Micaella: Santa Barbara tutor

Certified Tutor

I am an honors graduate of The Ohio State University with a BA in Linguistics, specializing in phonology, and a BA in Spanish and Hispanic Linguistics. I began tutoring Spanish and teaching ESL while in college, where I discovered my passion for teaching. When you learn a new language a whole new world is unlocked, and supporting others on their journey is one of my greatest joys. It's always so exciting watching my students grow in their fluency. I tutor both Spanish and English. One of my biggest assets as a language tutor is my personal experience studying languages. I've studied 7 over the course of my lifetime which means I have made just about every mistake in the book. I know just how stressful picking up a new language can be, from struggling with new sounds to having difficulty remembering vocabulary. Education is the key to success in life and learning a new language is a great way to further your education. I always try to share my love of learning with my students so that no matter what difficulties we may face, they're always ready to push forward because they enjoy it.
