Spanish Tutor San Francisco

Mon, 08 Apr 2013 05:06:40 +0000

Tutor Profile

Gender:
Female

Preferred Subjects

Spanish, English, Study Skills and Writing

Education

BA in Communication Studies with an emphasis in Intercultural Communication from San Francisco State University - May 2007

MA in Spanish Language and Literature from San Francisco State University - November 2013

Experience:

My love affair with the Spanish language began in middle school, and ultimately I achieved fluency by studying abroad, first in Costa Rica and then in Spain. For three months in Costa Rica, I lived with a host family who did not know any English, allowing me to discover the joy of connecting with people who do not share my mother tongue. I was thrilled to be able to communicate and bond with people of a different language and culture even with my limited speaking skills at the time.

This fueled my desire to become completely fluent in Spanish, make many friends from different cultures and pursue graduate studies in Spanish and Latin American literature at San Francisco State University. My journey with Spanish has been deeply fulfilling, especially contributing my expertise to others.

While teaching undegraduate Spanish courses at SFSU I recognized how essential it was to provide unique Spanish programs customized to each individual person to fit their particular level and needs. Today I provide these programs to highschool, university students and professionals using a virtual online classroom. Small group programs for students and professionals are also avaiIable.

In my programs I also incorporate my coaching expertise as a Radical Results Coach for Carolina Aramburo Coaching, which makes them extremely rigorous so that my clients produce the results they want with their Spanish.

Please contact me if you are interested in a customized program. I look forward to hearing from you!

Hobbies:

One of the main things people notice about me straight away is that I radiate joy. I'm incredibily passionate, energetic and love to dance salsa and tango.
