Matthew
Pre-Algebra Tutor • +39 Subjects
I'm a highly creative person who works best with visual thinkers. Very recently graduated from Stanford University, I majored in Human Biology with a concentration in Bioinformatics and Stem Cell Science. Technical though my background may be, I am currently gigging as a singer/songwriter/composer in NYC and tackle even the most hard-science of problems with a top-down, big-picture, holistic approach. If you have a propensity to look at problems in a cross- or inter-disciplinary manner (or want to learn how to do so), I'm the tutor for you!
Charles
AP Calculus AB Tutor • +25 Subjects
I am a junior Mechanical Engineering major at Yale, and I hope to become a Naval Aviator after college. I am also a varsity sailor, and enjoy playing music with friends when I can get some free time. I have been tutoring my fellow students throughout my entire academic career, and I would best describe my tutoring style as one that adapts to each students' needs. For example, I have always tried to frame questions in a different way so that the student can better understand the question. Some students need visual representations of numbers and systems to understand them, and others benefit more by understanding the concepts behind each formula. I prefer to tutor in math and physics, and especially with real world application problems. I hope to help students improve their standardized test scores and their understanding of the math and sciences so that they can achieve their academic goals! Hobbies: art, books, running, reading, music, writing

Samuel
AP Calculus AB Tutor • +29 Subjects
I am a freshman at Caltech majoring in Applied and Computational Mathematics. My favorite subject to tutor is math because I find it very rewarding to simplify complex topics to aid in understanding. I have lots of tutoring experience. In high school, I ran and taught an SAT prep class and was vice president of my school's NHS chapter where I ran our tutoring program, and I, myself, tutored. I also was a teaching assistant in the summer of 2020 for a class in discrete mathematics through a program called PACT (Program in Algorithmic and Combinatorial Thinking). I love learning and hope to make the process enjoyable for you!

I am willing to address any issue with an open mind and I try to develop strategies that play to a student's strengths. I would like to think I am very approachable and personable, and I have had very positive experiences with many students in the past using this philosophy. Outside of academics, I love playing basketball and watching sports, as well as chilling with friends, listening to music, and keeping up with politics and current affairs.

Frequently Asked Questions
Both are essential, but they work together differently than many students expect. In 7th grade, you're building foundational grammar (present tense conjugations, ser vs. estar, basic sentence structure) that makes conversation possible. However, the best approach balances explicit grammar instruction with frequent speaking practice—so you learn conjugation patterns, then immediately use them in real dialogues. A tutor can target your specific gaps: if verb conjugation is shaky, they'll drill patterns with context; if you understand grammar but freeze when speaking, they'll focus on conversation confidence and natural response patterns.
Verb conjugation is hard because it requires memorizing multiple patterns (regular -ar, -er, -ir verbs plus irregular verbs like ir, ser, tener) while also understanding when to use each form. Most classrooms teach conjugation charts, but 7th graders struggle to apply them in real speech because the patterns aren't internalized. A tutor uses spaced repetition and contextual practice—conjugating verbs within sentences and dialogues you actually care about, not isolated charts. This builds automatic recall so you can conjugate naturally in conversation rather than pausing to think through rules.
In a classroom of 20-30 students, you might speak Spanish for a few minutes per class; with a tutor, you speak for the entire session. More importantly, a tutor adapts in real-time to your level and pace—if you mispronounce a word, they correct it immediately; if you're stuck, they prompt you without judgment. You also get personalized conversation topics (your interests, hobbies, school life) rather than generic textbook dialogues, which makes speaking feel relevant and helps vocabulary stick. This consistent, low-pressure speaking practice is where pronunciation, fluency, and confidence actually develop.
Cramming vocabulary lists doesn't stick—research on learning shows spaced repetition and retrieval practice work much better. Effective vocabulary retention means encountering words multiple times over days and weeks, in different contexts (reading, writing, speaking), and actively retrieving them from memory. A tutor builds vocabulary retention by introducing new words in conversation, having you use them in sentences, then revisiting them in future sessions in different contexts. They also help you connect new words to words you already know (cognates, word families) so they integrate into your existing knowledge rather than sitting in isolation.
Pronunciation matters more than many students realize—mispronouncing vowels or rolling your r's incorrectly can change word meaning, and poor pronunciation makes you harder to understand in real conversation. In 7th grade, focus should be on consistent vowel sounds (a, e, i, o, u never change), clear consonants, and word stress rather than perfect native-like accent. A tutor can model correct pronunciation, listen to you speak, and give specific feedback on problem sounds—whether that's the Spanish 'r', the 'j' sound, or stress patterns. Regular speaking practice with immediate correction helps you build accurate pronunciation habits before they become ingrained.
Learning Spanish without cultural context makes it feel abstract and disconnected. A tutor can weave in relevant cultural elements—why certain greetings matter in different Spanish-speaking countries, regional differences in vocabulary, cultural holidays and traditions, or current events in Spanish-speaking communities. This context helps vocabulary and grammar stick better (you remember "tú" vs "usted" when you understand the social relationship it reflects) and makes learning feel purposeful. It also builds genuine interest in the language beyond test scores, which naturally improves motivation and retention.
By 7th grade, you should move beyond translating word-by-word to understanding main ideas, inferring meaning from context, and recognizing text structure. These skills include identifying cognates to unlock unfamiliar words, understanding verb tense to follow timeline, and grasping tone and intent. A tutor builds these skills by having you read age-appropriate texts (short stories, articles, emails) and ask comprehension questions that push you to think in Spanish rather than translate. They also teach you strategies like skimming for key words, using surrounding sentences to guess unknown words, and recognizing patterns in how Spanish structures meaning—all skills that make reading faster and more natural.
Writing in Spanish requires combining grammar knowledge (correct conjugation, adjective agreement, ser vs. estar) with expressing your own ideas—which is harder than just filling in grammar worksheets. A tutor helps by having you write short pieces (messages, journal entries, descriptions) and then providing targeted feedback on patterns you're missing, not just marking every error. They teach you to self-edit for common mistakes (like forgetting to conjugate verbs or match adjective gender) and help you develop a personal voice in Spanish. Regular writing practice with feedback builds confidence and helps grammar rules become automatic so you can focus on communicating your ideas.
