Introduction: Children, teens, and adults really enjoy learning English or Spanish with me because my classes are lively, entertaining, and challenging. My language teaching is rooted in the TPR (Total Physical Response) method and incorporates games, music, movement, and art into the classes. For the more advanced students I use internet articles, podcasts, poetry, and short stories. Each student receives a tailor-made class. I love it when my students are completely immersed in the lesson and are sad to see it end. When I encounter former students and they not only remember me but they tell me how much they loved learning Spanish in my class, I feel so fulfilled.

Sylvia is very skilled in focusing on what your individual goals are in learning Spanish. As a student I can easily stray from my what I want. She has a varied and rich experience to call on to provide what you need in your language learning. what you want she will use her rich experience to find the best methods for you to learn.

Because I am going to Spain shortly, I wanted help with my conversational Spanish. Sylvia was just the ticket! She came to my house (on time) and provide me just what I needed and wanted. I find one of the key things one needs to develop one's conversation is something/someone you enjoy conversing with. Because Sylvia is such an interesting, well and broadly educated person, there was never any problem--except for the lesson ending too soon. It was both a pleasure and a great learning experience. I highly recommend her. AK

Sylvia spends 1.5 hours once a week teaching my three kids Spanish. The kids are 6, 8, and 8. They're learning well and having fun. We are planning to spend a month in Costa Rica and I wanted them to have some language skills when we arrive. So far it's working great.

FAQs

What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
When working with a new customer I like to conduct an informal assessment to gauge the student's language abilities and determine which learning style (aural, visual, verbal or physical) best suits the student.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have a B.A. in Comparative Literature from UCSB and a M.A. in Education from SFSU. I have been teaching in educational settings and tutoring individuals in English and Spanish for many years.
How did you get started doing this type of work?
Ever since I was young I've loved to work with the English and Spanish languages. I've been teaching English since I was in my twenties when I was an exchange student in Madrid and have taught private English lessons ever since. I've been teaching Spanish since the mid-80's.
