I am a graduate of the University of Massachusetts Amherst. I received my Bachelor of Arts in Spanish Language. During my junior year I did a direct exchange with the University of Granada and spent 6 months studying there. After graduating I received additional certification in translation from the University of Massachusetts Boston. I am extremely passionate about languages and language learning as a way to connect with and learn about other people. I believe that the best way to learn a language is to tailor learning to the individual- the way you learn best is the way I will set up your lessons. As a translator I understand how important it is to be aware of the nuances of meaning as well the importance of a strong grammatical foundation and I will do my utmost to give that to all my students. Whether you want to pass a certain level, to be able to speak conversationally, or to be able to read fluently, I can help you reach your goals.
