English and Spanish as a Second Language

Immerse yourself in language and culture.


Why Learn with me?


Overview

In class, we only speak the target language. This immersive teaching style and conversational approach help you learn the language faster and prepare you for real-life experiences. We have fun together, exploring the language in context and learning about the culture. You’ll feel confident speaking, not only in class but also with other native speakers.

STANDARDS FOR LANGUAGE INSTRUCTION

According to the Common European Framework of Reference for Language (CEFR), I follow curriculums from Cambridge University Press (English and Spanish). The CERF is an international standard for describing and assessing language ability on a scale from levels A1 (beginner) to C2 (master). Each of my students are assessed before beginning the course, and then placed into the appropriate level.
