About Me

I am a recent transplant to the Portland area after spending the last 4 plus years in Ecuador. I have been involved in education my whole life both as a student and teacher/professor, in various environments. As a student of Spanish,I have reached the highest level- C2(Advanced/professional) but I continue to learn and grow, research the best learning methods and tools, and take this to the classroom. I have helped students advance, improve and grow in Spanish, English, TOEFL test prep, and poker, and have formed many great relationships along the way. I'm easy going but like to challenge and connect with my students and really feel I do a good job adapting to allow them to get the most out of our sessions, classes, and my extensive experience. Currently, i am in the process of publishing a book about gaining fluency in Spanish which breaks down in an easy fashion the self- study strategies, tricks, tips,and tools that I used to become fluent in the language. Outside of the education world I have held some other interesting professional positions, and have traveled both around the country and world extensively. All of these experiences have made me a better instructor and tutor and I hope to be able to help you advance in Spanish, ESL or whatever it is you are studying!
