Introduction: I recently resigned my position as a Spanish teacher at Windsor High School in order to stay home with my kids. I have been teaching Spanish for the past ten years and have taught level 1 through AP Spanish 5. Last year my AP Spanish class averaged a score of 3.8 on the AP Exam. If you need help with homework, guidance on preparing a presentation or project, extra instruction, conversational practice, quick study methods to memorize vocabulary, or just some serious encouragement (because if you're trying to learn Spanish, you're doing something really hard!!) I'm your gal!! I have studied / lived in Costa Rica, Peru, and Spain. I received my Masters degree in teaching Spanish language and culture from the University of Salamanca, Spain. I would also love the opportunity to work with university students on more challenging areas of grammar, writing papers, etc. Stop in for drop-in tutoring every Wednesday night (only $20!!!) at Coffee House 29 in Windsor from 6:30 to 8:30 or set up your own personal time slot!! I love working with young people and I love teaching Spanish. I pride myself on simple explanations and real-life application and practice. I would love for you to be super confident the next time you attend Spanish class! Because I am not a native speaker, I believe I can explain grammar and vocabulary in a way that helps English speakers who are learning the language.

Mrs. Rosenoff was my Spanish teacher through all of high school, and I couldn't be more thankful to have had her as a teacher. As a college student preparing to minor in Spanish, I can say that I am successful in my upper level college Spanish classes because I had such a great teacher in high school. Mrs. Rosenoff is one of the most passionate and patient people I know. Her desire to help kids is undeniable. As far as the process of learning Spanish goes, Mrs. Rosenoff is outstanding at making complex grammar structures easy to understand. She is also very good at helping her students practice until they fully understand the concept. Mrs. Rosenoff is hands-down the best teacher I have ever had, and I would recommend her to anyone trying to learn Spanish regardless of their ability.

Senora Rosenoff tutors me once a week via Google Hangout. Our web based class lasts for 1.5 hours per session and it's something I continue to look forward to every week. I work in the building materials industry and the content of our class is catered to my specific needs for my job. Senora Rosenoff is such a positive teacher. She is constantly encouraging me and keeps me wanting to learn more. I would highly recommend her services to Spanish speakers of any level.

Kelsey is a good Spanish speaker and teacher: I recommend her. She is incredibly patient, kind, and eager to understand nuance. The only real issue is that she sometimes pronounces her H's as they sound in English. We all make mistakes sometimes. Other than that, she's up to the job.

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My pricing is fairly regular, although there's a big difference between tutoring (helping someone with Spanish instruction they're already receiving) and lessons (which I need to spend time planning in order to make productive.) In the case of my online client, for example, I am paid $80 per week. This price includes a 90 minute face-to-face instruction and practice lesson, the 1-3 hours I spend planning the lesson each week, as well as homework and any grading necessary. Basically, it comes out to about $25 per hour. If we're talking tutoring, then all I have to do is show up (no planning required), which is why I offer drop-in tutoring for only $20/2 hours on Wednesday evenings in Windsor at Coffee House 29. If you are struggling with Spanish instruction you're already receiving, this would be a sweet deal!!
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I would like to first ask a lot of questions to find out where my student's strengths and weaknesses already lie and exactly what their desires are for learning Spanish. One of my current students, for example, needs to be able to speak Spanish with her customers so we don't worry or focus on writing and spelling during our time together. We do our practices orally so that she can practice thinking and speaking quickly.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have degrees in English, Spanish, and Secondary Education from Augustana College in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. I also studied abroad in Costa Rica and Spain. I also lived in Peru for ten weeks while completing my student teaching. I have a Masters Degree in Spanish Language and Culture from the University of Salamanca, Spain and I completed my thesis on using technology to create authentic learning opportunities for my students. I am currently certified to teach K-12 Spanish in the state of Colorado.
