Experience Summary
I have been tutoring non-stop since I was an undergraduate student myself, and even had the opportunity to TA at St. Lawrence University. I have since used my translation skills in business, taught two years of advanced Spanish language courses at the University of Virginia, and two years of all levels of Spanish at St. Anne's-Belfield School. I love teaching full-time, but nothing compares to the one-on-one interaction and first row seat to the "aha!" moments that I enjoy as a tutor. Through teaching Spanish, I have come to learn that most of my students were never property taught English grammar and struggle with general writing skills, so I am also happy to tutor in those areas as well.
My Hobbies
I of course love all things Spanish! I currently sponsor a child in Costa Rica and love keeping in touch with her, and I volunteer for Literacy Volunteers (www.literacyforall.org) in an effort to support the local hispanic community. I am also a distance running coach, animal lover and avid equestrian. I am planning to volunteer at the SPCA this summer and I have three horses of my own who are like children to me and always keep me on my toes. :)
