Originally from New Jersey, USA, I have lived in various parts of the US and abroad. I'm a native English speaker and speak with a neutral accent. My Spanish is a mixture of influences but I speak with an American accent. I love to travel so I'll probably be coming to you from outside the US, most likely Central or South America so I can continue to practice my Spanish. I completed my Masters in TESOL and Spanish in December of 2022 where I taught classes in English and Spanish. For my culminating project, I created a course, in both English and Spanish, focusing on environmental tourism. I'm TESOL and TEFL certified My teaching style is based on the conversational approach with various other elements included. This means there will be plenty of time for you to practice speaking but instruction will be included as necessary. If this were an actual classroom with multiple students, I would be using a flipped classroom model where most of the instruction is given outside of the classroom, usually by video, and then the time spent in the classroom is focused on practicing what was just learned. Here, I will tailor your instruction as needed after getting to know your goals and interests.
