Spanish Tutoring from a Spanish Master of Arts!

I recently graduated from UCF with a Master's of Spanish with a 4.0 GPA. I pursued a Linguistics concentration within the Master's degree, and my thesis focused on processing dialectal variation in Spanish. Prior to that, I spent three years as an undergraduate at the University of Florida, graduating with a 3.9 GPA with a double major in Spanish and Linguistics. This dual perspective has provided me with a background in language acquisition and teaching that has allowed me to shape my lessons to better suit my students’ needs as a language learner. Throughout grad school, I worked part time as a Spanish tutor and supplemental instructor. Thus, I have years of experience tutoring and developing lesson plans for all levels of Spanish, from middle school to the college level. In addition, I have been able to add to my teaching experience by accepting a part-time English-teaching (ESL) position with a company called VIPKID shortly after graduation. This position has challenged me to develop a variety of teaching strategies to engage students, even those with no prior English exposure, in language learning. However, Spanish has always been my first love and I have a passion helping students master the language to which I have dedicated most of my academic and professional life.
