"I was born in the Czech Republic, of Polish and Czech parents, and lived most of my life in Europe. My education includes the Hotel School in Opava and the C. Ritz Hotel School in Meran, Italy. Living and working in France and Germany has broadened my experience. I am now a Permanent Resident of the US and leaned Spanish over the last 20 years. I listen to Radio Prague Online everyday in six languages to keep current with changes in language and colloquial expressions. I have a lifetime of experience in the hospitality industry and enjoy helping others to reach their full potential and expand their experience of other cultures.

Having lived and worked in many countries has given me in-depth understanding of both the languages and cultures of these countries. I am fluent in Czech, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Slovak, and Russian an am able to teach from English or any of these languages to any of the others in speech, writing, or reading.

I am open to teaching online or in-person in the northeast Florida area. I am flexible as to time and scheduling and format of instruction. Responsiveness to the needs of my students is my first priority. Please contact me to find out how easy and enjoyable learning a new language can be." less...
