- Having taught Spanish 101, I find joy in making language learning engaging and accessible.
About Me
As a dedicated educator with an MA in Spanish focused on literature and film studies from the University of Mississippi and a BA in English and Spanish from the University of Central Arkansas, I am passionate about fostering a supportive learning environment that empowers students to excel. With over ten years of tutoring experience, including a graduate assistantship teaching Spanish and working at the Academic Excellence Center for student-athletes at UM, I have a proven track record of helping students achieve their academic goals, from getting an A to passing a CLEP or AP exam, from learning to read to scoring well on the ACT. My teaching philosophy centers on personalized, one-on-one sessions, where I adapt my methods to each student's unique learning style. Beyond tutoring, my background in film as a script supervisor and my travels in Latin America enrich my teaching perspective and cultural insights. I am committed to inspiring a love for learning and helping students thrive. I have ADHD and autism and experience working with students with the same.
