Spanish tutoring supports introductory to intermediate level subjects in Spanish. For introductory level students, we cover topics of varying levels of difficulty-students receive help on basic grammar questions, such as number and gender agreement between nouns and adjectives, or higher level topics such as the subjunctive or preterit/imperfect, "if" clauses, and the passive voice. At more advanced levels, SMARTHINKING e-structors provide help on short stories, poems and cultural readings, For questions regarding grammatical structure, or for receiving help on short paragraphs or sentences, we encourage students to submit their questions or pre-scheduled sessions with an e-structor. Students may submit longer writing pieces to the Spanish Essay Center where they may choose to receive e-structor responses in English or Spanish. In their responses, e-structors provide comments, suggestions and a road map for the student to follow in improving the essay, but e-structors would not edit, proofread, or "fix" students papers.
