This private Spanish class is for students of any age and level. Students can be complete beginners or advanced students and I will adjust the class to the student level. In this class we will cover one lesson per day. The lesson material can be any topic the student wishes to learn (reading, grammar, test preparation, homework help, conversation skills etc.) The interaction in class will vary depending on the topic selected. For example, I will have a conversation with an advanced student in a conversation skills class. If it is more convenient, beginners can specify the Spanish lesson they would like to learn or select specific lessons from the sample list below. Since the class meets for 8 weeks then beginner students can select up to 8 lessons. I have more than 50 lessons students can choose from. 1) Alphabet Students will learn, for example, the pronunciation of the letter "A" and one or two words starting with the letter like "avion". 2) Numbers Students will learn the numbers from 1 to 100. 3) Family and greetings Students will learn relative names like primo (cousin) as well as common greetings like good morning (buenos dias). 4) Days, months and seasons Students will learn the name of the days of the week and months as well as the seasons (summer = verano). 5) Animals, plants and colors. Students will learn names like platano (banana) and the associated color like amarillo (yellow) 6) House and other places Students will learn common objects found around the house (bed, knife etc) 7) Around the school In this class students will learn common Spanish words used at school 8) Articles conjugation I will provide a power point presentation or a theme for the class depending on the topic selected. The student should be able to follow the class with the presentation and I suggest taking notes during the class.

Teacher expertise and credentials
I have been teaching for more than 20 years. I have a M.D from the University of Buenos Aires - Argentina and a MBA from Florida International University in Miami - Florida. I spent 5 years working as a doctor treating patients with diverse medical conditions. Also, I spent 4 years in healthcare facilities in various administrative positions.
My teaching experience started during the last year of my medical residency program when the chief of the ophthalmology department told me I needed to teach a class to medical students. I taught the class, everything went as planned and I thought that was going to be the first and the last time I was going to teach.To my surprise the following semester I had to teach the class again. The reason.....I got very good class reviews.
I strongly believe that students are capable of achieving success with the appropriate guidance and encouragement and that is a philosophy I apply to my own kids. They are 8 and 11 years old and since they were in kindergarten I have been teaching them everything I know. I am a native Spanish speaker. My son and daughter primary language is English but I taught them all the Spanish they know. At this time, they are able to maintain a conversation in Spanish.
