Education
University of Delaware - Bachelors, Foreign Language, Literature and Culture: Spanish Studies
Experience
I recently graduated from the University of Delaware with a bachelor's degree in foreign language, literature, and culture. As someone whose family is originally from the Dominican Republic, I've had a love for Spanish language and Latin American cultures from a young age. Having the privilege of growing up immersed in the language has helped me to understand the intricate details of Spanish so that I'm able to teach them to aspiring language learners. Throughout my academic career, I worked as a tutor and helped a wide range of people from all walks of life learn how to speak Spanish more fluently. I believe that everyone learns languages differently, and what works for one person might not be the best teaching strategy for someone else. For this reason, I like to approach each student differently and learn more about their strengths and weaknesses so that I'm able to create learning material that's designed specifically for them. Furthermore, I also believe that learning a second language is something that requires a lot of activities and classroom participation. Instead of drilling vocabulary words and covering workbook exercises throughout the duration of the lesson, I like to come up with fun games and exercises so that students are always able to practice what they've learned.
