I am simply a lover of language and I feel it is my calling to pass what I know onto others. With my unique and new-age approach to language learning, you'll see results in your language mission before you know it! I'm a people person, an educator, a communicator, and a Christ follower.

I have taught languages in the US, Mexico and China. I have taught English as a foreign language, Spanish, and French at all levels from elementary school to the university level. My approach stresses quick acquisition of pronunciation and mastery of phonetics so as to get students speaking and understanding quickly. Reading and writing are seamlessly intertwined in the lesson plan, so students get everything they need to be on the path to fluency! So, what are you waiting for? Let's get started with your language journey today!

Note: All lessons are conducted here on the Wyzant platform. Absolutely no Skype or Zoom. All communication must take place via WyZant messaging. I do not call or text any student, so please refrain from sharing your personal contact details.

My approach to TOEFL is simple: identify your strengths, and focus on your weaknesses. If you speak like a champ but you lag a little in reading, reading will be our focus. No matter where your greatest needs lie, I believe having fun and not stressing too much are central to getting a passing grade. My lessons are always engaging, at your pace, and tailored precisely to your needs. Let's get started!

Was great at making me feel better about learning spanish. Definitely makes learning spanish more fun. Has a great background of the language and can help someone understand why we speak spanish.

Jake, 3 lessons with Samuel

Very helpful

Samuel reviewed my son's hw and immediately started patient helping. His on screen notations allowed my son to both hear and see what he needed to correct. He also very kindly explained the difference between formal and informal language use in conversational Spanish. Very helpful.

Awesome!

My son loves Sam. He's very good with younger kids and is more than ready to work at their pace. Sam is working with my son to get him prepared in advance for his Spanish studies moving into middle school. I'm glad we are working with him. He is enthusiastic to see my child succeed!
