Introduction
I reside in Utah, so if you are looking for a local tutor here in Utah, check me out! Since the COVID-19 outbreak, I teach lessons online; that way we remain safe, and you can enjoy lessons from your own home while we still see each other and converse! There are a lot of fun things we can do online. I utilize quite a few online resources and share my screen to do games, share a chalkboard, read a book together, listen to some music, watch a video, and other activities. Learning should be FUN, not boring! We all learn better and faster and we remember more if we are enjoying the process. You may notice that some professionals on Thumbtack have been hired by a large number of people. Having a large number of hires doesn't always equate with excellence. I don't have a huge number of hires because I have longevity and I am a team of one. I work with my students long-term. I have been working with some of my students for as long as ten years (which is when I began private tutoring and joined Thumbtack). Therefore, I don't have the need to be continually looking for new students. However, I usually have space for new students. Prior to doing private tutoring I worked as a translator. One of my degrees is in Spanish translation. Additionally, probably 50% of my students come from unsolicited referrals by my other students. I incorporate games, music (if you learn something to music you tend to remember it better and longer), simulations of everyday activities, conversation, reading, writing, listening activities, visuals and lots of handouts to help you learn. You will remember better and learn faster if you complete assignments outside of the lesson time frame, so I assign homework, if you are willing. Every student is given a customized lesson plan and we go at your pace.

Blythe helped my daughter get back up to speed during the summer for Spanish 4 in high school. The lessons were very helpful and Blythe had a good working knowledge of the areas she should have covered through Spanish 3.

Thanks to Thumbtack , about 2 months ago I was fortunate to find Blythe for teaching Spanish to my 2 kids (11 & 7 yrs old). We have nothing but great things to say about her. What started of as a once a week lesson for an hr , quick converted into 2 lessons that span over 3 hours per week. Blythe is a fantastic teacher, extremely professional but fun at the same time, engages the kids and teaches through multiple teaching strategies (using games , white boards , charts , conversations and books). She takes time and comes prepared for each lesson she takes. My kids are learning a ton and having fun at the same time. They really look forward to their Spanish lessons every week. Blythe is also very supportive and flexible and is willing to do what it takes to accommodate for schedule conflicts (which are sometimes unavoidable), which is a blessing for every busy parent. We are really happy to have Blythe as our Spanish tutor and have already provided a recommendation to several friends.

Blythe is a wonderful Spanish instructor for my two children (ages 7 and 10 years). She is creative, engaging, patient, and uses a variety of teaching methods in each lesson. The time flies by and the kids always have a wonderful and enriching experience. She is also thoughtful, kind, and reliable. I would recommend Blythe to any child or adult who is seeking to improve their Spanish speaking and reading abilities. She is fabulous.

I found Blythe through Thumbtack in August of 2014 and we have been working together ever since - now over two years. I highly recommend Blythe as a Spanish tutor for any age group. My elementary aged son and I work with her 2x/month and we are each improving our Spanish language skills. Blythe caters the lessons to our diverse levels and engages us in multi-modal learning strategies - books, music, movement, games, worksheets, conversations, and hands-on activities. My son looks forward to our lessons with enthusiasm. Blythe continually checks in about our goals and needs, and surpasses our expectations. She is bright, patient, and passionate as a teacher. She is flexible and communicative, making every attempt to reschedule when we have needed to miss a lesson. We wish we had more time to work with Blythe every week, and we are grateful for our bi-monthly lessons to continue to expose my son to Spanish and to ignite his interest in learning and using Spanish. Blythe is laying a very strong foundation if he is able to take formal study in his future. At the same time, she is supporting my ongoing engagement with Spanish and inspiring me to work toward fluency.
