"I have been fortunate enough to grow up speaking different languages. I have studied in Spain, in Salamanca and in Firenze, Italy. I travelled and lived in Spain, Costa Rica, Mexico and Italy. For the past 18 years I have lived in the USA where I have worked as a translator, teacher and travel organizer. I tutored students of different ages: from young children, High School students and also adults that need to learn another language while relocating overseas or want either pass Goethe Institute exam or just learn the simple communication phrases when going on vacation. Teaching languages is my passion, my lessons are vibrant, energetic, filled with conversations and I make sure I will make you talk very quickly. I am very efficient and I make it fun for you. Because of my extensive traveling, I also have the knowledge not only of the language, but also the culture, history, food and all additional aspects that you will learn. Learning the language goes along with the other cultural aspects. German is my native language, but my Spanish and Italian are excellent. I lived and studied in Spain, in the city of Salamanca where you learn the best Spanish - Castellano.And later I lived in Firenze enjoying the beautiful landscapes of Toscany. I love what I do and I have fun teaching languages. I am good with people, I adapt very quickly to everybody's level and I know everybody is different. I guarantee you, you will learn to speak German, Spanish or Italian quickly and you won't be bored. Barbara" less...
