As a passionate educator with a Master's in Teaching English as a Second Language and Bilingual Education from Georgetown University, I have over 33 years of experience in tutoring and classroom teaching across a variety of subjects, including Spanish, English grammar, reading, and writing, both US and world history, economics and personal finance, and world geography. My teaching philosophy centers on creating a supportive and engaging environment tailored to each student's unique learning style. I find joy in helping students discover that "aha" moment, whether through interactive activities or personalized lessons. Having taught diverse learners from different cultural backgrounds, I appreciate the importance of connecting language skills to real-world applications. Outside of tutoring, I enjoy exploring languages and cultures, which enriches my approach to teaching and inspires my students to embrace their own learning journeys.
