Lisa teaches Spanish with an emphasis on building grammar systematically — verb conjugations across tenses, pronoun placement, ser versus estar — so that students can construct sentences on their own rather than translating word-by-word from English. She covers Spanish 1 through Spanish 2 material and tailors sessions to whether a student needs help with classroom assignments, conversational fluency, or exam prep. Her background in anthropology also brings cultural context into language learning, which makes vocabulary and idiomatic expressions easier to retain.

Pre-law coursework at Vanderbilt means Kit spends most of his time building arguments, analyzing texts, and writing persuasively — skills that transfer surprisingly well to learning a second language, where reading comprehension and grammatical precision matter just as much. He tackles Spanish grammar and vocabulary with the same structured, detail-oriented approach he applies to political science, breaking down sentence construction and verb forms into clear, logical steps.

Elsa's chemistry coursework at Vanderbilt means she's spent years decoding Latin and Greek roots in scientific nomenclature — a habit that transfers surprisingly well to building Spanish vocabulary, where the same root systems show up across hundreds of everyday words. She also lists conversational Spanish among her teaching subjects, so sessions move beyond grammar drills into actual spoken practice that builds real comfort with the language.

Caroline double-majored in Spanish at Vanderbilt, so she's spent years inside the language — reading literature, writing essays, and navigating verb tenses well beyond the present indicative. Whether a student is wrestling with the subjunctive mood or trying to nail down ser versus estar in context, she explains the underlying logic that makes grammar rules stick.

Jumping from vocabulary lists to actual comprehension is the hardest transition in Spanish, and it usually stalls around verb conjugation and sentence structure.

Hi, my name is Jorge and I am from Lima Peru. Most of my academic experience is related to Biomedical sciences, in the fields of Molecular Biology, Genetics, Biochemistry, Cell Biology and development. During my PhD, I had a proactive role organizing scientific symposiums and retreats. This trained my presentation skills to share my research in important scientific meetings in the US: I won best poster award at the Gordon Research Conference (GRC) in 2022 and was an invited speaker at Cold Spring Harbor meeting in 2023, among others. Besides my research experience, I have a strong commitment to improve higher education in STEM. Since 2020, I co-direct the Research Experience for Peruvian Undergrads (REPU) program, that provides international scientific internships to Peruvian undergrads in top universities in the US and Europe. I have the chance to mentor undergards in STEM. Additionally, I am a native Spanish speaker, which allowed me to give Spanish lessons to some students in the USA. I want to use my best of my abilities to support students and build a career for myself in Education.
