About
Hi I'm Luz . I'm from Colombia, came here 30 years ago after I graduated with a Degree in Special Education . I taught for 3 years and then I came to USA and I change my career , now I want to teach Spanish, knowing that there is a great demand for tutors in Spanish , I love to help people reach their goal , specially the conversation skills for the ones that want to practice them . And from the beginners to teach them the basics to be able to feel comfortable with a general knowledge of my native language. I have a flexible schedule so I will find a time for people needs .
The teaching experience and achievements of people who begin to speak and understand Spanish are a great boost for them and for me as a tutor or teacher.
I love to help people break the barriers of communication with other cultures and expand the knowledge that they have about my native language.
