Experience
I am currently working as a Spanish tutor for Wake Forest University. This is my first year with them and I am loving it. Spanish is the one subject which I am extremely passionate about. I lived in Bilbao, Spain from 2009-2015 teaching ESL. I have my TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages). I am constantly surround by Spanish since my husband is from Bilbao, Spain. I am a young, energetic and caring teacher. I like to make my students feel comfortable speaking either in English or Spanish. I use a variety of methods from using visuals, grammar tricks, fun activities and making my students feel confident in their target language either English or Spanish. I am very proud that I can make my students feel comfortable with the level of Spanish/English they need to know for school/work/leisure. I have lived first hand experience why Spanish is so important and fun. I will pass that on to your child and help make them excited about learning Spanish. I have also taught a variety of conversation classes. I know how to make you feel confident about communicating in a second language and these classes tend to be more geared towards adults. I love what I do and my goal is to make sure you are satisfied with every class we have together.

I love speaking Spanish, dancing, reading, traveling and learning about other cultures. I also love watching soccer and football. My husband is a soccer coach so there is a lot of soccer in our lives. I speak Spanish whenever I get the chance. I also love to watch soccer games and go dancing. Whenever I am able to watch movies in Spanish I take the opportunity. I love to eat, breathe and sleep Spanish. I hope to make my love for Spanish contagious so you child or yourself will fall in love with the language like I have.
