With a Master's degree from TAI School, and having taught two courses there since 2024, I now offer one-on-one tutoring to help you improve your writing and let your ideas take flight. And all in English. As an American with real-world Hollywood production experience (on films like The Neon Demon and the Oscar-winning Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri), I bring not only a solid foundation in narrative and storytelling, but also practical insight into how your writing influences production, performance, and even financing.

Having lived in Spain for almost a decade has given me a global perspective on film and a deep understanding of international and cultural narrative paradigms. With three short films screened at international festivals (and a fourth premiering this year), I can confidently guide you toward stronger, clearer, and producible writing that stands out and, hopefully, comes to fruition. Not confident in your English? No problem! With extensive experience teaching the language, I'll also help you with translation (from Spanish, of course) so your writing style becomes more fluid and natural.

This class is designed for intermediate and advanced students who want to strengthen their Spanish writing skills, improve their literary analysis, and learn to express themselves clearly in academic or legal contexts.

I focus on helping students write stronger essays, understand complex texts, and use Spanish in a precise and sophisticated way. Whether you are working on university assignments, literary commentary, formal writing, or specialized legal terminology, I provide clear explanations, examples, and step-by-step guidance.

We will work on:

• Essay structure and argumentation
• Grammar and stylistic refinement
• Literary analysis and close reading
• Understanding advanced vocabulary and idiomatic expressions
• Legal and academic Spanish writing
• Editing, reviewing, and improving your assignments

Each lesson is personalized to the student’s level and goals, ensuring steady progress and clear, confident Spanish communication.
