About Me

Experience Summary

I am currently a student at the University of South Florida, seeking a Bachelor's degree in German Studies. I have some background in International Studies, specifically with Latin America and some in the Middle East. Predominately, however, I have done foreign language studies from a young age. I began studying Japanese language, culture and custom at 14 and have a basic understanding of it. I studied German for two years in high school and went on to live as an exchange student in Northeastern Germany for one year during my Junior year. While I was there, I attended a German high school, lived with a local host family and gained near native fluency throughout the course of my time there. I am a native Spanish speaker and have also taken several business Spanish courses in order to perfect my formal speech.

Teaching Style

I believe that conversation is an essential part of language learning. After teaching some basic vocabulary and grammar, I like to encourage students to place their fear of making mistakes to the side and converse as much as they are able to in the target language. Depending on the age and experience of the student, I like to incorporate teaching materials such as books, worksheets, articles on the internet in the target language and listening exercises, as well as interpretation of song lyrics that the student might enjoy, describing art pieces in the target language and anything else that the student might find interesting. My style is pretty open and unrestricted. I am patient, kind and enjoy learning from my student as much as I enjoy tutoring them.

My Hobbies

Belly dancing is my number one past time and I actually used to work as one at local Greek and Middle Eastern restaurants. OPA!

Subject Commentary

German This is one of my top subjects! Proficiency: Experienced
I lived as an exchange student in Germany for one year with a host family and went to a local German high school. I was completely immersed in the culture and learned to speak the language pretty fluently.
Japanese This is one of my top subjects! Proficiency: I know the basics
Japan has always been close to my heart. I am a high beginner and can tutor with the basic hiragana, katakana and very basic kanji, as well as a bit of grammar and some vocabulary.
Spanish This is one of my top subjects! Proficiency: Expert
I am a native Spanish speaker and can speak it fluently, as well as read and write the language. I have spoken Spanish since infancy; my family is originally from Cuba.
