Experience
Upon completing my degrees at Universidad Javeriana and Arizona State University, I taught Spanish at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. In addition to teaching college and graduate school level pupils, I am experienced teaching students of all ages and abilities from children to adults. I am a native Spanish speaker hailing from Colombia. Along with teaching Spanish, I also work as a Spanish translator. Several times during the year, I return to Bogota to teach a phonetics course. Teaching Spanish to a non-speaker is difficult and teachers should use flexible methods to discover what works best for them. I use a variety of tools and approaches that have proven to be effective and tailor them to the students I tutor. I strive to make my classes interesting because I've discovered when students enjoy a class, their comprehension improves. As a native Spanish speaker, I can greatly improve the pronunciation ability of my students. I specifically emphasize the proper pronunciation of cognates or related words. My experience teaching at the Arizona State University has fortified my teaching experience. I love helping my pupils gain a thorough understanding of Spanish and help them meet their academic aims. I spend my free time creating handcrafted accessories, playing golf, and dancing.
