I am an experienced educator and Spanish tutor with a strong academic background. I hold a Ph.D. in Resource Management and Environmental Studies from the University of British Columbia, along with graduate training in philosophy and sociology.
In recent years, I have worked closely with secondary-school students in Vancouver, helping them improve their Spanish as a second language, particularly in speaking, listening, and confidence-building. I also have experience working with adult learners who want to travel, relocate, or feel comfortable communicating in Spanish-speaking countries.
My teaching style is clear, supportive, and conversational, combining structured explanations with practical, real-life language use so students gain confidence and see progress quickly.
