About
I am a lawyer and because of the work of my husband I lived in Israel and started teaching Spanish there. Then in Italy and Mexico as well.
I like using visuals and involving my students in small dialogs from class one. I love using PPT and realia in class.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
I evaluate my students to see their level in Spanish and know their motivations and needs.
With this information I can design his/her classes in order to help them achieve their goals.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I studied law for 7 years at the University. I took all the courses in Spanish and those include literature and language arts.
I took a Course for Spanish teachers at the Cervantes institute in Tel Aviv, Israel.
I took the program for teachers at The Instituto Cultural Peruano Norteamericano in Lima, Peru.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
I charge private students 45 dollars per hour. The same for a group of max 4 students. The minimum hours per week are two in order to accomplish learning.
How did you get started teaching?
I started teaching English at the Catholic University Language Center in Lima, Peru. When I moved to Israel I taught both English and Spanish and in Mexico I continued teaching both languages at Interlingua.
What types of students have you worked with?
I have taught adults, at their offices, teenagers and children.
Describe a recent event you are fond of.
I am currently Spanish tutor at the International Studies Charter School where all my students are French teenagers.
I have a good relation with them and classes are focused on conversations about famous people that they know.
I also have a student who is a legal consultant and we focus on writing mails to his clients. He knows Spanish but he's becoming more confident with the classes.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
The best thing before starting classes is to stablish a clear objective, why do I study Spanish? Do I need to take an Specific Exam? Am I planning to travel to a Spanish speaking country? Do I need it for work? That's the only way a teacher can plan your lessons effectively. Not all the students have the same needs and a teacher needs to focus the classes according to the specific student they have and his/her necessities.
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
What helps me to learn? What motivates me to learn? What kind of teachers do I like?
