About
My students progress!
I would like to work with you or your child in learning Spanish or English as a second language. We can have school tutoring for Spanish or ESL or we can have conversations and basic grammar skills for reading and writing. We can work on your writing or reading skills as well. We can meet for a trial 30 minutes lessons to learn about each other expectations and practice. I am available to meet every day early morning or late afternoon. Please, confirm via email and I will send you the zoom link. Classes are via ZOOM only. Thanks so much!
