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.

I am a retired educator with almost 30 years of experience in the classroom and library. A large part of my classroom instruction involved tutoring in all core subject areas in grades K-5. As a librarian,I had the pleasure of working with middle school teens as a resource and mentor in academic competitions and other activities. My teaching philosophy involves listening to the student and assessing weaknesses and strengths. I use scaffolding to build upon small successes until the student has mastered skills and achieved his/her goals.

Frequently Asked Questions

Third graders learning Spanish ELA typically struggle with verb conjugation in present tense, especially irregular verbs like ser, estar, and ir. They also find it difficult to transition from simple sentences to more complex narratives with past tense, and many students mix English and Spanish when speaking spontaneously. Additionally, building vocabulary retention—particularly for descriptive words and action verbs needed for writing—requires consistent, targeted practice that goes beyond classroom instruction.

In a classroom setting, 3rd graders rarely get extended speaking time in Spanish. With personalized tutoring, students get uninterrupted conversation practice where they can make mistakes in a safe environment and receive immediate feedback on pronunciation, grammar, and word choice. Tutors can adapt the pace and topics to match each student's comfort level, gradually building confidence in expressing thoughts, asking questions, and responding to prompts—skills that are essential but hard to develop in group settings.

Tutors work with age-appropriate Spanish texts—short stories, fables, and leveled readers—and use strategies like pre-reading vocabulary introduction, guided questioning during reading, and retelling activities to build understanding. They also help students recognize cognates (words similar to English) and context clues to decode unfamiliar words. For 3rd graders, the focus is on moving beyond word-by-word decoding to actually understanding plot, characters, and main ideas while building confidence as readers.

Third graders in Spanish ELA are learning to write simple narratives, descriptive paragraphs, and responses to prompts using complete sentences. Common focus areas include subject-verb agreement, correct use of present and past tense, spelling patterns in Spanish, and organizing ideas with beginning, middle, and end. Tutors provide guided writing practice with scaffolding—starting with sentence frames or word banks—then gradually removing supports as students gain independence and confidence in expressing their ideas on paper.

Expert tutors teach grammar rules explicitly—like conjugation patterns and sentence structure—but always in context through reading and conversation, not in isolation. They model natural Spanish usage, encourage students to notice patterns in authentic texts, and correct errors in a way that feels conversational rather than punitive. This approach helps 3rd graders internalize both the 'why' behind rules and the 'how' of using Spanish naturally, which is more effective than memorizing conjugation charts.

Tutors use research-backed strategies like spaced repetition, retrieval practice, and thematic grouping to help vocabulary stick. Rather than drilling isolated word lists, they introduce new words through stories, games, and real conversations, then revisit them across multiple sessions in different contexts. This approach—connecting new words to familiar topics, using them in sentences, and practicing retrieval—is far more effective for 3rd graders than traditional flashcards and helps students actually use the words in speaking and writing.

Tutors weave cultural elements into lessons by reading stories from Spanish-speaking countries, discussing traditions and holidays, and exploring age-appropriate cultural references. This approach makes the language feel alive and purposeful—students aren't just learning words, they're learning about the people and places where Spanish is spoken. For 3rd graders, this cultural immersion builds motivation, deepens comprehension, and helps them understand that Spanish is a real language used by real people, not just an academic subject.

Tutors model correct Spanish pronunciation consistently and provide gentle, encouraging feedback when students mispronounce words or carry English speech patterns into Spanish. They use techniques like repetition, exaggeration of mouth movements, and comparison of similar Spanish sounds to help students develop accurate pronunciation. Since 3rd graders are still developing language awareness, tutors focus on the most impactful sounds and patterns first, building good habits early rather than waiting for ingrained mispronunciations to develop.
