Focused Spanish Tutoring for Los Altos Students
From first-year fundamentals to AP-level literary analysis, we help Los Altos students build genuine fluency and academic confidence in Spanish with the personal attention that family-focused learning demands.
Spanish Skills We Teach in Los Altos
Every Spanish student gets a plan built around what they actually need, aligned with Los Altos coursework and the proficiency goals families care about most.
Conversational Spanish & Fluency Where Most Families Start
Speaking practice, listening comprehension, and pronunciation work focused on real-world fluency. Los Altos families often want their students to do more than pass a test. We build the confidence and natural expression that turns classroom knowledge into a skill they can actually use in conversation.
AP Spanish Language & Culture
Interpersonal and presentational communication, cultural comparisons, and timed exam practice. Los Altos students pursue AP Spanish with strong academic expectations, and we help them master the skills that earn top scores while building lasting fluency.
AP Spanish Literature & Culture
Literary analysis, thematic essays, and close reading of canonical Spanish-language texts. One of the most demanding AP courses offered, and Los Altos students benefit from a tutor who can guide them through complex works with interpretive depth and clarity.
Grammar & Composition
Verb conjugation, sentence structure, written expression, and style. The foundational skills that make every level of Spanish stronger. Even students performing well in Los Altos classrooms often carry grammar gaps that hold back their writing and speaking.
Reading Comprehension & Cultural Literacy
Active reading strategies, vocabulary in context, and cultural knowledge that deepens understanding. We build the habits that help students engage with authentic Spanish-language texts with genuine comprehension and critical thinking.
Spanish for Beginners
A strong start for students new to the language. We build a genuine foundation in pronunciation, basic grammar, and vocabulary that sets Los Altos students up for long-term success rather than just short-term memorization.
