About Trudy

I originally pursued my Bachelor's degree in Spanish in order to be a Spanish to English translator (which I still do from time to time, usually translating legal documents and contracts into English), but it was while I was earning my degree that I got my first experience with tutoring. My German professor recommended that I apply to work as a peer tutor for my university, and although I had my doubts, I figured it certainly couldn't hurt to try. I was surprised when they hired me on the spot, and I found the work much more rewarding than I'd expected. After graduation, I mostly focused on building my career as a translator, but found the work to be unreliable and spotty. It was by chance that I came across an ad for an online tutoring agency, and - as with my experience at the university - figured I might as well apply and see what happened! Again, I was hired quickly after submitting my credentials and going through the interview and "audition" process, and I've been tutoring ever since! Moreover, I've come to find that I enjoy it quite a bit more than translation, and it is now my primary career focus. I love helping people to learn a new language or to raise their grades, and I can honestly say that this is the best job I've ever had! More about my history and experience: I started teaching myself German when I was in seventh grade, which was when I first discovered my passion for foreign language. Over the years, I've dabbled in a few other languages - French, Russian, Old English, and Ancient Greek, to name a few. I took up Spanish in high school - Spanish 1 my junior year, followed by Spanish 2 for the first few weeks of my senior year until my teacher recommended that I move ahead to Spanish 3. I've traveled to Spain, and studied abroad in Mexico while earning my Bachelor's degree in Spanish. I ultimately received my Bachelor's degree in Spanish in 2018 with a minor in German, and successfully completed a certificate program with my university for Spanish translation and interpretation in 2019.

I teach Spanish privately or offer help for students who are currently enrolled in Spanish classes and struggling with the material. Lessons are based on the individual needs of each student and may cover anything from conversation practice to grammar. While I myself am fairly talented with foreign language, I'm also very sensitive to the struggles involved in learning one, and more often than not I'm able to guess which concepts will be particularly challenging. I've also had great success with explaining these difficult topics in such a way that the student is able to understand them. Furthermore, I'm infinitely patient with students who are having a hard time, and always encourage them to keep asking questions, even if they've asked me the same one a hundred times! Sometimes hearing something explained a different way or seeing certain examples are just what someone needs for it to finally make sense, and I'm more than happy to put in the work!
