“I have seen Spanish tutoring work for countless students who find themselves struggling to learn or remember elements of the language. Regular tutoring sessions throughout a semester or school year keep the student on target, although some students prefer to meet before major tests or assignments. Tutoring is also ideal for the independent learner who wants to learn Spanish for their career or for personal development.”

“Bryant met with my son once a week. They got along great and my son earned an A in the course. He couldn’t have done it without Bryant’s help.” - Nancy A, mother of a high school student.
“I would definitely recommend getting tutoring with Bryant. He helped me during my summer class and was a life saver!” - Lauren L, LSU student.
“I had studied Spanish with Rosetta Stone because I wanted to learn Spanish for my job. Meeting with Bryant has really helped because he explains the material and pushes me to study and practice.” - Michael S, attorney.
“My daughter struggled in Spanish 1 and she was extremely nervous about taking Spanish 2. Fortunately she started meeting with Bryant early in the school year and did so well in the class that she’s already signed up for Spanish 3. We will definitely continue to meet with Bryant.” - Judy F, mother of a high school student.
“I had to pass a language requirement for grad school. Bryant was really helpful and did a great job of explaining the material. He made our sessions fun.” - Matthew B, graduate student.
