Introduction: I am a native speaker with many years of experience teaching Spanish, ESL, TESOL, Portuguese, and Latin. I have taught in different schools, academies, colleges, and universities as a graduate student, lecturer, and faculty. I have diversified my experience in the last eight years by teaching in Pre-K to 12th grade schools. I have taught Span 1-6, AP, IB, Span for Heritage Speakers, Conversational Spanish, and many upper-division courses related to the cross between Language and Culture. In my younger years, I worked as an editor, proofreader, and translator. I am fully available. I have a flexible schedule and I can provide references!!! Double BA in Hispanic Philology and Literature. MA in Spanish and Second Language Acquisition. Let's get started!! :) It makes me very happy when after weeks of hard work and dedication my students speak more fluently.

Met with Rafa for our first lesson the other day. Awesome experience, Rafa was engaging, friendly and well prepared. Rafa sent me homework prior to our first meeting so we could get started right away. Will continue my lessons!!

Rafa doesn't just speak Spanish. He can explain grammar, explain the differences between English and Spanish, explain differences between the Spanish language spoken in different countries, etc. I appreciate the explanations.

Rafa is a great Spanish teacher. During our lessons we typically talk the whole time about various subject matter. Rafa then sends homework and has his students work on grammar/vocabulary before class begins. This is a really great way to learn and very helpful for anyone who is trying to learn Spanish.

I have only met with Rafa once. It was great. He was patient and we chatted in Spanish 90% of the time. I am looking forward to getting to the next level with Rafa.
