I have a BA in Spanish, an in-progress MA in Education, and 18 years experience teaching. I love the challenge of making our time together fun and PERSONALIZED! Learning should be meaningful to YOU whether it's preparing for an exam, catching up (or getting ahead) in class, or just getting in extra practice, I work hard to plan our time around your needs. I love the online format, but I will tutor in person at a coffee shop, the library, or your home.

I love the online format, but I will tutor in person at a coffee shop, the library, or your home.
In general, I use a mix of theories and strategies, including CI and Direct Instruction, with a sprinkling of games. We will work together to establish your goals and the best way to reach them. I can also prepare activities for you to practice if that is something you're interested in. You will quickly gain confidence and feel more confident in your abilities!
I am a native English speaker who started learning Spanish at age 15 and just kept going! I've lived in Mexico, Spain, and Cuba soaking up both language and culture. I have taught all levels from pre-K to College with most of my experience working with high schoolers (14-18 years old).
I prefer to work with high schoolers because that is what I know best, however, I have had a lot of fun also working with middle schoolers (6th-8th grade/11-13 years old) and adults (18+).
I look forward to meeting you!
