About Me

I am pursing my Masters in Medical Sciences, from graduating with my bachelors in biology from Loyola University Chicago last year. I will be continuing my education by getting my masters and eventually medical school, but in the meantime I would like to make use of how I have dedicated my life to education and helping to pass on my knowledge to others. I have been speaking Spanish for 10 years now as my fourth language and I am tutoring in Spanish (all levels, A1-C2) and linguistics. To have effective learning, it is imperative to have a good foundation of structure, lesson plans, and engaging learning activities to have the student become comfortable with real-life communication and comprehension. I use curative, teaching certified lesson plans, including all the parts of the language: reading, writing, listening, and speaking. My students and I will alternate between these four skills, becoming more comfortable with each of them overtime and integrating them all. In addition, I find much joy and take a lot of pride in my efforts to have become educated and educate those around me. I love to take the time to help people feel seen, appreciated, and to provide any support that I can to ensure my students are able to move forward on their own, especially since I have struggled with a learning disability myself and have only ever wished for someone to be patient with me and my learning. I have experience teaching students with disabilities, different learning preferences, faster and slower learning paces, and all over the USA! You will find I am flexible with my schedule also and can personalize lessons plans accordingly. I also like to do periodical check-ups and assessments to see the progress the student and I are making and seeing how we can only grow more! I have lived in three Spanish speaking countries such as Spain, Belize, and Chile. I have also spent a lot of time, a few + months, in Madrid, Barcelona, and Santiago de Chile with close friends, much like family, and I have visited Argentina, Uruguay, Mexico, and Mallorca (a Spanish Gran Canarias Island). I also live in Chicago where the culture is very Mexican influenced so I have experience with the Mexican dialect and cultural customs. My mother also lives in Florida so I've had exposure to the Cuban, Dominican, and Puerto Rican dialects and cultures as well. This has allowed me to expand my cultural awareness and become comfortable with different dialects, customs, and even jargon and slang! This list will only continue to grow hopefully!
