Welcome to my page! I was inducted into the Spanish National Honor Society and attended college at Virginia Commonwealth University, earning a Bachelor's degree in Health, Physical Education, and Exercise Science. During college, I completed an internship with a non-profit Latino Health Promotion Organization. I have traveled four times to Spanish-speaking countries and just have a passion for the language! I love helping confused students realize that Spanish can not only be easy, but FUN!
I like to start my students out with a strong foundation so that they can build in whatever direction they need. Language is more than just vocabulary and grammar: it is an art and an expression. To be successful, students should understand their native pronouns and their native language's verb conjugation patterns before they attempt to learn one of a foreign language. The most common struggle I come across is that students are not accustomed to conjugating. What they don't realize is that we conjugate verbs in English all the time!
Once students see the similarities and understand the patterns they naturally use, Spanish becomes so much easier. Depending on the student's level, we start by reviewing the English pronoun chart and some example conjugations. Then we move to Spanish pronouns and conjugations. If the student is at a higher level and still struggling, we will always try to identify patterns and trends so that he or she has just a few key concepts to remember. If you are ready to improve your grades (and confidence!) in Spanish, please send me a message!
I also offer personal training for adults.
