Zoom Lessons For JR High

Ms. Laura Zayas is a sought after expert Spanish teacher who specializes in making her Jr High and High School students conversational in Spanish in record time.

Ms. Zayas, was a Spanish high-school teacher for many years at LAUSD. She taught all levels, from Spanish I to AP Spanish. Based on her 12 year experience, she created a great High School Spanish curriculum consisting of several workbooks, hundreds of poster-size color pictures and a complete testing system to assess progress. The lessons are very visual with beautiful, original color artwork and practical exercises. The content of each lesson has been carefully developed so that students can acquire a solid grammar foundation while acquiring strong oral skills.

Ms. Zayas divides her time between Alaska and Long Beach, CA where her office is located. She teaches students primarily by Zoom. By taking a 30 minute Zoom class once a week, her students will learn in one session what traditional high-school students learn in a week. One reason why learning is maximized is because of the pre-planning, which includes initial homework even before the first class. Homework is an integral component and students are expected to study a lot during the week. But no worries because it is always super fun and practical! Students get the Spanish lessons ahead of time in pdf by email. Completed homework is sent back by the student a day before class by email or text. Another important reason for her successful teaching is that she removes the clutter of the unnecessary, outlining the essentials to her students’ learning with delightful and engaging lessons.

The class stresses oral communication using the immersion method where Spanish is used at all times. Creativity is preferred over perfection. Ms. Zayas maintains corrections to a minimum so that the students’ thought process is not interrupted. The way she corrects is by letting students finish their idea, and then gently repeating what they have said wrong, in the right way, and then have them repeat it twice. Jr High and High School students LOVE their Zoom sessions. They think it is so cool because it is possible to write and use emojis and speak freely without being overcorrected. There is never a dull moment in class because the class exercises revolve about them: their life, family, friends and hobbies. Ms. Zayas has the ability to connect with teenagers and pre-teens very well. She always customizes the instruction to adapt to students' different abilities and interests. She has the ability to instill a lifelong passion for Spanish.

In approximately 36 Zoom sessions (30 min) her students can expect to finish Spanish I. Students know that to achieve fluency in this important language, these once-a-week Spanish lessons need to be supplemented by constant review.

Since her teaching reputation is so important and because she is obsessed about stellar customer service, she is very selective who she works with.

“If your looking for the Best Spanish Tutor, look no further. Laura's the one. Laura helped my daughter improve her Spanish grade from a "D" to a "B" in 3 months which is amazing!!! Laura's 3 weekly Zoom sessions worked very well with my daughter. After initial testing of my daughter's Spanish knowledge, Laura put together focused homework assignments which gave my daughter the knowledge to better understand her high school Spanish. I highly recommend Laura at Spanish-4-You to help you learn Spanish. Thank you Laura for all your hard work with my daughter.”

“There aren't enough stars to give for the work Laura has done with my son. He started with her with no confidence in his Spanish after taking 2 years at school. Within a few sessions he started to feel better. As the sessions continued he not only felt better but even commented how he appreciated Laura. She has been able to relate to him on his level, which he loves. He now even uses Spanish at home without being asked.”

“My children, students, and I have had the opportunity to work with Laura Zayas and her company Spanish-4-You over the past four years. ·She is an outstanding teacher who is passionate about her subject matter and very dedicated to her students. She makes learning fun and her lessons and curriculum help to accelerate learning in a short amount of time. My children were speaking Spanish to one another and their classmates in a short period of time and embraced the subject as their favorite one to study. As a director of a program I appreciate Laura's enthusiasm and energy that she exudes to bring the language to life. She makes it manageable and doable for all! Her curriculum lessons are put together with great care, organization and easy to follow. The colorful design and layout invite the learner to engage and embrace the new language experience.”

“A successful student is a true reflection of their teacher. My daughter would not have thrived so well in Spanish had not Laura been so challenging & encouraging throughout her 2 years of teaching Spanish 1, in class & Spanish 2, through FaceTime/phone. I'm so thankful for all the time & wisdom that Laura has poured into Avery.”

I know from experience that the first year of any language is very important and without a solid understanding you quickly fall behind and are unable to catch up again. Your Spanish-4-You program has made Spanish for my sons fun, interesting and easy to learn.”
