Samantha: Birmingham tutor
Certified Tutor
As a licensed Spanish teacher in the state of Iowa, my passion lies in helping students discover the beauty of the Spanish language and the richness of Spanish-speaking cultures. I especially enjoy sharing my knowledge of Spain, with a special focus on the Basque Countrya region that has deeply influenced my teaching and learning journey. Whether you're just starting out or looking to strengthen your language skills, I strive to create a welcoming, engaging environment where students feel confident and motivated to learn. I believe that language learning is not just about grammar and vocabularyit's about connecting with people, cultures, and perspectives beyond our own.

Outside of teaching, I have a variety of hobbies and interests that I love to share with my students. I enjoy reading—mostly fiction—and always have a good book nearby. I love to travel and have been lucky enough to visit eight countries so far, with many more on my list. One of my favorite daily activities is going on long walks with my German Shepherd, who keeps me active and entertained. During the summer, I make it a point to visit my local farmers market every week to enjoy fresh produce and support local vendors. These activities help me stay curious, relaxed, and inspired—qualities I bring into my teaching as well.
