My name is Brian, I am a language learning and linguistics tutor. I graduated from College of DuPage with an Associates of Arts with a concentration in Foreign Languages and Linguistics and graduated from UIC with a BA in Hispanic Linguistics. I am a graduate student at UMB studying Applied Linguistics with a concentration in Foreign Language Pedagogy/Language Acquisition. I aspire to be a college professor some day. I have worked hard to be able to earn 4.0 cumulative GPAs at both COD and UIC and have received several honors and accolades that have enhanced my profession as a tutor. I have also been involved in several clubs and organizations as an officer or leader position, such as being the Vice President of UIC's Linguistics Club.

I am a Professional Tutor/Academic/Teacher's Assistant at the College of DuPage and have been working there for over eight years. I have fortunately been nominated and featured for a staff spotlight story for COD outlining my experiences and endeavors throughout my 8-year career. If you would like to read or know more, please let me know. I am an avid linguist who speaks fluent Spanish and Italian, a lot of French, a decent amount of German and Portuguese, a little Polish, and a tiny bit of several miscellaneous languages. I also am an ESL tutor/teacher who has worked with several English language learners from all over the world in small and large classroom settings. Helping students learn and study languages is one of my absolute passions. I tutor for personal, professional, or academic purposes. I can tutor/teach Spanish, Italian, French, some German, ESL (English as a Second Language), Linguistics, Psychology, Sociology, Music, etc. I have an immense amount of foreign language and ESL tutoring and over 13 years of rich one-on-one and group delivery tutoring/teaching experience having worked with a diverse range of clientele. I am flexible and ready to assist you with all of your linguistic skills and needs! Thanks so much! Muchas gracias! Grazie mille! Merci beaucoup!

Engaged tutor who took time to get to know my son; provided study tips and homework help

I was impressed with Brian’s willingness to engage before the session even started to find out my son’s strengths and weaknesses as well what material was being covered in class. In addition to helping my son complete two assignments, he offered study tips and other resources. Brian really cares about his students and customizing learning to their needs.
