About Me And Spanish Con Twist
I am a Certified Spanish Teacher (M.Ed. & Instituto Cervantes) specializing in International and Bilingual Education.
Having a background in Marketing and Business, I consider myself to be a creative, effective, and resourceful teacher with a focus on understanding and addressing the students' individual styles, needs, and goals.
I pride myself on having a wide range of perspectives and a holistic approach to teaching and learning. I took a photography course in NY, learned to dance salsa in Cuba, and a cooking course in Sri Lanka. Early on I learned valuable lessons in life from both my high school philosophy teacher and from my grandma who loved languages and was a self-described anglophile.
The curious child in me has a love of travel, which has brought me to live in different places, learn about cultures, and meet people that I will always treasure.
From Barcelona, Spain, I have spent more than a decade between London, Holbox (México), New York City, and Berlin.
I have traveled extensively, more specifically Central America, and Mexico. (Should I also mention 6 years living in the Puerto Rican neighborhood in Brooklyn?). Therefore, I embrace my language's many cultural layers I have been lucky to experience and soak in.
In my classes, we CELEBRATE cultural diversity, EMBRACE the depth of the language, and HONOR the profundity of the culture.
FIVE things about myself:
LOVE film and literature
PASSION for arts and culture
NEED meditation in my daily life
LIKE to walk around big cities
DESIRE for exploring new places.
