Fabiola

1st Grade ELA (in Spanish) Tutor • +15 Subjects

I have been a teacher for over 25 years. However, my experience does not hinder my enthusiasm for the learning process. I believe each individual learns when he/she feels comfortable. This allows for mistakes to become stepping stones on the way to mastery and I'm here to guide through each individual process with positive reinforcement, a dash of humor and fun interactions. My passion for learning is echoed in my teaching style. I am a life-long learner and have traveled through Europe, Asia, and Latin America. I have significantly grown through my time living in Bolivia, Italy, Nepal, and Mexico. These international posts gave me the opportunity to expand my cultural knowledge and be more open-minded. I strongly believe that we all, regardless of our age or background, continue to evolve not only academically but also in our day to day interactions with each other and with our surroundings. I enjoy reading, yoga, painting, meditating, hiking, dancing, and drawing.

1st Grade ELA (in Spanish) Tutor • +63 Subjects

I am very passionate about helping students reach their academic goals through tutoring. I believe that we can all be successful with the right tools.I have been working with students for as long as I can remember, I started as a teacher's assistant. I then became a volunteer, as a volunteer I would tutor students and conduct small group instructions for different classrooms. I have also been a substitute teacher (pre-K through 12th), a youth leader and coach, a private tutor (K-12th), and a public school tutor (middle school).I am currently a senior at the University of Central Florida. Here I am working on my bachelor's in World Language Education - Spanish with minors in Exceptional Students Education, Spanish, and English as a Second Language.I tutor a wide variety of subjects, usually core subjects (math, English, social studies, and science) focusing on grades k-6th. I also tutor Spanish at any grade/level.As I mentioned before I believe that anyone can be successful with the right tools. One of these tools is a tutor. Tutors can help guide you in the right direction and give you the tools needed to be successful in different classes.

I was born and raised in Venezuela. I received my Petroleum Engineering bachelor's degree. Since then, my journey to travel the world began. I lived on three different continents and visited many countries. I have always been passionate about people development, and teaching is one of them.

3rd Grade ELA (in Spanish) Tutor • +65 Subjects

I am a retired educator with almost 30 years of experience in the classroom and library. A large part of my classroom instruction involved tutoring in all core subject areas in grades K-5. As a librarian,I had the pleasure of working with middle school teens as a resource and mentor in academic competitions and other activities. My teaching philosophy involves listening to the student and assessing weaknesses and strengths. I use scaffolding to build upon small successes until the student has mastered skills and achieved his/her goals.

Linnea

1st Grade ELA (in Spanish) Tutor • +35 Subjects

I have 17 years teaching experience as an elementary ESL and middle school Spanish teacher in Minnesota with students from about 20 different countries and many language backgrounds. In 2019 I was nominated for Minnesota Teacher of the Year. It makes my day to see students proud of reaching each goal they set out to conquer! I've worked with students on English listening, speaking, reading, vocabulary and phonics goals, as well as language-related content goals (science, math, social studies, etc) in order to improve test-taking skills. While learning, we try to keep things fun with TPR movements, music, mnemonics, game-style learning activities, etc., as it helps our brain remember when we feel at ease. However, I also keep high expectations so students grow as much as possible. That's why my students feel proud of their accomplishments - they worked hard and earned it!

Frequently Asked Questions

At the 3rd grade level, reading comprehension in Spanish involves understanding narrative structure, identifying main ideas, and making connections between texts. A tutor can work with your child to build foundational skills like phonetic awareness in Spanish, sight word recognition, and vocabulary development—all of which directly support understanding what they read.

Personalized 1-on-1 instruction allows tutors to select texts at your child's level, ask guided questions to deepen understanding, and provide immediate feedback. This targeted approach helps students move beyond word-by-word decoding to truly comprehending stories and informational texts in Spanish.

A one-on-one learning environment is ideal for reluctant speakers because there's no peer pressure and the tutor can adapt the pace to your child's comfort level. A tutor creates low-pressure opportunities for conversation—through storytelling, role-play activities, games, and discussion about topics your child enjoys.

Regular speaking practice with immediate, supportive feedback helps students internalize correct pronunciation and grammar naturally, rather than through worksheets. Over time, this consistent, judgment-free practice builds confidence and fluency. Many students who are hesitant in classroom settings become much more expressive when working one-on-one with a tutor.

Effective grammar instruction at this level balances explicit rules with natural usage. Rather than memorizing conjugation charts, tutors help students understand grammar in context—through reading stories, discussing how sentences are constructed, and writing about familiar topics.

Personalized tutoring means your child can focus on their specific challenges—whether that's verb conjugation, gender agreement, or sentence structure. A tutor guides students through the writing process (brainstorming, drafting, revising) while building grammatical awareness organically. This combination of scaffolded instruction and practical application helps 3rd graders internalize grammar patterns that stick.

Research on language learning shows that spaced repetition and retrieval practice—encountering words over time in different contexts—are far more effective than memorizing word lists. A tutor incorporates vocabulary into conversations, stories, and activities your child finds engaging, which strengthens memory and makes words meaningful rather than abstract.

Personalized instruction allows tutors to identify which words are most important for your child's interests and learning needs, then weave them into lessons repeatedly. When vocabulary is learned through context and used in speaking and writing practice, retention improves dramatically.

Absolutely. At the 3rd grade level, cultural context enriches language learning and makes it more meaningful. Tutors often incorporate stories, holidays, traditions, and perspectives from Spanish-speaking cultures into lessons, helping students understand that language is deeply connected to culture.

Exposure to cultural elements—whether through authentic children's literature, discussions about different Spanish-speaking countries, or learning about traditions—gives students richer language input and helps them appreciate the diversity of Spanish speakers worldwide. This context-based learning approach supports both language skills and cultural awareness.

An effective Spanish ELA tutor for 3rd graders should be fluent in Spanish and understand elementary-level language development—including how children acquire reading, writing, speaking, and listening skills in a second language. They should be able to explain grammar naturally (not just memorized rules) and create engaging, age-appropriate lessons that keep students motivated.

Look for someone with experience teaching young learners and who can tailor instruction to your child's pace and learning style. Varsity Tutors connects you with tutors who specialize in 3rd grade Spanish ELA and understand how to make language learning interactive and fun.

With consistent personalized tutoring, you'll likely notice growth across all four language skills: improved reading fluency and comprehension, more confident speaking and conversation abilities, clearer writing with better grammar and organization, and stronger listening comprehension. Many students show visible progress in 4-6 weeks, though the timeline depends on your child's starting point and tutoring frequency.

Beyond academics, you may also notice increased confidence, better attitude toward language learning, and more enthusiasm for reading and writing in Spanish. Regular practice with a dedicated tutor accelerates progress that might take much longer in a classroom setting alone.
