    About Josh B.

    Hola a todos, I am a high school Spanish teacher in the Chicago suburbs. I have been teaching for eight years, and have experience teaching levels I, II, III, and IV at the high school level. I have a true passion for the Spanish language and the various Spanish-speaking cultures. I began learning Spanish about 20 years ago, and I have continued to better my knowledge of the language and Spanish-speaking cultures via my travels to Mexico, Puerto Rico, the Dominican Republic, Chile, Argentina, and Spain. In fact, I have led two student trips to Spain in the past! If we end up working together, I strive to provide you with the best experience possible; I take the utmost pride in my teaching, and most importantly, your learning. If you have any questions or would be interested in working together, please contact me. Sinceramente, Josh
