"I am fluent in both English and Spanish and hold a Bachelor of Science in Applied Biochemistry from Lipscomb University. While my academic background is in the sciences, my love of languages and helping others communicate has shaped much of my teaching and tutoring experience. I believe language learning should feel both practical and enjoyable, and I work with students to make Spanish come alive in ways that are meaningful to them.

Over the years, I have helped children, teens, and adults gain confidence in Spanish by adapting lessons to fit each learner’s goals. For some, that means focusing on grammar and schoolwork; for others, it may involve conversational practice, travel preparation, or simply building comfort using the language in everyday life. I often bring in aspects of Spanish-speaking culture—such as music, food, and traditions—so that students experience language as a living connection rather than just words on a page.

My approach is encouraging, patient, and interactive. I want students to feel supported as they learn, knowing that mistakes are part of the process and progress comes with practice. Whether you are starting from scratch or looking to refine your skills, I strive to create a learning environment where Spanish feels approachable, useful, and even fun." less...
