Your Success Motivates Me!
Spanish is my first language. I am from Mexico and have lived in the US since 1984. I have always enjoyed teaching, and I have been doing it for over 30 years. I was only 17 years old when I started my first part-time position as a teacher, teaching various adult classes in Guadalajara, Mexico.
I have extensive experience teaching beginner, intermediate, advanced, and conversational Spanish to adults, teens, and younger children, in both group settings and private tutoring. My classes are f…
Testimonials
Ashley M. from Houston, TX I am a teacher here in Houston and Claudia is helping me gain proficiency in the Spanish language. I highly recommend Claudia! She is a skilled educator and she has a kind and positive personality. I couldn't have asked to find a better Spanish teacher! I must admit that before we first met, I was a little nervous to begin working with someone in my home. I have never tried anything like this before; however, the moment Claudia greeted me at my door, I was put at ease! She is incredibly easy to follow and a pleasure to work with during lessons. Most importantly, she makes sure that lessons proceed with a natural flow and at an appropriate pace so that I am challenged, but successful. She is very in tune with my needs and is helping me to improve my Spanish by leaps and bounds! I would recommend Claudia to any of my personal students or colleagues at school and I recommend her to you as well.
Jin G. from Houston, TX I only had three sessions with Ms. Claudia so far, but we've already covered basics, some grammar, and about 70 vocabulary words. An hour goes by really fast. She has many exercises that help you memorizing vocabulary and pronunciation. She is very patient, organized, enthusiastic, professional, and always on time. I'd recommend her to my friends and I'm looking forward to having many more sessions with her. She is the best Spanish tutor!!
Robyn H. from Houston, TX I have been working with Mrs. Claudia for a few weeks now and she has been awesome! Very patient and calming personality! I'm very excited to have found a Spanish tutor like Mrs. Claudia!
Guadalupe C. from Houston, TX I really recommend Claudia as a ESL teacher. She is really patient and supportive, I've been taking ESL lesson for a long time but never got confidence with speaking, with Claudia it was the first time I felt I improved my confidence in the language. She never pushed me too much or made me feel I couldn't speak English. Thank you Claudia!
Emir K. from Houston, TX Claudia is a great English tutor. She keeps the conversation and exercises at exactly the right level to help me improve. She is very patient, kind, and strives to identify my strengths and we work on my weaknesses. She provided me lots of practice material and would go through my answers before the day of class. I look forward to each lesson with her. Thank you, Claudia.
Peter D. from Cypress, TX Claudia is very professional and thorough in her tutoring sessions. She has been working with my two daughters over the course of the summer and keeps them focused and on track for the two hour duration of their lessons. But more importantly, my girls have not only improved their ability to speak Spanish, but they are also enthusiastic about learning a new language. I recommend Claudia without reservation.
Tri N. from Cypress, TX Claudia is an excellent tutor. She is very professional, enthusiastic, and organized. She has been teaching introductory Spanish to our two children starting this summer (2013). She uses a variety of ways to make lessons interesting and effective and the children love it. They are always looking forward to weekly lessons with her. They even start talking with each other in Spanish... Absolutely recommended!
Kristin R. from Houston, TX I have had the pleasure of working with Claudia for the past couple months with tutoring in both Spanish as well as ESL. She teaches two classes for me at my place of business to create a better relationship between employees and break down the borders so all associates can communicate better with each other. From the very first class, I have been impressed with Claudia?s professionalism as well as the amount of care she puts in to each and every student. I have about 8 students in the ESL class and 4 in the Spanish class. Claudia has always been very attentive to their specific needs while also engaging the entire class. You can tell by the way she teaches how passionate she is about what she does and it really shows in the student?s faces as they walk out of the classroom. She has a great heart and is always willing to go at the pace the students set. I could not be happier about having Claudia as our tutor. I am so thankful that we were able to find someone as amazing as her!
Neill M. from Richmond, TX Claudia is from the Jalisco area of Mexico. I have spent quite a bit of time in Latin America, and believe me, there are differences in grammar, usage, etc., in the various countries. My wife and I plan to move to the Lake Chapala (Jalisco) area in the spring. Claudia is the perfect instructor for us.
Heather S. from Houston, TX My son absolutely loves working with Senora Claudia. In just two sessions, he has fallen in love with the language and proactively does his homework every day. I could not be more pleased. Muchas gracias!
Malcom D. from Houston, TX Claudia is both enthusiastic and very organized. She is of course also very knowledgeable about Spanish. She is punctual and has a plan for each session, while still being flexible enough to adjust if you want to take the lesson in a different direction. I am an adult learning Spanish for myself, and I have found her tutoring to be very helpful.
