures. When I'm working with a tutoring student, whether in a group or individually, I assess what works for them and what doesn't, so they can get the most out of their time with me. I gauge whether students are able to derive personal enjoyment and meaning from the Spanish language works I give them to help them study. If they are not getting any benefit from it, I switch tactics. I have been an instructor at the University of Miami for five years, teaching Spanish and Literature. I tutor Spanish most often. However, I also help students struggling with literature questions, with the goal of helping to develop their critical thinking skills.
