Spanish and Language Arts Teacher/Good with Special Needs

I am a former attorney with an undergraduate degree in Spanish Education from the University of Illinois. I am available to teach elementary, junior high, high school students and college students in Spanish, as well as reading, vocabulary, English and other related subjects. I love to speak Spanish and love to work with children and new students. I have tutored high school and college aged friends for years in Spanish. One college student called me recently to tell me she received an "A" in College Spanish 3 after I tutored her. I am extremely patient and innovative in my teaching style and flexible with my work hours. As the mom of a young adult with Asperger's Syndrome, I am savvy about autism spectrum disorders, ADD and ADHD, and executive function issues--I have seen it all. I would be happy to tutor your student or help you learn a new language. I can get your student to learn!
