Spanish Instructor +20 years Experience

Jamie G.

I have + 20 years of experience teaching Spanish and English as a Second Language (ESL). I have taught high school Spanish I - IV Honors and at the university level at MTSU in Murfreesboro, TN, and LSU in Baton Rouge, LA. I am designated as a Highly Qualified Teacher with PK-12 certification. I have a Master of Arts in Teaching Degree and am earning my doctorate in Education at Baylor University in Waco, Texas.

In my two decades of teaching experience, I have honed my communication skills with administrators, students, parents, community leaders, and business representatives both domestically and abroad. I believe communication and common sense are the two most important skills to have in education. For the past 12 years, I have led Study Abroad programs in Spain and Costa Rica.

I have tutored students throughout my professional career. I approach tutoring just as I do teaching; creativity is a necessity, and I thrive at creating comprehensible input. I am advanced at incorporating technology into lessons, especially visuals such as video, web searches, info-graphs, Canva, and PowerPoint, and I pay great attention to detail. I love making personalized resources that fit my students' best learning styles! I am available on weekdays and weekends. I invite you to contact me soon!
