I am a certified Spanish teacher with 13 years of experience teaching in public and private education settings. I studied abroad in Spain, have an MA in Spanish teaching, and a MA in Languages and Linguistics, focusing on Second Language Acquisition.Class Experience
Do you feel like your learner "knows" Spanish, but can't speak it? The best way to gain confidence in speaking Spanish is, you guessed it, speaking Spanish! As a trained K-12 Spanish teacher, I have worked with all levels of learner, from beginner to advanced, to help students expand not only the Spanish that they know, but also their comfort applying it in real conversations. I have also been trained in the Oral Proficiency Interview (OPI), which helps me listen to where learners are, and help them work towards the next level. Making sure all students feel comfortable and safe to take language risks is key to developing each learner's confidence. I will quickly get to know each learner's ability level, and support them with guided questions, vocabulary support, and some English support as they need to help them feel comfortable and confident in their developing Spanish speaking skills. This class works well both with a single learner, as well as a group of peers! Drop in to work on your Spanish and have a fun time chatting! New topics discussed weekly.

Hello, and thanks for checking out my page! I am a certified teacher with a K-12 teaching degree in Spanish teaching. I am looking forward to providing classes to help students learn Spanish for the first time, develop their existing skills to take their language to the next level, and also provide other fun class offerings of my other passions including drama and tap dance!
Each of these areas have been a passion of mine that I am excited to share with you! Here is my background in each:
Spanish: I always enjoyed taking Spanish classes, and had the experience of that magical teacher who inspired me to want to share the joy of learning Spanish with others! I received my Bachelors of Arts in the Teaching of Spanish from the University of Illinois, where I spent a semester doing a homestay in Granada, Spain. I continued my studies of how to be an effective language teacher with a Rotary Ambassadorial Scholarship to the University of Manchester, England, where I received my Masters degree in Languages and Linguistics. I love working with students in elementary through high school to help them become confident in their language learning!
Drama: I worked in a local park district drama camp that produced student musicals each summer for many years. I actively participate in community theatre musicals, and can help you learn how to audition confidently, and have fun expressing yourself! I have completed the improv training (classes A-E) at Second City in Chicago, and enjoy bringing acting to my students through choreographing a musical, and founding a Performing Arts Club at my school.
Tap: I have been tap dancing since I was 2! I love to keep working on my skills with regular tap and ballet classes, and would love to help you learn the basics, or enhance your skills through some fun routines and new moves!
My teaching philosophy is I believe in the value of connecting to students by learning who they are, and helping them grow from where they are starting! I believe all students can learn and develop their skills, and I can help make these classes fun and rewarding. I hope to see you there!Reviews
