"Dear Prospective Student: Greetings. And thank you for this opportunity to describe how I can help you gain command and confidence in both spoken and written Spanish! For the past 10 years, I have worked as a Spanish medical interpreter and translator. Thus, I have had to acquire the highest level of ability in this language in order to perform professionally.

I take great satisfaction in helping others. Learning a new language, such as Spanish, does not come easily for all people. For this reason, my approach is personable and patient. At the same time, learning should be FUN! If you're having fun, you will learn more quickly and NOT GIVE UP!

Whatever your current fluency level may be, I will stay with you until you achieve the improvement you seek. Thank you for your time; I look forward to working with you.

*10 years professional experience as an interpreter and translator.

* Intensive training in academic settings (college), travelling in Spanish-speaking countries and many years of self-study.

*Constantly working to improve my own mastery in all areas of the subject.

You can easily contact me any day of the week between 8:00 a.m.-8:00 p.m.; I will get back to you quickly--usually within 24 hours.

I am willing to work with you at the location of your choice. That can be your home, a public institution such as a library or any other reasonable setting that meets your needs." less...
