About
I recieved my Bachelor's Degree in Communication Sciences and Disorders with minors in Spanish and Psychology. I am a non-native Spanish speaker who is passionate about the language and it's different cultures. With my first language being English I am very familiar with the challenges that come along with learning Spanish as a non-native speaker. I have experience in missions in Mexico with Spanish speaking children adolescents and young adults as well experience in tutoring high school/college level students taking required beginner Spanish courses (SPAN 1101, 1102, 1153).
I am very passionate about this subject and will always provide a interactive, engaging environment for students. I am very flexible and am willing to travel to students or work through zoom. I hope to give my clients fun tips and tricks that I learned throughout my years at LSU that makes learning the language easy and engaging while accomodating teach student and their different learning types.
I love being able to work with different types of students and learning the many types of personalities and learning styles that students offer. It's very rewarding to take part in helping students acquire skills and tactics for mastering their courses.

What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I received my Bachelor's in Communication Sciences anf Disorders with a double-minor in Spanish and Psychology. I have experience in working with children of all ages as well as a thorough understanding in psychology and the cognitive functions that come along with language adquisition in sequential second language learning.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
I would like to work on an hourly basis if that is possible. However I am flexible on when I receive payments depending on what works best for the student or their parents/ legal guardians. I am also very flexible on pricing. I usually require $15-20/hr, but am willing negotiate prices if necessary. I am extremely passionate about the language and love to teach it. Although I will be tutoring students, I love being able to go back to the basics of the language because I believe I can learn from the student as much as they can learn from me.
What types of students have you worked with?
High School beginner Spanish and College level beginner courses.
