Education
I graduated with my master's degree in Spanish and Latin American literature from the University of Virginia. Before that, I graduated cum laude with a bachelor's degree in Spanish and English from the University of Florida. In between my degrees, I lived in Madrid, Spain where I taught English to children, high schoolers and adults. I have also traveled extensively through Spain, and I've visited a number of other Spanish-speaking countries.
Experience
I am a native speaker of Spanish and English, and I have nine years of experience teaching world languages. For several years, I taught AP Spanish, Spanish 4 Honors, Spanish 3, Spanish 2 and English as a Second Language in Virginia public high schools. In 2012, my AP Spanish Language students had an 88% pass rate on the AP exam (3 or above). In 2013, my AP Spanish Language students had a 92% percent pass rate with an average score of 4.23 out of 5. In addition to high-school level instruction, I have also helped clients ranging from medical professionals needing basic communication to government employees needing training for advanced Spanish-language exams. I have been tutoring for over ten years, and have experience tutoring any age: from small children to working adults. I am dedicated to my students' success and try several approaches to ensure my students learn.
