  • I am passionate about teaching others, and I have had a lifelong love of the Spanish language and culture.

About Me

I earned my Bachelor's degree in Spanish Teaching K-12 with a minor in Psychology from Eastern Kentucky University in 2008. I later pursued a Master's degree the Teaching of Languages with a Spanish emphasis, which I completed in 2015 through the University of Southern Mississippi. When I teach, I strive to truly connect with the student to ensure they are understanding and grasping the concepts. I aim to be very patient and diligent in this process. I have 8 years of formal experience teaching high school students, as well as experience teaching elementary grades in my undergraduate teaching program. I am certified to teach K-12 Spanish in the state of Kentucky, and my Master's degree in the Teaching of Spanish also qualifies me to teach at the university level. I enjoy approaching my teaching with creative aspects, a variety of resources, and connecting the content to real-world scenarios. I intend to use the strategies that allow you to learn best based on your personal learning style. I like to involve the learner in the tutoring session as much as possible, and I want to help students achieve their goals. Apart from my interest in Spanish, I enjoy spending time sewing and crafting, playing piano, hiking with my husband, and cuddling my two cats. If you need assistance in Spanish, I would be glad to help!

Q&A with Tessa

My primary goal is to facilitate language teaching to help students truly communicate in Spanish. I aim to teach in a way that is relevant to students and builds on their strengths and is tailored to their particular learning style. I strive to ensure that students meet their language goals through the use of authentic resources, interactive speaking activities, and setting small goals to increase student confidence.
