Would you or your child like to explore the wonderful world
of Spanish?
I am a credentialed teacher taking a break from the
classroom, and am very good at helping children learn and
believe in themselves.
I have succeeded with students where often others have not
been able to, and have successfully reached the ''difficult''
children, as well as the children who do well in academic
settings. I can provide testimonials from other parents. I
work with all ages: K-adult.
You will learn how to read, write, speak and understand
Spanish - in your own home or at a cafe or library.
I learned my Spanish in Mexico and Guatemala and have also
spent time in Honduras and Ecuador. I am a teacher trained
to work with people of many different learning styles, so
give it a try!
Discounts available for multiple students and packages.
