¡Saludos! I am a former teacher of Spanish for grades 7 through 12, including Advanced Placement classes, as well as an in-house language instructor, translator, and interpreter for a large engineering company. I am a magna cum laude graduate of Vanderbilt University with a major in Spanish, and I've done graduate coursework in translation/interpretation at Georgia State University.

My work history also includes 40+ years in the fields of international education and international development. I have lived in Spain, Mexico and Guatemala. My schedule is quite flexible as I am recently retired.

How does a native English speaker end up teaching Spanish and loving other languages and linguistics in general? It all stems from the influence of the person who initially piqued my interest -- my 9th-grade Spanish teacher! I try to bring not only those same teaching skills but also -- and even more importantly -- that same contagion and excitement for learning Spanish to my tutoring.

Feel free to reach out for an initial consultation to discuss your needs. We will tailor our sessions accordingly. Whether that means complementing your current classes at school or getting you ready for a vacation in Argentina, we can be flexible in our approach so that we come up with a plan that benefits you.
