I have a (hot) tutor here in Dallas. She showed me a book called :

"Conversacion y Repaso"

Best book I have seen. Is kinda intermediate ... but explains VERY well in English .. then several good exercises

I like the idea of a hot tutor in Dallas, or anywhere, actually.

Did you also mention something about a book?...

I have a Spanish tutor for 2 hours every Friday morning in St. Louis; she is from Chile orginally. I supplement that with 15 CDs from www.learnspanish.com; some of that website is free but there is a premium service to get the CD's and access to the premium site www.caminodelexito.com. Wile Coyote

And I forgot, she also recommends an intermediate book (200 pages or so) called Breaking Out of Beginner's Spanish by Joseph J. Keenan and published by University of Texas Press (Austin). Wile Coyote
