Tutor
My enthusiasm, experience and professionalism guarantee you to have an unforgettable experience learning Spanish.
I want to help you achieve your goals by providing a first class instruction.
I will design a tailor made program for you, according to your needs and level of the language.
I will give you homework for you to practice on your own while you schedule your next class. You can send me a message with questions or homework done any time and
I will respond to them as soon as possible.
I will teach you, not only the language, but also the culture.
My education and experience gives me the knowledge to use the best approach and methods in the class.
I have been in the education field for over 18 years, some of them teaching young minds at school, and some at a university level.
I am a native Spanish speaker from the Andean area of Latin America (La Paz, Bolivia). Once you do a little research you are going to find out that we speak at a slow pace, and that we have a very neutral accent.
But I also lived in the United States for almost 14 years which gives the knowledge of a different culture and it’s expectations.
