My Espanol Tutor

Introduction: I am a Spanish tutor who thoroughly enjoys educating English speakers. I do what I do because I enjoy seeing the progress in my student's language skills and sharing with them the feeling of accomplishment that comes with it. I help my students to be comfortable learning the basics of a new language. If necessary, I help guide them through their Spanish homework and projects that are sometimes overwhelming. Whether I am helping someone interested in learning a new language on their own or a student taking a Spanish class, I have the skill set and knowledge to assist and deliver real results. I believe that learning a new language is incredibly enriching and being able to understand and speak Spanish in Florida is invaluable. I am an educator who is specialized in Spanish for English speakers. I am currently employed by Seminole County Public Schools and have been teaching beginner Spanish (conversational) and Spanish 1 for 13 years. Beginner Spanish -- In this class, I teach others some common words and expressions that are used often by native Spanish speakers. I teach the correct pronunciation and information about countries where Spanish is spoken and their cultures.

I also have 30 years of experience as an educator in the public school system. I have knowledge and understanding of world geography and world history.
