Hannah Teaching Spanish for A Scene On The Set of Larry Crowne
The Spanish Faculty:
Fernando: (Dept. Chair) Greater Los Angeles Area, Marina Del Rey, Los Feliz
Hola. Mi nombre es Fernando. Born and raised in Buenos Aires, Argentina, I also lived in Amsterdam for a few years before I came to Los Angeles. I have a B. A. in Journalism, and I am also an award-winning writer, teacher, translator and photographer. For the last years I have been teaching Spanish in Buenos Aires and since 2007 I have been teaching Spanish in Los Angeles. I love all aspects of Spanish language and Hispanic culture, and my goal is to help you enjoy them as much as I do.
Hannah: (Spanish + Mandarin) West Los Angeles, Santa Monica, Hollywood
Hi My name is Hannah, I studied Mandarin Chinese (4.0) & Spanish (3.8) at the University of Illinois – Urbana, Champaign. I am Fluent in English, Spanish, and Mandarin. I am a member of the Spanish National Honor Society and winner of the Illinois Taiwan Consortium Fellowship, an experience that allowed me to pursue my studies abroad. I love teaching Spanish language and culture, Mandarin, and academics. My classes are always fresh and creative, in my opinion the learning process should always be a fun and rewarding experience.
Eileen: (Spanish Classes in West Hills, Woodland Hills, Calabasas, Northridge, Chatsworth and Los Angeles Area)
Hola, my name is Eileen, and I have been speaking and studying Spanish for 10 years. I graduated from the University of Washington in 2009 with a Bachelor of Science in Biology: Physiology with a Minor in Spanish and Portuguese Studies. I have fluently practiced my Spanish in the educational setting as well as medical environments, specifically clinics with non-English-speaking patients. Born and raised in the San Fernando Valley, I love to travel, play sports and music. I believe that multilingualism is a key tool in our society today, and learning of other cultures is a great experience!
Rachel - (Spanish Classes in West Hills, Woodland Hills, Calabasas, Northridge, Chatsworth and Los Angeles Area) My name is Rachel Nahmias. My first introduction to Spanish was from my mother, who is from Mexico City. I have always had a passion for languages, especially Spanish. I graduated from the University of Arizona with a Bachelor of Arts in Spanish and Portuguese. My studies were focused on Spanish and Portuguese literature and Latin American culture. After graduating from college, I spent a summer in Mexico City interning for a production company where I translated a major motion picture script from English to Spanish, as well as assisted with the preproduction of the film. I have a year and a half of teaching experience and over two and a half years of tutoring experience, with an emphasis in Spanish.
Andrea: Spanish in Silver Lake, Los Feliz, Pasadena, Altadena Hola. Mi nombre es Andrea. I was born and raised in Southern California in a bilingual and bicultural home. My father is from Bogota, Colombia and my mother is from Burbank, California. Growing up, English was the primary language in our home however Spanish was spoken often, especially when relatives would come to visit from Colombia and Spain (or when we would visit them!). This background instilled a desire to study Spanish throughout high school and go on to minor in Spanish during my undergraduate years at the University of San Diego. While in college I had the opportunity to spend a semester abroad at La Fundación José Ortega y Gasset in Toledo, Spain. I completed courses in Spanish history, architecture, art history, conversation, grammar, and literature. I also traveled extensively throughout Spain and spent a great deal of time with my aunt who lives near Gerona. I have been back to Spain many times since my semester abroad. My love of the country grows with each trip. I hold a Bilingual Clear Multiple Subject California State teaching credential from the University of San Diego and a Masters in Art Education from The School of The Art Institute of Chicago. I have taught first/second grade Spanish Bilingual (La Jolla Elementary, La Jolla) and fourth grade Spanish bilingual (Balboa Elementary, San Diego). When not helping others learn Spanish, I am the Art Teacher for Gabriella Charter School in Echo Park. I enjoy working with all ages and I specialize in the instruction of school-age children. I hope to meet you soon! ¡Espero conocerle pronto!
Teresa: Spanish classes in Hollywood, West Hollywood, Los Feliz Hola, I am originally from Guatemala, Central America. I have taught Spanish in private schools in Los Angeles from Pre-school through High School, including Spanish-Honors, SAT II-Spanish preparation and AP Spanish. Besides the grammatical teacher training, I also have been trained in "The Natural Method" of language communication. I believe it is necessary to learn cultural behavior when we are going to interact with, or travel to a different country, so I enjoy including some of the colorful, diverse and rich every-day music, paintings, poems, tongue twisters, history, food and even art projects in my classes. In a small group, or one on one setting, it is easy to identify the styles of learning the student has, so I adapt to it. I love my culture and I love teaching, I like to laugh, smile, talk... but mostly I am looking forward hearing you speak and sing in Spanish to me.
Hector: (mid-wilshire currently on hiatus) Hola. Mi nombre es Hector. My first language is Spanish; however, I learned English at the age of 5. I am a dual citizen of the United States and Mexico. I have lived in Mexico, New York City and Los Angeles. I have a B. A. In child development and a teaching credential in elementary education from C.S.U.L.A. Teaching experience includes my time with Strommen Tutoring and 10 years in the bilingual program for the L.A.U.S.D. I have also translated legal documents and lyrics for various Spanish recordings. I love teaching; I am also a professional dance instructor and performer. I look forward to helping you achieve your goals with Spanish culture and Language.
Esther - (Spanish Classes in West L.A., Santa Monica, Marina del Rey, Malibu, Los Angeles Area…)
Hola, my name is Esther, I’m from Barcelona but I moved to Los Angeles two years ago with my husband and our lovely cat Minxu. Back in Spain I graduated from the University of Barcelona with a Bachelor of Fine Arts and from the University of Girona with a Master’s Degree in Art Communication, so, as you may have guessed, I love art! My other passion is teaching Spanish. I enjoy preparing fun teaching materials and focusing the lessons on each student’s individual needs and interests. I can’t wait to meet you! Hasta pronto!¿Cómo es su español?”
"Is your Spanish good? Whether you are just beginning in Spanish, or you are an advanced Spanish student, a personalized curriculum and one-on-one attention is the most effective way to see and hear results.
"Entrene su oído."
Train your ear. The most important thing is speaking and listening in Spanish. The best way to do this is by reading texts aloud to develop your own “Spanish ear” while also perfecting your accent. When you read it is as if you are speaking the language perfectly, and the more you speak the more confident you will become in your Spanish skills. Not only will you learn ‘textbook Spanish’ but also the all-important Spanish idioms, slang, and colloquialisms. At Strommen Tutoring we find it amazing that these terms are seldom taught even though they can be the most commonly used.
"Leamos! Escribamos! y... Hablemos Español! El Método Multilateral."
Let’s read, write, and talk: the ‘multilateral’ approach. At Strommen Tutoring we believe in a ‘multilateral’ approach to learning languages. The most noticeable results come from learning like a native Spanish speaker would. We will use a variety of texts, from comic books to works of philosophy and original language drama. We will use reading exercises, unique writing exercises, and oral exercises we have developed through research and application. Therefore we will engage your Spanish ‘right brain’ through conversation and listening but we will also employ your ‘left brain’ advantageously.
"Necesita Ayuda?"
Need help? Maybe all you need is a little help -or a lot! If you are taking an online course, or are in a group class, we can help you with conversational Spanish, accent coaching, oral exam prep, written exam prep, Spanish grammar, Spanish history, Spanish Philosophy, culture, and written assignments.
"Hasta pronto, Espero un próximo reencuentro!"
