Spanish Tutors (Fall 2023)

Tutor's Name Email Address Notes
Anja Field aef9fu@virginia.edu

I am a fourth-year Spanish major and have studied Spanish for 10+ years.  I just returned from a semester abroad in Valencia, Spain and have reached a fluent level of Spanish speaking and understanding.  Furthermore, I have teaching experience from tutoring Spanish-to-English in the past.  Having learned Spanish as a second language, I understand the struggles you may be facing and know how to explain the nuances and theories to you in ways that made sense to me and my peers, since the languages can be quite different!  I am very passionate about languages and would love to have the opportunity to help you!  As a current undergraduate student, I understand we have hectic schedules and I am very flexible with my meeting times, so please feel free to contact me and we can set up a time to meet.

Maria Jorquera Hervas mj5ne@virginia.edu

I am a native speaker from Valencia, Spain. With an overall experience teaching languages for 14 years, I came to the United States to teach Spanish at College level through the Fulbright Program. Please visit my profile to see all the courses taught at UVA. I bring enthusiasm to the learning process – I try to make learning fun, and students often describe me as a helpful, encouraging and approachable instructor.  I love working with students and making sure they understand the material fully. Ultimately, they get inspired to study abroad and practice their Spanish!
