About Felicia

I majored in Spanish in college, which included a year in Ecuador. While there I lived with a family who did not speak English, and attended a university in the city of Quito where all of my classes were in Spanish. This provided me with an invaluable opportunity to learn Spanish at the level of a native speaker. Since college, I have learned first-hand that being bi-lingual sets one apart in searching for jobs and enhances professional opportunities within many industries. I am eager to help other students achieve similar outcomes by learning this valuable language.

Before I became a Spanish tutor, I taught English as a Second Language classes to high school students and adults for three years. As an ESL teacher, my students were all successful in their learning goals, and made significant improvements in their language skills. The students I have since tutored in Spanish have also shown tremendous amounts of progress - from improving grades and increasing confidence in class to improving fluency and communication skills in the workplace. I am patient and perceptive to the individual learning style of each student. This ability to personalize lessons is one of the many things that make me an excellent Spanish tutor, and set me apart from others. I recognize that everyone does not learn the same way, and I have a very individualized approach to teaching.

When appropriate, depending on a student's skill level, I can tutor entirely in Spanish. But regardless of the level a student is at, I have many creative strategies to use. Whether you're a beginner or in advanced Spanish, I am skilled at adapting my lessons to match your level. I have also developed hundreds of resources over the past few years, which I am happy to share with you.

I am flexible with scheduling, and have availability during the day, evenings, and on weekends. I am willing to tutor in-home or in a neutral place such as the public library or coffee shop. I look forward to hearing from you and helping you improve your Spanish language skills. I majored in Spanish in college, which included a year in Ecuador.
