Introduction: I am a native Spanish educator from South America. I specialize in teaching private classes at all levels. My methodology has been very successful and my current students enjoy learning from the comfort of their offices and homes. You can too! It is that easy to learn a new language. Please feel free to send me messages through thumbtack as they do not allow you to send directly.

I have studied with Ms. Almeyda for two years, and my daughter (age 11) has been studying with her for three years (she is still a student). My Spanish went from high-school textbook to a conversational level that helped me get along while visiting Mexico. My daughter attends a bilingual school and with Ms. Almeyda's tutoring, she was able to expand her fluency level beyond the classroom. Her conversational teaching technique is effective, and the activities she chooses reinforces vocabulary and tenses. For example, a lesson on "the kitchen" and "cooking" might involve making a traditional Colombian dish, with kitchen vocabulary and verbs (chopping, baking, mixing, etc.). Ms. Almeyda is a true professional and a lovely person, too. I recommend her for any age, and for any level.

I have been working with Teresa for the past few years as my spanish tutor and she has been an incredible asset that has helped me achieve the level of spanish proficiency that I require for both my work and my own personal interest. Teresa has always assured a friendly (and fun!) learning environment as well as the flexibility to adapt and cater the lessons to my specific needs. I would strongly recommend Teresa for those seeking to improve their spanish language skills and gain a better understanding of the Latin culture.

My husband and I have been taking Spanish lessons from Teresa in our home for over a year and recommend her highly. She is a wonderful teacher and a delightful person. We started from zero Spanish, but Tere's immersive approach quickly moved us to a level where we could communicate pretty well when visiting Spanish-speaking countries. Tere manages to somehow blend a very supportive style with attention to grammar and pronunciation. She is excellent!

I studied Spanish with Tere for over a year. I took classes three times a week and through Skype. At first I thought it would be boring because I work with my computer almost all day. But Tere improvised a class of half an hour the day of our interview online and I really liked the way she teaches always making her students part of that methodology. That is, from the beginning she made me talk with what little she had taught me. She explains the grammatical concepts and immediately we begin to use them in class in conversations. So the classes are nice and sometimes we do exercises that she searches online to reinforce concepts and vocabulary better. I feel that I have learned so much in such a short time that I have been studying. That's why I recommend Tere as a great teacher and for all levels. Tere is also a warm and very professional person. Her personality is pleasant. Do not hesitate a second to take classes with Tere. She loves teaching and sharing her culture and experiences through her teaching. Hee Ung Choi Korea

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I really do not charge much. It is just $21.00 per hour and the lessons go per sessions. Each session is of 10 hour class. I require students to pay before starting a session and with Paypal. I do not follow a textbook. I prepare the lessons with online resources based on students' needs and interests. There are no discounts but there is a free conversational class at the end of each session for 30 minutes.
How did you get started doing this type of work?
I started teaching when I came to the United States as an exchange student for two years. I was trained to teach Spanish and English as a second language and lived in 6 different states. With this experience I was able to travel and learn more about living with families and education in the United States. I was trained in 5 junior and high schools and one college. I always felt called by teaching and in my family two aunts were teachers of elementary and secondary education.
What types of customers have you worked with?
