I am originally from Florence, SC. I have a BA in Communication from Clemson University, where I minored in German. I also studied abroad for a year in Dortmund, Germany. After graduating from Clemson I moved to Berlin, Germany, where I worked for the news broadcaster, Deutsche Welle. In about 1999 I began tutoring English and working in the film industry. I lived, studied and worked for a total of 3.25 years.
Before moving back to the U.S. I studied Spanish is Seville, Spain for 5 months. Then in 2004, I earned an International Master of Business degree from the #1 IMBA program in the country. I studied Portuguese for business during my masters and worked in Curitiba, Brazil for 6 months, where I became fluent in Portuguese.
I am fluent in German, Spanish and Portuguese and I have experience teaching High School German at Wilson High School in Florence, SC (2001-2002). Other than this experience, I have taught English, German and Portuguese as a tutor, and also as a corporate language instructor.
I have helped scores of students prepare for this exam. I have also taken it twice myself.
I have over 10 years of teaching in certified language schools, as well as high school. I am fluent in the languages and am an expert in teaching others.
I have a fun, relaxed teaching style. My approach is challenging but engaging and the students enjoy learning. I use practical examples that are easy to catch on.
