"I am a native Spanish speaker from Colombia. I am currently studying my PhD in Spanish at Cornell University. I also have a masters degree in Literary Creation in Spanish (Barcelona) and a bachelors and a masters degree in Philosophy. I have extensive experience with Spanish tutoring and with teaching both Spanish and English as foreign languages. I also have experience learning foreign languages (French and German) and have lived in several countries. Because Spanish is my first language I have a perfect command of the Spanish language, including rigorous use of grammar, spelling and development of written texts. Because of my background in Philosophy, I also have outstanding reading comprehension abilities. I also have extensive experience teaching children and beginners, as well as advanced students in Spanish 4 and 5 and adults of all ages and in all levels. I also have experience teaching for specific career purposes, such as education, health care services, etc. I have worked with translations and proof reading. I also do very well with children, and help them learn, practice and become confident in speaking the language. I make my classes dynamic and according to each student's need. All of my students have found success in their Spanish language learning . I would love to help you or your children regardless of the level. Feel free to send me any questions that you have!" less...
