Spanish, learned the way it’s taught—and lived.
Having spent several years teaching Spanish 1-3 in the classroom, I bring to my students practical curriculum and weekly structure to every session – plus the cultural depth, which I can share due to the time I lived in Latin America. The result: Students don’t just pass their tests, but they grow in confidence.

About me
Read my full backgroundAs a licensed Spanish and ESL instructor—and a mom of three—I bring both expertise and heart to every lesson. My mission is to spark a love for language and culture, while building the skills students need in order to feel confident and successful.
I believe every student has the potential to thrive, and with personalized lessons and steady encouragement, my vision is to help them grow—not just in Spanish, but in confidence, curiosity, and lifelong learning.
What I offer
Every session planned in advance, around one student.
Personalized lesson plans
Every session is planned before we meet, around the student’s needs, learning style, and school requirements.
Homework, tests, and long-term skills
Targeted support for assignments, projects, and exams, so the student walks in equipped.
Vocabulary and comprehension
Listening, speaking, reading, and writing practice that builds both accuracy and confidence.
Test prep and test-out exams
Focused preparation for unit tests, finals, placement exams, and test-out exams, planned backward from the test date.
Culture, not just textbook
Stories and perspectives from years in Bogotá, Costa Rica, Mexico, Nicaragua, and Ecuador.
Working with me directly
What a one-on-one arrangement gives your student.
The same tutor every week
Every student works solely with me, which creates consistency in instruction and allows us to build a strong, trusting rapport.
A licensed teacher, not a generalist
Between teaching Spanish 1-3 in the classroom and helping to develop the curriculum for a Spanish Immersion Pilot Program, I am very familiar with the material each student is being graded on.
Planned before I arrive
Sessions are built around your student’s actual class and school requirements, not a standard workbook.
No packages or contracts
$60 an hour. Weekly when it helps, paused when it doesn’t.
You talk to me directly
Questions about progress come straight to me, not to a coordinator.
From families
“If your student could use some extra help with Spanish outside of the school day, I highly recommend reaching out to Brenna! She is a former HS Spanish teacher. She is very caring & really wants to help kids succeed. Our regular appointments over the last year made a world of difference! Spanish went from my kid’s worse subject to one of his best. Very reasonably priced and flexible.”
“Brenna has been a fantastic Spanish tutor for my daughter! She is amazingly flexible with her scheduling, teaching approach, and overall offerings, making it easy to tailor lessons to what my daughter needs most. Brenna provided incredible tools and practical tips that built my daughter’s confidence for both daily class participation and major exams. Working with her has been a overwhelmingly positive experience, and we saw a direct impact on my daughter’s classroom performance and semester grades. I highly recommend Brenna to any student looking to excel in Spanish!”
“My daughter enjoys working with Brenna. She is professional, fun and very knowledgeable. Brenna is great at adapting to school curriculum or working on a summer plan and even extra supplemental reading. Would recommend to anyone looking for a Spanish tutor.”
“Is amazing at helping our daughter through honors Spanish. Would highly recommend.”
Let’s find a time to talk.
