More About This Tutor...

Throughout my career, I have always worked well with others and value the importance of working as a collective toward the task at hand. Effective communication is crucial to success. Understanding this, I have taken it upon myself to become fluent in two languages, Mandarin Chinese and Spanish. It has always been a passion of mine to learn new languages, as well as teach what I have learned to others. At the heart of teaching is Wisdom; the ability to be introspective, retrospective and giving.
Throughout my life, I have always found comfort in teaching children. When it comes to learning, their appetites are insatiable, but often we come to road blocks as to how children are to be taught. They all have different personalities, how can they learn absolutely the same? You will find me an extremely adaptive, grounded, and patient individual, as all of those thing are needed for su ... read more

My passion for teaching world languages stems from my firm belief that children must develop a global awareness and become tolerant of different cultures in order to be successful in our world today. I love working with students of all ages and encourage each to reach his full academic potential. Whether or not a student is comfortable with a teacher has a strong impact on his ability to learn. For this reason I attempt to discover what works with each individual and vary my methods of teaching accordingly. I am a patient,persevering teacher with a sense of humor. I believe in the uniqueness of each person and concern myself with having each student I encounter feel accepted and valued.
As an educator, my experience includes not only nineteen years in public education as a middle school and high school French and Spanish teacher but also four years experience as a private schoo ... read more

I was raised in Latin America through age 18, and learned Spanish beginning at infancy. I maintained my native-level fluency into my professional life as a career federal law enforcement officer, during which I was assigned to posts in Latin America for a total of 15 years as a representative of the U.S. Government. Amongst my duties was the training and mentoring of foreign police officers. I have additionally interpreted for high level public officials to include 2 Presidents of Costa Rica and U.S. cabinet members Janet Reno and Barry McCaffrey. Following my retirement from federal service in 2008 I have been employed as a contract Spanish Linguist for both the U.S. Government and Geneva Worldwide Translations, NY, NY.
I thoroughly enjoy sharing my love and appreciation of the Spanish language, particularly with younger students, and as oppossed to instructors having only ac ... read more

I find that every student can learn. Although challenging, every human being has the power to learn another language. I would describe my teaching style as fun yet effective. I like to immerse my students in the target language to ensure proper learning. I will practice verb drills, sing songs, and perform skits to ensure that the material is properly learned. I will do what it takes, in many different ways to ensure that a student remembers, "gets it", and can speak in the target language.
I have been a High School Spanish Teacher for three years under the state of North Carolina. Before that, I was lead school teacher at a daycare where I specialized in Spanish. I have studied abroad to Spain, Portugal, and Africa. Also, I have done tutoring on the side to High School students. I wish to teach Spanish in the target language.

I have always enjoyed tutoring children; in high school, I actively participated in a youth tutoring program, but I also feel very comfortable tutoring older students and adults. My goal is to provide any knowledge and experience I can to help a student reach his or her highest academic potential, and through patient instruction and self-discovery, I hope to make a difference in the educational lives of my students.
As a recent graduate of a private liberal arts institution with a degree in Medieval and Early Modern Studies and a concentration in pre-medical courses, I have a diverse and extensive understanding in several areas of study, both in the humanities and the sciences. Having completed a senior thesis as well as various essays in all disciplines, I feel that I have a commanding grasp of the English language and superior writing skills, and the proper knowledge needed to tu ... read more
