Looking to build a strong academic foundation or strengthen your skills in English, Spanish, or Brazilian Portuguese? As a native English speaker who learned Spanish and Portuguese through my studies at the University of Richmond, where I graduated Summa Cum Laude with a B.A. in Latin American, Latino & Iberian Studies and a minor in Luso-Brazilian Studies (Portuguese), I have extensive experience with Spanish across regions and contexts. My experience living in Latin America and working as a professional Spanish medical interpreter for several years has given me familiarity with a wide range of Spanish varieties. I also have teaching experience in classrooms in Latin America and the United States and as an online tutor, along with a TESOL certificate and Spanish medical interpreter certification.
I offer tutoring in Academic English, ESL, Academic Spanish, Academic Brazilian Portuguese, Medical Spanish, and Spanish Medical Interpreter Training. My instruction emphasizes the fundamentals of the language and the development of all four skills - listening, speaking, reading, and writing - to prepare students to use the language effectively in real-life contexts. Whether you are studying a language as part of an academic program, strengthening your foundation, or pursuing a professional goal, I'll tailor our lessons to your learning style, current abilities, and aspirations. I can also help medical professionals develop their medical Spanish and provide training for current and prospective medical interpreters.
My teaching experience includes working with elementary, middle school, high school, and adult learners, allowing me to adapt my approach to students at different stages of their education and language development, as well as to students with different learning styles and abilities. Together, we'll create a structured plan that meets your individual learning goals while helping you become a more experienced and independent language learner with a greater command of your skills.
