¿Cómo se dice tutor en español?

March 7, 2007 11:05 AM

Anyone in the Seattle know of a good adult Spanish tutor?

I had studied with one teacher I found in Seattle, and I was left very unsatisfied.

I had a high level of fluency after living in Latin American, and now I'm a medium level with the disintegration of my skills without any daily usage in the PNW.

Any references out there for the best Spanish tutor in Seattle?

I have a friend who is a grad student at the university who does work on the side; I don't think she ever looked into tutoring since it would be a potential conflict given that she was teaching undergrad spanish but I know she takes side jobs - typically voiceover work. Since you wouldn't be a student at the uni I would think that wouldn't apply.

Email me at the address in my profile and I'll put you in touch with her.

This isn't a direct answer to your question, but Mixxer is a cool site that uses Skype to connect people who want to learn languages with people who know those languages. So you would pair up with someone who speaks Spanish but is studying English. I haven't used it myself, but it looks like it might be a good way to get back some of that daily, or at least regular, usage.

Good luck.

Mixxer looks neat. Thanks for that. And the University! I can't believe I didn't think of that as a resource.
