Bio

I have 32 years of teaching experience. I have taught Spanish to Kindergarten through adult levels. I have always taught, whether whole class groups or single students, as this is very fulfilling work for me, and what I am best at. It's important for me to see the light of understanding dawn on the faces of my students. I began with middle and high school, and then for 22 years I taught elementary school.

I have 32 years of teaching experience. I have taught Spanish to Kindergarten through adult levels. I have always taught, whether whole class groups or single students, as this is very fulfilling work for me, and what I am best at. It's important for me to see the light of understanding dawn on the faces of my students. I began with middle and high school, and then for 22 years I taught elementary school. Most recently, I have been teaching elementary Spanish part-time at an Episcopal School. Although English was my first language, my background in a Spanish-speaking community in New Mexico helped me gain near-native fluency. (Native speakers on the phone regularly think I am a native speaker.) I am also an excellent teacher of the core elementary subjects, in particular English grammar and reading. Having done this as a teacher of ESL Bilingual Education from the most basic phonics through ninth grade English grammar, reading, and writing.
I earned my degrees at UTEP, with additional time at West Texas A&M. I graduated Magna Cum Laude with a perfect record in both Spanish and Education courses. I have certifications in Spanish, Biology, ESL, Early Chilshood, and Bilingual Education.

I teach them how to use context clues, roots of words, and visual/auditory cues to help themselves read and think. I also teach them strategies that can help them with exams.

Writing

I have several teaching certifications, among them ESL/ESOL. This means that I am very good at teaching English as a second language. Although English is my own first language, I also have the perspective an outsider would have toward English. It makes me very good at explaining how and why the language works as it does. When it comes to vocabulary, expression, and structure, have no fear! I come from a large family of authors, publishers, and English teachers. Having a book or movie discussion with a group of us is like talking to Dickens, Shakespeare, and possibly even Cervantes!

Test Preparation

STAAR

STAAR

The STAAR test is a test of general elementary subjects and skills. I am a certified Texas elementary teacher. For years, I taught elementary school and also helped out with after-school tutoring geared towards these state tests. (Texas predecessors to the STAAR were TAKS, TAAS, and TABS.) My own sons took these tests and won medals for outstanding performance.

Helpful Middle School Spanish Tutor

Anne was excellent. My daughter needed to review material at the last minute for a final that was 4 days away. She fit us into her schedule at the last minute and met with her twice. My daughter did very well on the final. We are planning to hire Anne to tutor her this summer and next year for this subject. We would highly recommend her to tutor a Middle School Student.

Amie, 2 lessons with Anne

Awesome tutor

My son did so well with Mrs Anne. He hates Spanish and still got an A. She is patient, accommodating and very fun to work with. I recommend her all heartedly.

Walid, 18 lessons with Anne

Very knowledgeable Spanish tutor.

I am going to Cuba and hired Anne to tutor me in basic Spanish to get me ready for my trip. She went the extra mile by researching Cuban foods, animals, and other situations where I could use my Spanish. I have enjoyed getting to know her and feel very confident that I will be able to have an incredible trip due to her help with my Spanish!
