Experience Summary
As a lover of different cultures and languages, I have extensive experience traveling and living abroad. I traveled to Valparaiso, Chile for 6 weeks where I lived with a host family and carried out a research project which involved me giving conducting surveys with residents in Spanish. I have also had the opportunity to live abroad in Salvador, Bahia, Brazil for 6 months where I again lived with a host family as well as attended school side by side with other Brazilian students. All these experiences have helped to polish my language abilities.
Teaching Style
I very much enjoy working with people at all levels of speaking abilities. I have a patience and compassion that can put a student and ease, and feel less inhibited. I have a teaching style that is flexible so that it can be molded around the needs of the person I'm currently working with. I love having fun with any subject, because I believe that is a key component that can further draw a student in to what they are learning. I truly believe learning a different language is of the utmost importance because it inevitably expands horizons!
