I am moving to northern California next month and need help figuring out how to locate an in-home Spanish tutor for my 7-year old daughter who will be starting second grade.

I am hoping to find a tutor to come to our home so that she can continue her study of Spanish and not lose what she has learned so far. Since my daughter is already fluent, I am hoping for someone who can do more than just teach Spanish (ie. teach other subjects *in* Spanish, which is what they were doing in the immersion school). I'm just not sure where to start looking. Is there a professional site like ProZ but geared to language educators? Does anyone have any tips or suggestions?Collapse

Regarding finding a a professional Spanish tutor, I am sure you wil

Regarding finding a a professional Spanish tutor, I am sure you will be able to find one once you are there, because you wil meet people who you can ask, you can also put an add in a local newspaper, etc.

Good luck!
