Learning through culture and language

Recently graduated, I have taken four years of Spanish. I taught Spanish III and Spanish II last year with classes ranging in size from 31 to 25 as well as having taught French I and French II in the same year. I taught myself a variety of languages mainly Romance languages including French, and Portuguese along with many others still working at fluency.
I teach in a style which combines different tactics and methods in order to engage the students in the subject. In example, when teaching foreign language I make it a point to incorporate the culture of the native people and their customs along with music and art.

I will always make sure you are really learning the language and feeling confident speaking it as you learn. I will make sure you speak a lot in class so you will loose the fear of talking in public.
I am a native speaker from Curitiba, Southern Brazil and have been teaching for about 2 years. I have thought private as well as group lessons. I really enjoy teaching and it's a big accomplishment for me to see that you are learning and feeling confident about what you know. I have been using different kind of books depending on the student's level.

A Little Bit About Me...

I recognize that each meeting is unique, and I have a great amount of patience and empathy. I am calm and open, and I want to do what I can for my students to feel at ease in discussing their writing. Understanding my students' needs and providing a good atmosphere of dialogue are priorities. I think that the written word is very important, and I want to do what I can to help students feel comfortable with this form of communication.
For three years, I have been a writing consultant for students at Rice University who took classes in rhetoric & composition. Some students have been ESL (English as a Second Language). I have tutored at least 25 students total (about 5 per semester), and so I have had experience with tutoring students with a variety of needs.
