I highly recommend Sharilyn to anyone seeking a Spanish tutor. I am in my early 50's and have had many teachers and tutors in my lifetime and she is one of the very best. She is an extremely bright and accomplished woman, highly educated with a natural gift and passion for languages, yet she is warm, encouraging, approachable, and friendly. If you work hard, you will progress quickly with her. She uses a variety of teaching tools to keep your interest peaked in the lesson and she is very open to what and how you want to learn---she is great at individualizing the teaching. She has augmented our lessons with various books, including poetry (a passion of mine), Spanish magazines and newspapers, BINGO games when learning the numbers (great fun!), magnetic word games, etc...She has an infectious love of Spanish and has lived in Spanish-speaking countries and is completely fluent. She is very patient, energetic, reliable, fun--laughs and smiles a lot. My one-hour lessons whip by quickly always. I especially like how she works with what YOU want to cover and she is very open to you selecting the materials you're most comfortable with. I have worked with Sharilyn nearly seven months now and couldn't be more pleased. The lessons have added something fun and challenging and enriching to my life, and have broadened my understanding of a culture rich in history, poetry, art, music, and dance--a culture quickly blending with my own.

Jessica B has tutored my high school aged daughter in both chemistry and biology. She is extremely patient, and thorough when she covers material. Her explanations are clear and my daughter felt extremely comfortable asking her to explain further if necessary. Her level of care and concern over how my daughter did on a test or a lab was phenomenal. She always emailed to find out how it went. She went over the tests and quizzes with my daughter once she got them back. She emailed with a teacher when necessary. She helped my daughter learn how to study and guided her in making her study notes and flash cards. She was always accessible to me by email, as well as accessible to my daughter whenever she had a question. I recommend her without hesitation. She was responsible for helping my daughter get through some of the hardest material she ever tackled.
