Bilingual Tutor for Spanish - 5 Years of Tutoring Experience - Adults and Children

Hi! I'm Allison and I currently live in Canada. I have previously lived in the States and Mexico. I enjoy cooking (and eating!), reading and watching movies, which are subjects we can discuss at large to practice conversational English or Spanish. Always happy to help with technical English or Spanish as well. I have been tutoring since 2009, by helping my classmates pass their Second Language Test in college (UNAM).

Hi! I'm Allison and I currently live in Canada. I have previously lived in the States and Mexico. I enjoy cooking (and eating!), reading and watching movies, which are subjects we can discuss at large to practice conversational English or Spanish. Always happy to help with technical English or Spanish as well. I have been tutoring since 2009, by helping my classmates pass their Second Language Test in college (UNAM). After working in the field of petroleum engineering I decided my passion was to help people gain confidence in their skills. With more than ten years of experience overall and native proficiency in both languages, I have honed my skills in creating dynamic and engaging lessons tailored to individual needs. I understand that each learner has unique goals and learning styles, and I am committed to designing personalized lesson plans to maximize your progress. My lessons look like this: - Introduction and Initial Assessment: I introduce myself and ask you for your name and what you like to be called. I ask you about your goals, timeframes, and learning style and we fill out a document that will be our point of reference moving forward. I conduct a preliminary evaluation of your skills with some questions. - Introduction of New Material; Practice and Application; Real-Life Context and Cultural Integration. - Wrap-up and Reflection: You get a copy of the document we filled out in class, a copy of my curriculum (for new learners), and an infographic (for child/teenage learners) as well as ample time to discuss any doubts or questions you might have. Additionally, I tailor my lessons to every student and always come with material prepared for our following lessons. I am committed to being flexible, adaptable, and responsive to your individual needs, fostering a supportive and motivating learning environment.

Liz
Allison has been an amazing tutor to my son and daughter. She is patient, kind, and just an overall wonderful teacher. My kids look forward to their lessons with her and they have already learned Spanish in the few lessons they’ve been apart of. Would recommend her 100%!
Laura
Alison is an amazing tutor. She tutored my son 3rd level high school Spanish class. She was flexible with our schedule, patient with his skills and very knowledgeable. We could not have gotten through the year without her! We highly recommend !

I look forward to working with Allison three times a week, and I can say her teaching talents are unmatched from other tutors I’ve worked with in the past. From my first class, she has showed me a solid understanding of my needs and her enthusiasm for teaching. Allison has excelled in creating a welcoming learning environment. Her patience and friendliness put me at ease right away with no judgement whatsoever. Over the last three months, Allison has customized her lessons to meet my needs and goals. I don’t have a lot of time to study due to my busy schedule so I’ve asked that we study material together. Her interactive exercises, role-playing, and listening comprehension activities improved my Spanish skills. She is great at simplifying grammar rules and giving straightforward explanations. My favorite thing about Allison is that she gives me the areas in Mexico (and Spain) where words are used and she gives everyday scenarios with word usage so I may one day communicate with Spanish speakers on a realistic level and not from a textbook scenario. Allison is also flexible with her lesson and scheduling to meet my hectic schedule. I highly suggest Allison as a tutor. Her knowledge, devotion, and friendly approach make learning fun and productive. She will help you reach your language goals regardless of your level.