Angela S. from Houston, TX Claudia has tutored my son weekly since the beginning of this semester for Spanish II. She is reliable and patient. On one occasion he could not access his book on his tablet, and she filled in with activities and helped him prepare for his test. She has a variety of strategies to help the student understand, and she always brings tools with her to aid in teaching. He has improved his average by a letter grade in a subject that is not easy for him. She has made all the difference for my son this semester, and although he was not crazy about the idea of having a Spanish tutor every week in the beginning, I think he now looks forward to his weekly tutoring.
Beverley G. from Houston, TX Claudia is a wonderful teacher. She is very patient and has a great sense of humor. I feel I have learned a lot in such a short time. I thoroughly enjoy my lessons and look forward to next week. She only goes at the pace I want and doesn't rush me at all. Excellent tutor!
Ruth R. from Katy, TX It was a complete pleasure meeting Mr. Claudia. My husband and I were very happy with her approach and technique of tutoring. Cody, was very excited about her as well following the tutoring session. We look forward to working with her, and would hope that she will continue as his spanish tutor through the end of his sophmore year. Definitely a 5 star tutor and personality to match. Thank you WyzAnt, and Ms. Claudia for helping us out. Ruth, Abraham & Cody
Jennifer N. from Cypress, TX We are enjoying our lessons with Claudia. My kids like her very much and are already showing off their new skills.
Neda K. from Houston, TX We are happy with the way Claudia teaches and we would like to continue with her lessons. She is punctual and she always informs us ahead if there is any change in the schedule. She is patient. She always takes time to make sure to finish her discussion, even though it would take a few more minutes beyond the hour. Overall, we are very happy with her and we would highly recommend her. Neda and Sara

Evgenia R. from Katy, TX Claudia is a wonderful tutor, very understanding and always very responsive. I started taking Spanish classes with Claudia about 3 months ago and didn't know a word in Spanish. I started reading in Spanish already after our 2nd class and now I can keep a basic conversation for about 15-20 minutes. I like Claudia's personal attitude to the student and feel very at ease with her. I would recommend Claudia as a great teacher to everyone who is willing to start learning Spanish!
Melissa S. from Houston, TX I discovered Claudia on the Wyzant website and she has far succeeded my expectations. I am an adult who needed to speak, read and write Spanish. She has been very thorough with me and takes her time explaining things. I would recommend her or anyone who needs an in home tutor. Soft spoken and always eager to please. If you have a child or adult that needs to learn she would be my number one pick!!!
Alex L. from Houston, TX Claudia has been a private tutor for two of my children more than a year. She is patient, systematic, and progressive based on students' own degree of mastering. She is always prepared and prompt on each lesson. My children have been enjoying her lectures as well as improved their Spanish skills a lot. She has encouraged my children to open eyes for another language and culture. I will highly recommend her to anyone.
Theresa M. from Houston, TX With the help of Claudia's tutoring our son raised his grade from Spanish I to Spanish II one full letter.
Will O. from Houston, TX Claudia is an excellent tutor!! She has been helping me with an online college Spanish course that I am taking. I couldn't do it without her since I am trying to teach myself some very difficult material. She is very helpful, friendly, and always on time!
Flora A. from Houston, TX Claudia ia a wonderful teacher. She is very kind, very patient, and very understanding. She has been helping my nephew and niece who came to America three months ago. They love her and they have learned a lot from her. We wish her a lot of success and thank her for her hard work.
Jia G. from Houston, TX We have been very pleased with Claudia's services. She is patient, organized, knowledgeable, and put our five year old at ease from the first session. She is always equipped with a variety of materials in order to keep the student engaged. She assesses where the student is and begins working with them on their current level. We are confident that with Claudia's help, our son will learn Spanish and eventually become bilingual, which we believe will be an asset in his future success. My husband and I know we have chosen the best tutor, and look forward to a long and satisfying working relationship.
Sandra H. from Houston, TX My son needed help with his spanish and we are very happy we got Ms. Claudia to work with him. He is a lot more confident with the language and his scores in school have improved. He feels that Ms. Claudia is very patient with him, and she also works very hard to help him to be successful. He will be doing spanish again next year, and I will definitely use Ms. Claudia again if we need to.
Robby S. from Houston, TX Claudia es excelente! She has helped me so much. I needed someone to practice with it, and she has done that, and more. She is a very structured, and organized person. She implements new ways to make the lesson fun, and relevant. One word summary: Excellent!
Garrett W. from Houston, TX Claudia is a great tutor! Very professional, organized, and always on time. Claudia always has supplemental vocabulary as well as the lesson plan in the book. Very flexible in helping you reach your specific goals for Spanish. As my girlfriend is a nurse, she was able to tailor her sessions toward Spanish in the medical profession, while at the same time teaching me Spanish for business. A native speaker, she has been able to help me quite a bit with my pronunciation, as well as demonstrating the difference in accents from around the Spanish speaking world. Would definitely recommend!
Catherine C. from Houston, TX Great tutor. I would recommend her to anyone. Very patient. She worked very well with my 10 year old daughter.
