Tutor in Bellevue, Washington

I'm an
Individual
As long as I'm learning and helping others to learn, I'm happy! I studied at the State University of New York at Albany and earned three degrees. The first was a Bachelor of Science in Linguistics because I find language and acquisition of language so incredibly fascinating. In fact I find language so fascinating, I've studied Spanish, Italian, French, Japanese and Arabic! After earning this first degree, it became clear to me that I needed to be sharing my love of language with others. I went back to school the next year and earned a Bachelor of Arts in Spanish so I could eventually earn the Master of Science in Education and become a certified teacher. I have worked in both independent and public schools, day schools and boarding schools, and taught custom-designed classes for learners of all ages. I speak fluent Spanish, advanced Italian, and intermediate French and Japanese. I am currently employed as a middle school Spanish teacher with the Bellevue school district. The best teachers are also students, and I consider myself a lifelong student! To me, each student is like learning a new subject. As I study these fascinating individuals, I am able to learn how they learn so that my instruction is tailored to their unique minds. My classes and tutoring are designed to be fun, interactive and stress-free while still challenging each student to reach their fullest potential. Learning a new language can make us feel very vulnerable. I have found that students feel very comfortable learning with me. My goofy sense of humor extinguishes feelings of embarrassment, creating a space where expression can flow freely. During the initial consultation, I will work with the student to see what their goals are for our tutoring sessions. We will get to know each other and while doing so, I will be testing their knowledge of Spanish. From this initial consult, I will make my recommendations as to how often we should meet and what kinds of work will need to be done. Learning a language is a commitment and requires a lot of time and energy. It should be taken seriously, but it should also be fun! Please see my website for more information! www.....com
