"With a Master’s in Translation and Interpretation from the University of Guadalajara and an Educational Specialist degree in Educational Leadership from Jacksonville State University, I bring 27 years of teaching expertise to help students master Spanish. As a dedicated educator at C. High School, I specialize in Spanish II through AP Spanish, guiding students from foundational skills to advanced fluency. My real-world experience as a real estate agent, assisting Spanish-speaking clients in Cartersville and Smyrna, Georgia, enriches my lessons with practical, culturally relevant content. For nearly three decades, I’ve taught Spanish to high school students (ages 14–18) in classroom settings, focusing on levels II through AP. My approach blends structure and engagement, using interactive methods like conversational role-plays, cultural discussions, and AP-style practice to build confidence and proficiency. I tailor lessons to individual needs—whether it’s mastering verb conjugations, excelling on AP exams, or speaking fluently for travel or work. My students benefit from my deep understanding of language acquisition, honed through my graduate studies in translation and interpretation, which emphasizes linguistic precision and cultural nuance.

In addition to classroom teaching, I’ve tutored students one-on-one and in small groups (ages 12–adult) for over 15 years, both privately and through school programs. As a tutor, I create a supportive, dynamic environment where students feel empowered to excel. My leadership training equips me to motivate learners, while my real estate work enhances lessons for adults seeking practical Spanish. Whether you’re a high schooler aiming for AP success, a college student refining skills, or an adult learning for career or travel, I’m here to guide you with personalized, impactful lessons. Let’s embark on your Spanish journey together!" less...
