"I am a Spanish and French professor with 16 years experience instructing Spanish, French, Italian, English, and ESL. My background also includes AP Spanish and French test preparation.

I earned my BA in Spanish and French from the University of California. I studied Spanish in Santiago, Chile, at Pontificia Universidad Catolica de Chile - Chile's premier university - where I researched Spanish literature and linguistics.

In addition to my degrees, I have completed advanced courses in French conversation, French linguistics, and have stayed a significant time in France and Francophone Africa.

I am a heritage speaker of Italian with dual US/Italian citizenship. I have certificates of proficiency in Italian and lived part of my life in Rome with my Italian family.

My studies required a mastery of grammar, vocabulary, reading, and language use comprehension. I have helped many students gain thorough and complete proficiency with my experience. My goal is to help my students gain skills and to feel empowered and confident, not overwhelmed.

I look forward to working with you!" less...
