My 5-star rating is built on excellent education and extensive experience in both Spanish and Music. After growing up with my mother, a Spanish teacher by profession, I earned a B.A. in Spanish, including one year in Spain. I have maintained near-native fluency through my various bilingual positions and friendships with native Spanish speakers from several countries. My two Music degree programs provided professional performing experiences and excellent teaching methods courses. As a choral director and private music teacher, I trained students of all levels of ability.

In over 4,750 hours of tutoring both subjects, I have honed the ability to explain concepts clearly and sequentially while making the learning experience enjoyable and personalized to the individual's interests, goals, and learning style. In every lesson review, I provide links to online resources related to that lesson. Students describe me as knowledgeable, patient, encouraging, and "the best." They feel free to ask questions in a non-intimidating setting, excelling beyond their expectations. Both struggling and motivated high school and college students improve their skills, confidence, and grades. In Medical Spanish, medical professionals are equipped to directly communicate with patients. I am fully bilingual in English and Spanish and have also studied other Romance languages, enabling me to make comparisons for students with prior experience in those languages.

Music Theory can be an intimidating subject for many gifted, artistic musicians. I proceed systematically, encouraging the student and relating concepts to familiar music. My knowledge of the voice is valuable in enabling Ear Training students to reproduce the tones they hear. In Music History, we compare trends in art, architecture, and culture of the period and look at the biographical information on composers, their influencers, and their contributions to style trends.

It would be my joy to share my love and knowledge of both Spanish and Music with you!

Spanish

Spanish

Having tutored all levels of Spanish for many years, I am very familiar with the points of grammar that give students the most trouble. I help students to build their confidence in learning the language by tapping into their learning styles and by my personable and encouraging approach. It is also a joy to share my love of the language with other adults for their personal or professional needs. My bachelor's degree in Spanish Language and Literature included a year abroad in Madrid, Spain, where I developed near-native fluency that I have maintained throughout my life.

History

Music History

Music History

I have Masters and Bachelors degrees in Music. Course work included four semesters of Music History: Renaissance to Baroque; Classical; Romantic; and Twentieth Century and two semesters of Choral Literature, spanning about 500 years. I taught two semesters of Introduction to Music Appreciation and a music history survey course at the Community College of RI.

Ear Training

I have Masters and Bachelors degrees in Music. Coursework included four semesters of ear training/sight singing (using moveable do). My years of choral directing helped me to have a highly developed ear for intonation, tuning, and pitch. I have taught groups in schools and churches, in addition to teaching college courses and private voice and piano students. One of my WyzAnt Music Theory/Ear Training students was accepted into Berklee College of Music.
General Music,

General Music

My broad and extensive musical career began with an excellent foundation of classical training. My education prepared me to teach people of all ages and levels of ability. I have taught volunteers in churches and communities as well as middle/high school music and college courses in music appreciation. I have also taught voice and piano privately for many years. One of my specialties is to make music approachable and understandable to amateurs and music lovers.

Amazing and wonderful Spanish tutor

Elizabeth was *wonderful* to work with! I am a college sophomore and I was taking Spanish for the first time and was very nervous. I am so grateful to her for all of her work with me. She explained everything so clearly and was able to give me helpful tips and tricks for how to remember grammar or pronunciation rules. It was so helpful and I did really well in my class thanks to her help!!!

Great Spanish Tutor

My daughter was struggling with Spanish one after entering mid semester. Elizabeth is knowledgeable, patient and really great at connecting with my shy student. Hour long sessions fly by and my student is retaining the information.

Excellent last minute help

My daughter needed last minute help to study for a Spanish 2 test. Elizabeth was very helpful and walked my daughter through the content. My daughter ended up scoring 93 on her test while many other students in the class didn’t do as well. Thank you for the extra help!
