I'm taking reservations for the summer - spots fill up very
fast!!
Would you or your child like to explore the wonderful world
of Spanish?
I am a credentialed teacher currently working as an editor
and tutor and now offering beginning and intermediate
Spanish lessons. 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!
I'm happy to email you my resume and a description of my
services if you'd like. I will say up front that I charge
more than some tutors but I am a trained, credentialed
teacher and can be more helpful in less time than many. The
best compliment I have ever gotten from a parent was that
the change in her son was ''miraculous.'' That's why I do it!

teenagers who absolutely hate school, using many different
learning modalities! I can provide testimonials from other
parents.

I'm an Afrocuban artist living in Oakland offering
full time Spanish tutoring. I have been teaching Spanish to
children since I moved to the U.S. over 3 years ago. My goal
is to provide a dynamic and creative learning experience in
which above all else, the children enjoy themselves, make
art, and learn to love Spanish!
While engaging in activities such as making a paper mache
mask, dancing salsa, drumming Afrocuban rhythms, gardening,
museum visits, hiking, I expose children to the Spanish
language and Afrocuban culture. My immersion approach
emphasizes cultivating positive social relationships between
me and the children, as well as their communities.
I have excellent references from my previous employers.
I have a car and an excellent driving record.
