GZ SPANISH LANGUAGE SERVICES
Private Lessons Information
Hello Students,
I'm an experienced Spanish teacher, interpreter and a homeschooling parent offering individual Spanish lessons in the South Bay Area. I have taught K-12 Spanish for several years at various schools in the area, including the Nueva School and Castilleja plus numerous Adult Spanish Evening Courses at my office or at Foothill College. I have also worked as a bilingual science curriculum developer at the Lawrence Hall of Science. I have a B.S. from the Instituto Tecnologico de Monterrey – I.T.E.S.M., and an M.A. from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
My favorite work is to teach Spanish. I use different and customized Spanish methods depending on the student learning style, objectives and their previous language programs. I'm a patient, flexible and easy-going person. I connect easily with all my students, including children and teens; they enjoy my classes. I only teach individual lessons and tutoring. The majority of my students range from fourth grade to high school. I also tutor all Spanish college-level courses.
My approach to teaching Spanish is very similar to how we learn to play a musical instrument. Each student or adult has a unique set of talents and a learning style, so we focus on using those talents, skills and interests to learn Spanish as-a-second-language easily; students lose their fear of speaking the language and become fluent. To increase practice, lessons may include additional activities where my students get together to play board games in Spanish or we may go out to lunch to a Spanish-speaking restaurant.
I have a full-time schedule, Tuesdays to Saturdays. I charge $___ for one-hour lesson; lessons are always at my office; unfortunately, my full schedule doesn't allow me to travel to each student's home.. To allow success and flexibility in our schedules, students are not charged for any cancelled lessons or while on vacation. Advanced notice is appreciated.
Please feel free to call me or send me an email if you'd like to receive additional information. It'll help me to know your schedule in order to find a most convenient opening for you.
Thank you in advance for your interest.
Best regards,
Maestra Zuniga
