With several years of experience teaching Spanish, I've had the privilege of guiding students at all levels, from beginners to advanced learners seeking conversational fluency. My teaching focuses on practical communication, including mastering Spanish sounds and pronunciation, accent reduction, and enriching students' understanding of Hispanic culture.

My professional journey includes teaching Spanish and English as a Second Language both in the United States and during my immersive experiences studying and living in Spain and Lebanon. I've worked with learners ranging in age from five to fifty, proving that it's never too late to embark on the rewarding path of language acquisition.

My teaching philosophy is rooted in a genuine desire to empower students. I aim to improve their academic performance and build their confidence, equipping them with the tools they need to succeed.

On a more personal note, my passion for language and culture has taken me across the globe. During my university years, I was honored to receive a Study Abroad Presidential Award, which facilitated my studies in Spain and Lebanon. My linguistic abilities extend beyond Spanish and English, and I've had the enriching experience of traveling and living in Africa, Europe, the Middle East, and throughout Mexico. I've also explored the diverse landscapes of the United States, venturing into our beautiful national parks with my Siberian Husky. In my free time, I enjoy soccer, playing pool, pursuing new knowledge, immersing myself in the arts, and indulging in the pleasures of reading and writing.

I have several years experience teaching Spanish here in the United States and also overseas. The ages of learners range from five to 50 years old. I can teach all levels, from basic to conversation. The classes are fun and will give the student confidence in learning Spanish. If you love to learn Spanish. You can do it. If you know a little, you can learn more. If you are nervous, that’s fine too. Learning a new language is fun and has its advantages in so many ways! I love teaching Spanish and make it enjoyable for anyone that wants to learn. Like anything, if you have a desire to learn something you will learn it. Each class, we will study some of the following: Spanish grammar, vocabulary, syntax, pronunciation, propositions and conversation in Spanish on multiple topics. The student will learn how to use and conjugate verb tenses. We will also cover numbers, days of the week, propositions, direct and indirect object pronouns, expressions. Once the student is at a comfortable conversational level, with practice exercises and conversations, the student will be more confident in speaking the Spanish language. Depending on lesson and level of the student, each lesson may take a few sessions to complete. Homework will be provided after every class.
