I am a native Spanish speaker, I moved to New York as a teenager. It was then I discovered languages open doors beyond communication, they are amazing tools to relate with other human beings and expand our understanding of the world. I am also proficient in Italian, I have recently spent a couple of years in Italy creating different Language Courses with the Province of Salerno. Languages can take you on incredible journeys.

In languages especially, I can bring students to great leaps in proficiency through low-stress, research-backed methods like immersion in "comprehensible input" and learning through stories and cultural material with lots of context.

Since no student is completely unfamiliar to the subject he is...More
