About
I teach young children (ages 6-18) how to speak, write, and read not only proper Spanish, but conversational Spanish as well. As a high school senior, I notice that my students are less intimidated by me than they would be of an older tutor, which allows them to enjoy the lessons more. I also try to incorporate teaching the language through the Spanish culture (from both Spain and Latin America).
