Fabiola

1st Grade ELA (in Spanish) Tutor • +15 Subjects

I have been a teacher for over 25 years. However, my experience does not hinder my enthusiasm for the learning process. I believe each individual learns when he/she feels comfortable. This allows for mistakes to become stepping stones on the way to mastery and I'm here to guide through each individual process with positive reinforcement, a dash of humor and fun interactions. My passion for learning is echoed in my teaching style. I am a life-long learner and have traveled through Europe, Asia, and Latin America. I have significantly grown through my time living in Bolivia, Italy, Nepal, and Mexico. These international posts gave me the opportunity to expand my cultural knowledge and be more open-minded. I strongly believe that we all, regardless of our age or background, continue to evolve not only academically but also in our day to day interactions with each other and with our surroundings. I enjoy reading, yoga, painting, meditating, hiking, dancing, and drawing.

Harsh

1st Grade ELA (in Spanish) Tutor • +32 Subjects

I am a sophomore at the University of Georgia working towards a degree in Finance B.B.A. During my time at UGA, I was accepted into the Terry College of Business and joined its Finance Society. A big part of who I am is service. I have continued my passion at UGA by joining ServeUGA, a community service organization dedicated to helping the Athens, GA community. Also, I became a part of UGA HEROs, an organization that raises money to improve the quality of lives of children affected or infected by HIV. My Prior tutoring experience was at Darlington boarding school, which had dorms that housed its boarding students. I assisted with study hall, where students devoted 2 hours of their time to their school work. They were allowed to come to me for help with their homework if they needed it. I was especially efficient in helping students in Math, English, and Spanish. While this was not technically a tutoring position, I still gained experience when it came to assisting my peers with their course work. Also, I was part of the Spanish club, and members had an opportunity to assist students from both our high school and our middle school with their Spanish classes during school hours. I would receive an email from a student, and we would work out a time to meet and work together. When it comes to tutoring, I try to get a sense of the learning style to best help the student. I also try to provide positive assurances to help motivate students and continue to learn. I enjoy watching sports, exercise, reading, and cooking.

1st Grade ELA (in Spanish) Tutor • +15 Subjects

Hi, my name is Ms. I. Marrero. I am from San Juan, Puerto Rico. I graduated with a Master's degree in education in Spanish. I have been teaching Spanish as a foreign language for thirty years. I am a very flexible teacher, ensuring every student's learning style and abilities are addressed. I like teaching conversational Spanish, vocabulary, grammar, and writing at all levels. I enjoy giving classes with daily everyday topics or the basics needed. The best way to learn a foreign language is with a native teacher without an accent and who knows and practices an up-to-date language. What I most enjoy about being a teacher is when the students understand and use the Spanish learned in the "real world." So, you will speak Spanish as well as you will learn how to carry out a conversation.!Hasta pronto!

1st Grade ELA (in Spanish) Tutor • +50 Subjects

I graduated from Nova Southeastern University with a Doctorate in Education in Distance Learning and Instructional Technology. I also have a Masters Degree in Special Education, specifically in Administration of Early Intervention Programs, from the University of Phoenix. At Bachelors level, I studied Visual Arts and Teaching English as a Second Language. CuTeacherrrently, I'm a certified Bilingual and Spanish from the state of Texas. I have taught at all levels: from PK to university level. In addition, I have trained and work as a coach for other teachers. I've also taught adults that want to become better English/Spanish speakers in an university setting. I've worked in other educational areas like being a Consultant for the Puerto Rico Department of Education, where I had to write official letters in name of the Secretary of Education and as an Educational Project Manager, where I designed and administered innovative education projects. Educate has being my life and passion.Every person has a unique learning style. Through the years I've been working as a teacher I've learned that school systems aren't designed to fit everyone. Don't worry if your kid seems not to fit. That's why, through tutoring sessions, a unique study program can be specifically designed to help fill in the gaps they might have by teaching in an understandable way.

Maria Luisa

1st Grade ELA (in Spanish) Tutor • +34 Subjects

My experiences as a multilingual poet with 20+ years of facilitating workshops in person and online, as a college professor of English composition and literature (6 years) and college admissions counselor (4 years), I have a wealth of resources I access in order to tailor my teaching and tutoring to the students who work with me. First, I actively listen and intensively read. Then I reflect back the strengths I learn through what students share with me. No two students are alike; that is why I believe in different learning pathways to arrive at the same destination: success!

Frequently Asked Questions

Second graders learning ELA in Spanish often struggle with verb conjugation in present tense, especially irregular verbs like ser, estar, and tener. Many students also find it challenging to build vocabulary retention across reading, writing, and speaking contexts, and they may mix Spanish and English when they're uncertain about a word. Additionally, pronunciation of vowel sounds and accent marks can be inconsistent, and students frequently need support moving from simple sight words to decoding slightly longer words with diphthongs and consonant blends.

Classroom settings often limit individual speaking time, but personalized 1-on-1 instruction gives second graders consistent opportunities to practice conversation, ask questions, and receive immediate feedback on pronunciation and grammar. A tutor can adjust the pace and complexity of spoken Spanish to match each student's level, model proper intonation, and create low-pressure environments where students feel comfortable experimenting with new vocabulary and sentence structures without fear of peer judgment.

An immersion approach uses Spanish as the primary language of instruction while scaffolding comprehension through gestures, visuals, and context clues rather than translating everything to English. Tutors might read stories aloud, ask comprehension questions in Spanish, and encourage students to respond in Spanish before offering English support. This method builds listening comprehension naturally and helps students think in Spanish rather than mentally translating, which is especially effective at the 2nd grade level when children's brains are still developing language patterns.

Rather than drilling conjugation charts, experienced tutors use repetition through games, songs, and storytelling where verbs appear in meaningful contexts. For example, a tutor might create a simple story about what different family members do each day, repeating "yo juego, tú juegas, él juega" naturally within the narrative. Pattern recognition and muscle memory from repeated exposure work better at this age than formal grammar rules, and celebrating small improvements keeps students motivated as they internalize irregular verbs over time.

Code-switching is completely normal at this developmental stage and doesn't indicate a lack of effort. Skilled tutors gently redirect by providing the Spanish word without making the student feel wrong, then encouraging them to repeat the complete Spanish phrase. Some tutors use visual word banks or picture cards to help students access Spanish vocabulary before they resort to English, and they celebrate when students self-correct or try a new word in Spanish, reinforcing that effort matters more than perfection.

Learning Spanish isn't just about grammar and vocabulary—it's about understanding the cultures where Spanish is spoken. Tutors often incorporate stories, holidays, and traditions from Spanish-speaking countries, which makes learning more engaging and gives students context for why certain expressions or words matter. For second graders, this might include celebrating Día de Muertos, reading folktales, or learning about daily life in different Spanish-speaking regions, which deepens both language comprehension and cultural appreciation.

At the 2nd grade level, reading and writing develop together—students learn phonics patterns through reading, then apply those patterns when writing simple sentences. Tutors typically start with guided reading of age-appropriate texts, then move to interactive writing activities where students compose short sentences or simple stories using words and patterns they've just practiced. This integrated approach helps students see that reading and writing use the same foundational skills, reinforcing both simultaneously.

Second graders in Spanish ELA typically progress from recognizing letters and simple words to reading short sentences and writing 2-3 sentence stories over the course of a school year with consistent practice. Speaking fluency develops more gradually—students might move from single words to simple phrases and short questions within a few months of regular tutoring. Progress looks like increased confidence in attempting new words, longer attention spans during Spanish activities, and willingness to speak without constant prompting, rather than perfect accent or grammar.
