Experience
I have a B.A. degree in Spanish and Linguistics from Grinnell College. I am passionate about tutoring students in a foreign language program and helping to increase their understanding of other cultures. I have been adept in Spanish since my time in elementary school where I was enrolled in a Spanish immersion program. I have been a Spanish tutor for students whose ages range from younger elementary grades to those of college level. I have worked with pupils who are just starting the language to those who are quite fluent speaking and writing Spanish. I lived for most of a year in Santiago, Chile where I taught English to high school students. The study of a foreign language can be one of the greatest challenges any student attempts. However, achieving a fluent reading and speaking level in a foreign language holds a tremendous sense of accomplishment for anyone. This achievement will certainly give a student an advantage with future employment opportunities. Foreign language fluency can also certainly help when traveling to a country where that particular language is spoken. I truly believe that a student can learn a language quicker and more proficiently when privately tutored. My outside interests and hobbies include touring, reading, plus running track and field.
