5 years experience teaching all levels of High School and Middle School Spanish. Familiar with the local school district curriculum. I concentrate on improving achievement levels on student tests and assessments and have a good track record. I understand the hurdles students encounter when learning a new language, and can identify and assist in problem areas that English speakers encounter when learning Spanish. I am a summa cum laude graduate of Duquesne University in Pennsylvania, have traveled and studied in Spain, and before attending the university, had learned to speak and understand Spanish fluently through interactions with people from Colombia, SA., and so am very familiar with going from English to Spanish language.
