I've been teaching foreign languages for more than 20 years. You'll build up your knowledge from speaking simple sentences at first to using your vocabulary more confidently and conjugating like a pro!

I've spoken Spanish natively my whole life and played the piano since age five. My first Spanish student was my Minnesotan husband!

Two years ago I was only fluent in English. Now, I can speak English and Spanish fluently, I can read and write in American Braille, and I am currently learning Italian.

I look forward to working with you!
