About
I enjoy teaching and sharing my knowledge. Spanish is my native language and I love sharing the language and culture with my students. My goal is to not only teach you Spanish but to inspire in you an interest in the culture and open the doors for you to learn many other languages.
I worked with preschool age children for many years, I have tutored elementary school age students and some adults interested in learning to pronounce what they know or improve their confidence in speaking the language.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
First, I start with a smile and an "hola!" in order to break the ice. Secondly, use a couple of Spanish greetings to see where the child's comfort is with the adult and the language.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
My primary language is Spanish. I have a Master in Elementary Education and for the last 15 years, I have been providing children in the preschool their first exposure to the Spansih language.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
I like to be fair and work with my family and look to be pay fairly for the work I do.
How did you get started teaching?
The need of some of the family I worked with to continue furthering their students education or the family interest in teaching the students a second or third language.
What types of students have you worked with?
I have worked with three to 12 year old students. As well as some adults who have been interested in improving their conversational skills whether in Spanish or English.
Describe a recent event you are fond of.
The opportunity to reach more students via Zoom. The online lessons allows room to adjust schedule and reach my students at different times of the day otherwise impossible in person.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
If you are interested in learning and speaking Spansih like a native, the best way is to work with someone who loves what he or she does and has a passion to share it with her students young or old.
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
I have found that as a teacher and a students work together, the comfort level increases allowing both parties to ask questions that can lead to better teaching and learning opportunities.
