About
I have taught Spanish to all ages for several years. I have experience teaching Spanish on all levels, including conversational for advanced students. I also have experience teaching English as a second language here in the United States and also while I was studying and living in Spain and Lebanon. The ages of learners range from five to 50 years old.
I possess a Bachelor of Arts, Spanish Language and Literature a degree in Business, certificates in international studies and in Business Spanish. I attended Madonna University in Livonia, Michigan. I graduated in 2010. I have taught English as a second language at Universitat Jaume Primer in Castellón de la Plana, Spain, Spanish at Oakland Community College, Royal Oak, Michigan in 2008-2009, and taught Spanish privately since then.
I have been on the dean’s list graduating with high honors/ GPA: 3.9/4.0. I am also a Study Abroad Presidential Award Scholar Recipient where I've studied in Spain in Lebanon.
If you love to learn Spanish. You can do it. If you know a little, you can learn more. If you are nervous, that’s fine too. Learning a new language is fun and has its advantages in so many ways! I love teaching Spanish and make it enjoyable for anyone that wants to learn. Like anything, if you have a desire to learn something you will learn it.
