"Buenos Días. I am currently a teacher of Spanish and German in the Pittsburgh Public school system. I am certified to teach Spanish and have lived in Mexico.

I understand and promote oral proficiency in the language through emphasis on speaking, listening and writing. I am trained to rate speech samples in Spanish up to and including the distiguished level.

The most effective method for learning a foreign language is to visit the country where the language is spoken. If that is not feasible a teacher who creates live event situations for practice in the language is the optimal approach to learning, using, and retaining second language proficiency.

I look forward to asisting in the enhancement of language acquisition for you or your child." less...
