If you are looking to truly learn the Spanish language, you have come to the right place. The reason I say this is because I am a non-native Spanish speaker that has gone the extra mile to learn. I wasn't the biggest fan of foreign language in high school; in fact, I took tech classes to satisfy my language credits. It wasn't until I studied abroad, where I learned what a powerful tool knowing multiple languages could be, that I came to enjoy them. During my sophomore year at Hofstra University I studied at the University College of Dublin where I made friends from all over the world; all of them spoke at least two languages. From there I was determined to learn Spanish. During that following summer I moved to Spain and lived with a friend and his family where I was immersed in the language. After I finished my Business degree at Hofstra I was able to attend Molloy College and earn a BS in Spanish language and begin working on a Master's in Education. I now work for Booker Software where I implement software for enterprise level Spanish clients. Each day I am able to use this language I never thought I would need in such an informative way. Through my experiences I know I can help students of every level. I can relate to students who may not have the drive to learn another language because I myself have been there and can understand their feeling. While on the other hand I am a great resource for students who enjoy the language and are looking to learn from someone who uses Spanish in their everyday life. For the last three years I have been tutoring students of all different levels and they have all made great strides in the classroom. I have varied experience working with many business' throughout the world and that gives me great knowledge in regards to international business and local and foreign economics. I hope to be helping your child in the classroom soon.
