Introduction: First, I learned Spanish by teaching myself. As such, I know the struggles of learning the language and how to overcome those obstacles to create the easiest path to success. Then, I went on to work and live in two Latin American countries, allowing me to incorporate cultural learning into my lesson plans. After all, one can't be proficient in positively using a language without a working understanding of the culture. Lastly, in obtaining Bachelor's Degree in Spanish, I benefited from an education in linguistics, which allowed me to learn how language is best learned. With this experience as a guide, I have since created a unique curriculum for ease and thoroughness of learning.
As I learned Spanish, I was amazed at how it opened my world to rich relationships and opportunities. I enjoy helping my students discover these new possibilities as they learn.
