Hello, my name is Austin. After attending Columbia University in NYC, my wife and I have dedicated ourselves to volunteer work. We have been living outside of the USA for about 9 years now in Bolivia. My wife is a native Spanish speaker, and most think I am as well. With help from friends and AWESOME techniques that I came across, I was able to become fluent in Spanish in about a year while in the USA. I feel so bad for so many Americans who spend so much money on Spanish lessons and sti...

My daughter has been struggling in her Spanish class so I decided to give her a tutor. Austin has been very helpful with teaching new ways to study and starting from the basics. He is helping her with the foundation Spanish and her grade has been improving.

Austin is very flexible, reliable, and knowledgeable. My son has been working with him and his confidence with speaking Spanish has increased dramatically in just a few months. He also is able to understand the nuances of the verb conjugations and that is helping him a lot in his class and is excited to currently have an A in Spanish 2 due to Austin's help! Austin also really cares about his students -- he forgot to sign in one day and he messaged us to make sure my son was coming. That was really nice as without that message, he would have totally forgot.

Austin is a patient & extremely capable tutor. I have worked with him for several months & my Spanish is exponentially better. He does an excellent job with explanations & demands the best from his clients. I enjoy all his teaching styles. I am constantly challenged & would not be as capable without his help. No matter your level, if you want to better your Spanish, schedule time with Austin!

Austin taught me so much in such little time! All lessons have helped me further my knowledge in Spanish beyond what I ever thought. I'm not getting tutoring for a class or grade, I'm using these to learn to speak and understand Spanish and Austin is perfect for that

I am in my last college semester. I studied for 16 hours before I took my first Spanish 2 exam. I thought I was prepared until I got a (61) D-! I had no clue how I was going to continue in Spanish 2, because it gets harder each week. Then I found Austin. We've had about 6 tutoring sessions. He is patient and somehow makes the incomprehensible easy to learn. I took my second exam today and improved my grade from a 61 (D-) to an 89 (B+)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I could never have done it without Austin. Now I have the confidence to know I can pass the class with Austin's help and be able to graduate on schedule. If you're struggling with Spanish ... let Austin teach you. I've had a lot of tutors, he's the best!

Thanks to Austin, my son actually enjoys his tutoring lessons. He is also understanding spoken Spanish in class better after only 3 lessons.

Austin did a great job in the first lesson. My son was not very excited about Spanish due to lack of understanding in his HS Spanish class. Austin?s enthusiasm rubbed off on our son. He left the lesson understanding more than he did for first year.
- Jessica D. from Noblesville, IN
In just one lesson we were able to grasp the structure of the language; it makes so much more sense now and before the end of the first session we were speaking Spanish and really understanding what we were doing. We are eager for our next lesson and many after that. After this first lesson my husband and I trust we will be speaking fluently in a matter of a few months. This guy is incredible.
- Arlis S. from Crescent City, CA
I feel like I?m learning a lot, and he is very patient, clear, and helpful. I definitely recommend learning from him.
- Corina S. from Crescent City, CA
Austin is an excellent tutor. Our lessons are well-planned and thought out but he still keeps them flexible to adjust as needed to my pace or to accommodate my questions. I ask way too many questions but Austin is always very patient with them, thoughtful and thorough in his responses, and overall encouraging of my curiosity. He is also very affirming throughout the lesson even when I trip up and make mistakes. Already I've learned so much more than I thought I would have at this point in our lessons and I highly recommend Austin to anyone looking to learn Spanish.

My three kids have been taking lessons with Austin for a few months now. His approach to teaching is different and more effective than any other tutor we have worked with. The kids love his style and enjoy his lessons and are truly grasping an understanding and ability to use a new language.
- Megan A. from Elgin, IL
It was been a pleasure working with Austin. We have probably done 7-8 sessions already and I continue to improve weekly. I would definitely recommend Austin to anyone I know looking to become fluent in Spanish speaking.
- Adam Z. from Riverside, IL
Our first session was great! It was late and I had, had a long day so I must admit I wasn?t really looking forward to it. But at the same time I need tutoring in Spanish so I had to do it. He was funny and engaging. He had patience and I felt comfortable even with my mispronunciations and my struggle he made me feel comfortable. We are working on congregating verbs and vocabulary
- Amanda T. from Brooklyn, NY
My son has had 2 lessons now, and boy does he feel empowered and more confident. Austin immediately identified that my son's teacher had not connected the dots for him, and he was able to pull together everything that my son had learnt in a way that made sense to him. Austin is a firm and persistent teacher and he has challenged my son to believe that with regular practice, he will be able to master the material.
- Therese K. from La Canada Flintridge, CA
I?ve been working with Austin for about a month already, and I really can?t say enough about how much I?ve enjoyed my lessons. He?s a personable tutor whose enthusiasm for teaching Spanish comes through in each session, making the learning process a fun experience for me. The classes are structured and have a clear focus, but Austin also makes time for questions and leaves room to explore topics adjacent to the subject of the day. I?ve found the mix of instruction and open-ended conversation to be a good combination. I would consider myself a beginner/intermediate learner of Spanish, and I already am gaining confidence in my comprehension and speaking abilities. I recommend Austin?s services to anyone trying improve their language skills.
- Brian G. from New York, NY
Austin, has been working with my daughter twice a week for a few weeks and I see my daughter enjoying her tutoring sessions, building confidence in her ability to speak Spanish and doing better in her school work. Austin was very confident from the start that his method would work, so I'm not surprised that she is learning, but what I am surprised about is how much she is enjoying her tutoring sessions. Thank you Austin!

Most of the teachers and tutors i have worked with had a bespoke teaching pattern and they will enforce that pattern uniformly for all students. We are lucky if the pattern matches to the students learning methodology. If not,with each class, the student loses confidence and interest in the subject.Bear in mind, this is no fault of teacher,It is just that student and teacher are not compatible with each other. This is where , I found Austin as a RARE breed and does not enforce any teaching pattern. He first had an hour session with my son and understood where he stands now, where he needs to go & finally how it can be reached with minimal efforts. He understood in the initial few classes itself on the dynamics of my son's learning pattern and tailored his teaching lessons accordingly.The output of this is that my son's confidence in the language grew , he is no longer afraid of the language, improved his foundation and now trying to explore new areas of the language without any inhibition. The byproduct of this is Improved grades. Not often, you come across such an teacher but when you see one, you grab with both hands. Initially, i started with weekly one class and based on my son's request, increased to multiple classes in a week

Austin started out, teaching me some of the basics of learning Spanish. He was very patient and was genuinely hoping that I would pick up the tools that I needed for the language.
- Annette W. from Chicago, IL
Austin makes learning interesting. He is very motivated and has a plan for every lesson and at the same time is able to quickly adjust to the needs of the student.
- Sarah M. from Rochester, WA
Austin is great!! Very patient, engaging and very helpful in helping me improve my Spanish. Each lesson is tailored to me and is always a good mix of new concepts and reviews. Recommend highly!
