I have extensive experience in all levels of Spanish, with eight years in two private High Schools, teaching Spanish 1-4, AP and Dual Credit. As an Adjunct Professor at Texas Wesleyan University, I taught three levels of Spanish. My academic credentials include a Master of Arts degree in National Security Affairs / Latin America Studies from the U.S. Naval Postgraduate School and graduation with honors in Spanish at the Defense Language Institute in Monterey, CA. In order to further my Spanish proficiency, I attended the Don Quixote Institute of Languages Superintensivo Program in Guanajuato, Mexico.

My strong passion for teaching Spanish to all age groups has resulted in my integrating multiple complementary techniques to reach the student. Through incorporating a wide variety of materials to aid in the learning process, I make learning a foreign language less intimidating. I want my students to have both a solid foundation and the comfort to enjoy Spanish.

Spanish

My professional credentials in the Spanish language span three decades. As an Air Force officer in the 1980s, I was a specialist in Latin American intelligence, performing English-to-Spanish and Spanish-to-English translation services. I received a Master's degree in Latin America Studies from the U.S. Naval Postgraduate School, and I graduated with honors from the Defense Language Institute in Monterey, CA. Later I attended the Don Quixote Institute of Languages, Guanajuato, Mexico, attaining "advanced C1" level in their superintensivo course. During the past decade, I have been teaching all levels of Spanish in several private high schools and at a university. My teaching style includes a mix of technical grammar comprehension and immersion drills. I integrate a variety of techniques (visual aids, sound aids, animation, hands-on, verbal and nonverbal activities) to ensure complete understanding of the specific concepts.

Excellent Tutor

Cynthia is by far the best tutor I have used on this service. She is knowledgeable and patient. She helped me not only to complete my work, but to understand it, so that I am able to apply what I have learned in school on my own. Thank you Cynthia!

Joy, 51 lessons with Cynthia

Excellent Spanish Teacher

My 9th grader has been taking regular lessons with Cynthia for over two years and finds them very helpful! Cynthia has made a big difference in my daughter’s ability to grasp grammar nuances of the language and contributed to her consistent progress. My daughter has started as a beginner and is taking Spanish Honors now. I highly recommend Cynthia! Her approach works!

Elena, 124 lessons with Cynthia

Awesome tutor!!!

Miss Cynthia is extremely patient while also pushing you to increase your Spanish language knowledge. With her having learned Spanish as a second language, she has a unique knowledge in helping me understand the differences between Spanish & English. If you want to increase your Spanish speaking ability, set up a session with Miss Cynthia.

Excellent tutor!

Cynthia has been an amazing tutor for our son. She has helped bring his grade up and she is quick to respond to emails! She is easy to communicate with and even sends a follow up email with what was completed during the lesson!

Very thorough.

Cynthia has been helping our son in Spanish II. She is extremely prompt, thorough and organized. She is very impressive. Our son seems to have gained some confidence in just two lessons. We are so grateful.

Learning so much!!! Great teacher!

Cynthia is always prepared with great material and we start each lesson with conversation. I’ve learned tons and the lessons make it so much easier and a lot more fun to learn Spanish than on my own. She has great suggestions to improve Spanish like watching Spanish shows on Netflix. It’s great how she helps me fill in the blanks during conversation and help me learn how to say what I’m thinking of in Spanish. Really fun and enjoyable lessons , looking forward to learning more next week :)

Knowledgeable and helpful

Cynthia has an excellent grasp of the language and was willing to custom design something for me since I am a beginner. She is an excellent teacher. I hope to be using her in the future as my Spanish improves
