Cynthia
Multi-media college-level Spanish AND lots of real-world experience!
Hola, if you want to have a lot of fun with a multi-media approach to Spanish learning, look no more! Spanish is the main subject I tutor, because I especially love Spanish. My English writing and speaking skills are excellent also, since proofing, clear grammar, syntax, punctuation, and public speaking abilities are important in all languages. I have taught college Spanish in Spanish-only at the U. of California in Santa Cruz (UCSC), and I have taught 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th grade bilingual cl...

Cynthia has a unique style of teaching. Her personality is fun and encouraging. I am looking forward to future sessions and being able to see my daughter excel in Spanish!

Cynthia tutored me in Spanish 101 and 102 at The University of Arizona. she was very helpful and also made learning Spanish very fun! She has a great personality and will be sure to put a smile on your face while you are learning. My tutoring sessions with her were definitely one of the better parts of my day, and I learned so much. I passed my class and still remember a lot of the language months later! She has fantastic hand outs and flashcards that she will give or lend you that are extremely helpful. She also will send an email after a session going over everything that you discussed which is helpful for reviewing on your own time. I highly recommend her as a tutor!

I recommend Cynthia as a tutor; I'm taking classes with her for TOEFL ibt and I feel that I'm getting better with the speaking section, that was one of my weakness. Cynthia has a complete understanding what is necessary for TOEFL. She has been pushing me in order to get a higher score. She has a great knowledge about any topic and it fits perfect with TOEFL. When it comes to personality, she is very kind, patient and I'm sure you will laugh with some of her comments. In conclusion, I really recommend Cynthia, don't hesitate to choose Cynthia as your tutor.

Thomas B. from Vail, AZ
I have had private tutoring with Cynthia for just over a year, and have been wanting to write a review. I have had other tutors in the past, but none with the professionalism or depth of knowledge that Cynthia has. All the grammar, the expressions, syntax, nuances are made clear and understandable. Also, she has years of experience in the Spanish language radio business and can haul out a song lyric for any occasion. We talk about everything under the sun, and the lessons are not only beneficial, but fun too. I have the highest respect for her as a teacher, and consider her my friend as well. You won't find anyone better.

Cynthia is the best... in every way. Very professional, prompt, knowledgeable, personable with a passion for everything Spanish! I needed private lessons for business and personal reasons and was fortunate enough to find her on WyzAnt. Although she was born a gringa I think her soul is Latin. She loves the language, culture, music and politics of the Latin world. She has traveled and lived it... personally and professionally. She has taught Spanish at the college level. As a tutor, she is a rare find and I give her 5 stars!
John J. from Tucson, AZ
Cynthia is really excellent. She establishes what I should prepare for the next lesson, and comes well prepared both to drill me and to assist me. She has a wealth of prepared items for different areas of grammar and vocabulary, and is ready to answer my questions. Most Highly recommended

Cynthia is a great tutor ! She tailors the lessons to suit our needs and makes the lessons enjoyable. She is flexable in both her teaching methods and lessons which keeps the learning interesting as well as informative.
Stephanie G. from Tucson, AZ
I have taken tutoring lessons from Cynthia for about 6 months now and I find that her lessons teach me things I can't find in the book. She is very patient and helps me understand the concepts of things rather than just memorizing. She uses different methods of studying and showcasing examples. I would recommend Cynthia as a tutor for anyone who has trouble learning Spanish like I did. She is wonderful!

She keeps things interesting, rolls in topics about the culture and geography of language we are studying, and provides class with ample opportunity to request direction of lessons to suit our need.
