About Alex
I grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area and graduated from Tulane University with a double major in Spanish and Latin American Studies. I am an engaging and effective tutor with training and years of experience. I have been passionate about Spanish, Latin American literature, and music for much of my life and I bring that same energy to the classroom every day.
I tailor my curriculum to meet each student’s goals and am able to accurately target my class with relevant activities. I most recently taught business English to corporations in Mexico City, and have spent years working with both students aged 12-18 and adults. I will work with you to establish an effective curriculum/course plan that meets your language learning goals.
I am patient and have training in proper correction techniques for both oral and written exercises. When teaching vocabulary or grammar, I first create a need so that my student is in a scenario where they naturally use the target language or grammar while speaking. I am well practiced in asking guided and leading questions to elicit productive responses. When I teach literature, I make sure my student is aware of the historical and literary context.
My students enjoy my classes as they are naturally discursive and participation-based. I rarely lecture, and check often for questions and comprehension.

I tailor each class to the students' needs and will always prioritize student conversation and interaction over lecturing. I have a lesson plan ready before each session and will usually start by emphasizing the target language of the day. I incorporate media and current events into my lessons. My students have fun in class, and as a result they learn faster and retain information better. I require maximum language production (whether written or oral) after first establishing comprehension.

Alex stepped in mid-semester to help my son, who has cerebral palsy, with his college Spanish Literature class. He was completely skilled in Spanish, was very familiar with all the readings, and adept at tutoring in a fun and engaging way. Alex was on time, responsible, and trustworthy at all times.
Alex would be a terrific tutor for any student -- from elementary school all the way up through college. He is enthusiastic, engaging, and very knowledgable. He gives his all and leans into teaching. Highly, highly recommended!View more recommendations
