I am in Spain until December 20, studying literature at the University of Granada. I am available for sessions and classes — give me a few days’ notice, and I’ll arrange my schedule for you!

Why spend time waiting for your tutor to figure out how to tutor? I’m an experienced Spanish teacher here at eduFire, and am ready to get started with you! I can help you with your current studies in another environment, like college or community classes, or I can directly be your teacher and you and I may one-on-one tackle Spanish. I can lead group classes, or tailor sessions with you at your convenience. We’ll make a great team!

I’ve spent more than half of my life designing for the web, and along the way have learned a few things: gain friends, learn software, and save often. I have full proficiencies in the below topics, and am willing to design classes for your own interests. Would you like to learn how to touch up photos? In two photoshop sessions, we will have you mastering your photo albums. Looking to build a blog? In just one session, you will be on track to writing your life and meeting people. Interested in coding a database system for a thousand-member website? Well, this may take more than an hour, but you and I can work to get you pumping out products for the web. Message me with your goals, and we can come up with the methods for you to acheive them!

Also nearing completion of teacher certification in history, I am dedicated to the study of people before us. If you would like to learn about the Maya, the Hanging Garden of Babylon, the Teapot Dome scandal or why the Zulu lost to British colonial forces in Africa, drop me a line. I hold history sessions like a discussion, and believe that you’ll have the most fun and get the most out of it if you’re actively engaged in the story of people.

Lesson Policies

-Always have Skype prepared as a backup plan!
-I hate wasting your time, so be ready to get going as soon as we start!
-We have to have fun. A lot.
-You are intelligent. Just because you can’t remember the irregular participle of a verb doesn’t mean you’re not smart. It means it’s an irregular participle.
Let me know what your goals are ahead of time, and we can make sure you’re on track!
