About Simon
Simón Sedillo is a Professional Partner with the Earlham College’s Border Studies Program based out of Tucson, Arizona, USA. Sedillo is also a community rights defense organizer, filmmaker, educator, artist, and the author of a creative non-fiction geopolitics and political economy textbook used in U.S. universities and high schools. For the last 15 years, Sedillo has been teaching geopolitics and political economy. Sedillo has contributed to the production of a wide variety of documentary films and investigative articles whose central focus is making current and historical events understandable and accessible to a broad audience. I am a US citizen of Mexican and Native descent who lived and worked in Mexico for over 20 years. I teach and lecture in geopolitics and political economy in both English and Spanish and worked as an independent journalist for 23 years. I also speak French and Italian and am able to help French and Italian speakers with their Spanish proficiency as well. I have been in rural and urban environments as well as formal business and informal street and or work environments which can be particular for what exactly students are trying to learn and for what reason.

My lessons are for beginner and intermediate level learners inside or outside an academic setting. I cater to individuals seeking practical Spanish for day-to-day use, but also am prepared to help with high school and 1st and 2nd year college level classes. I also specialize in workplace Spanish for employers, managers, business owners and employees wishing to better communicate with co-workers and or employees. Finally, I also specialize in Mexican Spanish including regional slang and colloquialisms for travelers and people wishing to study or do business in Mexico or with Mexicans. This can be very useful as books, apps and academic courses fall short on the day-to-day Spanish spoken in different parts of Mexico including jokes, double entendres and how to be careful with saying what, where and when. Lessons: -At the beginner level I focus on vocabulary, basic grammar, and sentence composition. -At the intermediate level I use conversational role play, listening exercises, and music to keep lessons interesting and vibrant. -I am also able to help with homework assignments and keeping students ahead of the curve with regards to goals and expectations set by high school or college instructors. -I keep things light and fun, all while keeping my students on task and moving forward at a progressive pace.

Perfect! Simon has been an absolutely excellent spanish teacher. Not only does he make you feel comfortable and confident in your own abilities, but his pedagogy is extremely effective in helping you reach your language goals. He understands the necessary building blocks to achieving conversational fluency and ensures you learn in a way that sets you up for success. If you have the opportunity, please sign up for his tutorship! He is fantastic!
Perfect! Simon is great, we started with discussion about what I want to accomplish, and what is important to me to learn. He understands the cultural nuances and stresses them. An excellent teacher and very easy to learn with! Thank you!
Perfect! Simon is an incredible Spanish tutor! Even after just one class, I’m so impressed. He made me feel comfortable right away with his professional and approachable style. He quickly assessed my level of Spanish and customized the lesson to meet my specific needs. His teaching is clear, engaging, and effective, and I’m already feeling excited and motivated to continue learning and improving. I can’t wait for more lessons with him!
Perfect! Simon is a great teacher. He keeps my 14 year old daughter engaged and provides lots of resources and feedback after each lesson. She likes that he also teaches how to socialize in casual environments rather than only focusing on formal textbook Spanish since we live in Texas. Very good experience all around so far.
- I am teaching Nicole´s daughter Georgia spanish for beginners, and she is a great student. She is super engaged, concentrated , respectful and disciplined. She picks things up super fast and I am excite to see how quickly we move forward. Absolutely pleasant student all around.Simon's response :

Recommendations

I have known Simon for about 10 years now and first met him through student organization events and activities when I was at the University of Washington -Seattle. He had an established rapport with alumni and upperclassmen and I believe that is was through his consistent communication and planning that he was able to do this. Through his deep and experiential knowledge in geopolitics, neoliberalism and grassroots liberation, Simon has been a backbone in empowering students of color at different institutions across the United States in developing their voice and skills in student organizing and engagement, while teaching. If you are looking for a Superprof who is creative and assertive in investigating topics of self-determination and autonomy then you are assured that working with Simon will hit this mark.
Simon was a guest teacher in my classroom and proved to be very helpful to my students, carefully explaining context and leading thoughtful discussions. He is fully bilingual and has outstanding English and Spanish oral and written skills, and he keeps the topic lively and interesting.
I met Simon while I was an undergrad in college at UW-Madison; he was hired by a student organization to come and give a presentation on his journalistic work regarding self defense groups within Mexico. Simon knows how to articulate himself very well at the higher educational level. I have learned so much from his passionate delivery.
I've had the pleasure to both attend Simon's lectures and bring him to my own communities to teach. My favorite aspect of Simon's teaching style is his emphasis on relationships. Simon recognizes that the best way to learn is to have the freedom to curiously explore various perspectives of a topic or event. Not only is Simon knowledgeable enough to facilitate this line of inquiry, but he also dedicates time and effort to build trust with his students. Simon is an extraordinary teacher and it is an honor to learn from him; I can't recommend him enough.
I learned more from Simon in one summer program than in all of my undergrad combined. He’s an expert in his field and is able to communicate complex ideas and information in an understandable, engaging, and relevant way. It’s also obvious that he loves what he does, which makes learning from him enjoyable and inspiring.
Simón is an incredible professor because of his dedication to his students and commitment to collective liberation. He brings a range and in depth expertise in different socio-political movements and history, while being to share such knowledge fluently in both English and Spanish. I can’t recommend him as a professor enough!
I have known Simon Sedillo for over 15 years in professional settings. As a Veteran Teacher and Juvenile Attorney with an expertise in the US criminal justice system, I find Simon to be one of the best presenters, lecturers and political thinkers that I have even hosted in my classroom. Simon can break down challenging concepts and put them into a perspective that young people or newly emerging academics can understand, process and develop. Simon is extraordinarily intelligent and experienced in his field. Not many writers and lecturers have lived the experience they write about. Simon has done this. He has always been honest, compelling, and has a level of dedication to his students and followers that is genuine. I promise that with Simon Sedillo as your Professor or Tutor, you will gain knowledge and wisdom that will enhance and possibly change the way you view and experience the world in a good way! I give him my highest and best recommendation.
