Spanish: Learn about Language, Culture, and History
My passion is learning and teaching others! I hold NJ teacher certification in high school social studies and middle school Spanish. My passion for the Spanish lanuage began as a child growing up in Queens, NY. Although I grew up in an English speaking household, the neighborhood where I lived was home to immigrants from all over Latin America.

Christine has been a delight to work with, very supportive and reassuring of my feeble beginnings. She suggested a textbook that I find very useful for my beginner level. She has also recommended a bi-lingual story book for home reading that I find very useful. In short, Christine is a skilled teacher with excellent command of her subject and works with me at a pace that makes the process enjoyable, challenging and effective.

Christine is very patient and motivating,she adapts well to my learning needs just as a Professional Tutor should, I would recommend her to anyone I know that is trying to learn Spanish as a second language.
Michelle P. from Wayne, NJ
Christine is a wonderful teacher. A very punctual and patient person. Christine was able to recognize the level of Spanish I was at and apply her curriculum at an effective pace that I felt comfortable with. Also, I thought it was great that Christine's first language is English, therefore, she was able to explain the Spanish grammar in a way I could understand. I would highly recommend Christine to my close family and friends. You will not be disappointed!

Christine P. is very good tutor. She is always very patient, cheerful and bubbly, she is perfect for my son(junior in high school) as she teaches very well and knows what resources to use. She teaches my son Spanish. She started to teach with grammar fist to build strong foundation.

Christine is an outstanding professional. She is knowledgeable, very organized and proficient, and she is never late. She has a very cheerful personality, and is a wonderful role model for kids of any age. She connected easily with my rebellious teen daughter, whose school report stated for Spanish as "in danger of failure." I liked Christine's WyzAnt profile because she stated an understanding and love for the structure of the language and its grammar. She didn't lie! My daughter's grade improved almost overnight, and she was happy to work with Christine some more. Two months later she graduated with a 96! I highly recommend Christine as a Spanish tutor, and also for help with learning routine, organization, and time management - everything most middle school students are struggling with but are having problems communicating about.
