Bienvenidos / Welcome to my homepage.

Congratulations on your interest in becoming fluent in Spanish. Bilingualism can add many wonderful opportunities to your adult life - it has for me: friendships, family, work, romance, travel, culture, literature, food, exploration....

I first learned Spanish in the classroom. When I moved to California I became friends with my Mexican neighbors, and then speaking Spanish became a very useful skill! I have visited their hometown in central Mexico many times with my own family.

I had the pleasure of living in the historic and beautiful city of Guanajuato, Mexico with my daughter. I wrote my Master's thesis while she went off to fourth grade and became quite fluent. I have traveled extensively in the Americas and in Spain. I am planning to ride my bicycle the length of South America.

I enjoy teaching, especially making a personal connection with my students. I strive to make my Spanish class active, fun, creative and relevant. As a Spanish teacher I get to weave language and culture together and help my students on their path to fluency. I look forward to being your teacher.
