I spent 25 years in the U.S. Navy and have traveled to Spain and South America.

I have taught and tutored students of all ages. I taught adults in my business classes as an adjunct instructor at a California community college. I later tutored students in the tutoring center at Arapahoe Community College. I have tutored online and in-home for primary and high school students.

My passion is American History and I love tutoring Spanish. My English qualifications are based on undergraduate studies in literature, and I have 20 years experience as a freelance writer where I contributed blogs, articles, and white papers to online customers at Writer Access and Verblio.

If you are experiencing problems in your studies of Spanish, American History, or English (grammar, composition, etc.), I'm the tutor who can come to your rescue and unblock the log jam to get you caught up and ahead. I will work with you, your parents, and your teachers, whose common goal is your success.
