Looking for a Spanish Tutor?
Look no further! Alongside my art and work at Community House Damaris, I am also an active and experienced Spanish teacher (with a Master's in teaching it as a second language).
I love grammar, idomatic expressions and witnessing my students' "aha" moments when a new way of thinking and seeing the world is discovered. Learning a language is more than just speaking and comprehending words, verbs and expressions. It's about discovering the culture and beliefs embedded in them.
I love teaching all levels -- from beginners to advanced. I'll tailor the class to your level and your needs. Come along with me, and I'll guide you carefully to fluency -- whilst having a lot of fun! You never know, you may just be a few months away to speaking a langauge that feels even more like "you" -- than your native tongue! (That's what happened to me with Spanish!)
