I'm very lucky to be gifted in foreign languages as well as English. I get along well with most young adults and children. I've been teaching for many years under various conditions. I can be flexible about hours though I do work as a substitute teacher during the school day.

I have been involved with education and teaching and tutoring since I was a college student at the City College of NY where I tutored reading to underprivileged grade school students.

Having minored in education I eventually got my education license here in New Mexico. I tutored a Spanish speaking boy in English for several months through a tutoring program and was successful at that. In addition to majoring in French in college, I studied Spanish at the Santa Fe Community College and at UNM. Then I worked at the college as a Spanish tutor for about five years. I also worked with at risk Native Americans in the schools at the elementary level for about five years and with success in improving their reading skills. I have a license in Modern and Classical Languages as well as a license in special education.

I have enjoyed playing the piano since I was a young girl and I have studied music theory in college. I have tutored young children in playing the piano.

I am also a published poet.

I offer teaching or tutoring in English, French and Spanish and in ESL. I have a strong academic and experiential background and can be flexible with my techniques.

Looking forward to working with you.

Alice
