Italian-Spanish Instructor: 20 Years of experience and degrees

Adriana B.

Hello,

I have a BA in English, an MA in Education with a minor in Language Teaching. I also hold a doctorate in Italian and Spanish. I´d be more than happy to show my resume upon request. I have taught since 1992 abroad and in the United States. I have taught Spanish at different levels, including Advanced Placement; Italian at at different levels, including Advanced Placement and ESL. I have taught from elementary to college levels. At college level, I have taught Advanced Italian and Culture and Cinema courses as well.

As you can see from the paragraph above, I am an experienced instructor who is interested in helping students in several ways: improving speaking skills, writing, reading, grammar, cultural knowledge, and literature and cinema. I tailor classes to meet students needs. I discuss with students what their needs and goals are and I plan and design my lessons based on what needs to be covered. I use textbooks if they are necessary, but I also enjoy using my own materials. I enjoy using authentic materials. I also know the content that needs to be covered for SAT II Italian or Spanish and Spanish AP and Italian AP classes so I can help students to succeed at those exams. I can work face to face with students, but I also use Skype and other online resources.

Over the last years, I have become very familiar with editing papers, projects and MA dissertations as well. This is something that can easily be arranged online. I specialize in editing academic papers since I know the publishing world very well.

Thank you for your time.
