Spanish I love the language; secretly, I would like to forget how to speak English and spend the rest of my life speaking the language of Spain, South and Central Americas. I’m studying to be a Spanish teacher at the high school level, and already have experience in the Spanish classroom. Why spend time waiting for your tutor to figure out how to tutor? With me, we will work out learning at your YOUR pace, not the pace that best fits me. I’m flexible, like the language, and I don’t see any other way to tutor. I can help you with your current studies in another environment, like college or community classes, or I can directly be your teacher and you and I may one-on-one tackle Spanish.We’ll work out your learning style. No one should ever shy away from learning a language because it appears too hard. If they have, then they have yet to discover that unique learning style that helps unlock the secret of learning language. With me, we will work to figure out how Spanish and your brain come together. Every person is unique and I’m excited to help crack the Spanish puzzle with you; We’ll make a great team! English Grammar I love the study of grammar. For some reason, my mind works scientifically and I find the study of grammar to not only be fun, but a systematic way to improve my ability to learn and teach language. If you would like a session with me, we can cater our time to your needs. If you’re a tutor, we can examine what strategies work and don’t work, with regards to “prescriptive grammar,” properly advising students on their grammar. As a student of languages, knowing the framework of language can be an extremely beneficial element of your learning experience. I find that it’s most successful with students going on to their third language. We can work to tie together what you’ve already learned to make your third language easier. Or, if you’re an English speaker who wants to be more aware of his own language, we can do some activities to get you conscious of the English language machine.

Sean is a great teacher! I did an instant session with him and was amazed at how quickly he determined my level of Spanish. The lesson was so interesting, fun and I appreciated all of the themes he introduced in order to have me practice my grammatic expression. He has a fantastic personality and his command of Spanish is impressive. I will definitely schedule another lesson with Sean.
Wow what fun! Sean is fun and informative and works at my pace!
Very interesting, and helpful. I learned about the voseo verb form something that i never knew, looking forward to more lessons! i highly recommend him.
Wow, Sean is so articulate and really breaks it down for you so you walk away not only speaking Spanish better, but have a full comprehension to work with and practice with. He was awesome!!! I highly recommend Sean. He is excited and eager to teach yo
Sean is really personable and is great at thinking up good topics to discuss. It was fun!
Sean has such a passion about teaching, and he has his own inventive and fun way of teaching you stuff so it just makes the whole experience even more interesting.
Sean is an incredibly enthusiastic teacher who makes learning even the most boring grammatical structures seem interesting.
