Orangevale, CA Spanish Lessons

I majored in Spanish at UC Davis, lived in Mexico for 3 years where I completed a Master's degree in Counseling, studied Spanish Literature and Psychology at the University of Costa Rica for 7 months and have traveled around a few other Latin American Countries.

I can do conversation classes and academic ones too. I have a lot of material and activities to facilitate fun learning. My command of the language is almost native. I prefer to work with those who really want to learn, just so we both use our time wisely. I work best with those who already have a base on Spanish but want to prefect their grammar, vocabulary, conjugation, listening and overall language skills.

Lessons can be fun, dynamic and creative! I teach the language using different tools like music, movies, stories or videos. I’ve been teaching Spanish since 2011 and I love it! So come along and ride this Spanish train with me!

I am a fluent Spanish speaker. Spanish is my first language, and I began to learn English in Pre-K so I'm bilingual. I grew up reading and writing Spanish in my home so I was always completely immersed in both languages. I taught Spanish classes at my local library when I was in High School.

I have a degree in Spanish from Valparaiso University. My first job right out of college was as a Spanish teacher at a local private academy where I taught Spanish to JK-8th grade. I now work at a College where I have taught adult education classes in Spanish to native speakers.

Learning Spanish with me would give you access to a wealth of knowledge a clear understanding of the transition of one language to the other. Also, I like to be innovative with the way I teach the language. I feel that sometimes the traditional method of learning a language does not always work for everyone.

I have experience in teaching for 20+ years. Ranging from kindergarten to 8th grade. I am fluent in English and Spanish and have experience in teaching Spanish for 5 years. I have a specific curriculum with a focus on conversational Spanish to ensure that you can hold a conversation with another fluent speaker. Spanish is a wonderful language and it is increasingly becoming more popular and useful in the work place. With my years of experience, I believe I can help you reach and surpass your goal!
