Experienced foreign language teacher and tutor who can help raise grades effectively. I have 30 years of teaching experience in Spanish and French. I can re-explain difficult concepts, work through practice examples, establish effective study habits and proof assignments you for revision. I can also teach you forward for upcoming concepts so when you arrive in class, you have already seen and practiced the material. While you will realize improvement immediately in class, you can expect to see real results in your grades in as little as 3 weeks.

If you are interested in conversational Spanish or French for enrichment or personal learning I can create customized lessons and topics. I work with adults endeavoring to master conversational language and college students preparing for a semester of study abroad to build skills and increase vocabulary.

I hold K-12 licenses in Spanish and French, Bilingual Education and English as a Second Language. I currently teach Dual Language Immersion and Advanced Placement Spanish in Madison.

I have lived and traveled abroad extensively through Europe, Mexico and Central America.
Learning a language is key to unlocking the world. I can help students build confidence and knowledge about their language skills and inspire them to apply them to real world experiences as they grow and mature.
