Patient, dedicated and passionate about teaching and learning.

I am a native Spanish speaker who loves to teach Spanish because as a Romance language, I feel it is such a rich and beautiful language. I have a degree in journalism from the University of Florida because I love to write and I wanted to become fully bilingual in English. While I was a student, I worked as a Spanish tutor and a translator.

I'm currently teaching Spanish at the United Methodist Preschool in Sandy Springs. I am also tutoring middle and high school students and I meet with small groups of adults, as well as teaching professional adults.

My hourly fee includes assisting the student by answering any questions she or he may have over the phone or by email during the week we meet.

I am currently re-arranging my schedule to provide tutoring to students that need help preparing for final exams and for summer sessions.

Writing

Writing has been my passion since I was a little girl; therefore, I obtained a degree in Journalism at the University of Florida.

I am currently working at Kumon, assisting children with math and reading, as well as teaching and tutoring Spanish.

I enjoy very much working with children and helping them to do well in writing, reading or Spanish. I like to make sure the student understand that writing is discovering his or her voice that wants to be expressed in paper.Read More

Great Tutor — Yvette was very patient with me and was able to provide me with study notes to increase my vocabulary. She was always on time and able to be reached when I needed her.
