About
I am someone who is interested in the needs for each student and help them become better at what they need and/or wish to learn. I try to make learning fun and interactive and also teach the students the basics of Latin/Spanish culture so they can have a more broad understanding of the language.
I enjoy teaching about culture and how beutiful language is and how can open the door for different worlds. I enjoy teaching and meeting people of all cultures and backgrounds.
I personally enjoy sharing about culture, music and food!
I believe that learning can be fun and understanding other is also fun.
