About
¡Hola!
I am a native speaker with a degree in education from Mexico. After immigrating into the US, I learned English and earned an engineering degree. Years later, I joined the FBI. After I retired as a language analyst, I developed a language program. I have written several bilingual children’s books available on Amazon. I have taught Spanish I and II at the community college and recently ran a Spanish summer camp at Messiah L Academy. My teaching experience has been enriched by having visited many Spanish-speaking countries such as Spain, Mexico, Costa Rica, Argentina, Honduras, etc. I would love to help you learn Spanish.
I love teaching Spanish. Because I learned a new language as an adult, I know the pitfalls to avoid when learning a new language. Learning a new language should be fun. I use puppets as props to teach Spanish.
