¡Hola! I am a certified Spanish teacher with over 25 years experience teaching all course levels (Spanish I, Spanish II, Spanish III, Spanish IV). I hold a bachelor’s degree (B.S.) in International Trade/Spanish and a master’s degree (M.Ed.) in Spanish education. In addition to my formal American studies, I have also been an international student in Salamanca, Spain and Puebla, Mexico. Each time I was abroad I lived with a local family, took undergraduate or graduate Spanish courses, and used the language on a daily basis. Later, I also resided in Mexico for a year where I lived independently and communicated with native speakers every day.
As a public school teacher, I worked with both middle and high school students. I found it very rewarding to watch the students grow in their knowledge of the Spanish language and culture, and observe them using it on a regular basis in their day-to-day lives.
I have had extensive experience working with adult learners, both privately and through continuing education classes at Emory University.
As a longtime teacher, I understand that learning a language can be challenging and that not every student learns in the same way. For that reason, I can tailor activities based on the type of learner (visual, auditory, or interactive/kinesthetic) and can explain concepts in a way that each learner is able to understand.
In addition to individual tutoring, I have taught both private one-on-one courses and formal group classes, both online and in person.
Whether you are looking for someone to offer individualized support for a current Spanish class or you have no experience with Spanish and want to learn it for personal or professional reasons, I can help. I’m passionate about Spanish; I truly enjoy sharing my knowledge of the language and culture with others.
