About Me

My passion for the Spanish language began about seven years ago when I was still in high school. It is something I wanted to pursue farther in my life and I have achieved that goal. I have a year experience tutoring university students and non traditional university students with beginning to intermediate/advanced Spanish. It is rewarding when students return to tell me that they did well on a quiz or exam. This was a paid position that I earned, and I had to be appointed and approved by several professors to get the job that I did. This means my grades in Spanish were exceptional. I would love to work with students of any age and would be willing to adapt to different learning styles. As far as other experience goes, I lived and studied in Salamanca, Spain for three months as well as lived and studied in Samara, Monteverde, and Buena Vista, Costa Rica for two weeks. I have also traveled to other Spanish speaking countries such as Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic. I have a strong passion for the language and everyday I strive to be better than I was yesterday. Living in these foreign countries helped me learn faster and even more than if I would have stayed in the States, because being forced to speak the language and make mistakes is all part of the learning process and if mistakes aren't made, neither is progress. What makes me an excellent tutor aside from my fluency in the language is my ability to be flexible. I don't have a certain "style" of tutoring, because that may not work for all students. Instead, I ask the students how they would like to best and then I adapt my teaching ways to what I believe they will benefit from the most.
