Experience
I am a native Spanish speaker, and began learning English as a second language after graduating from college in Mexico City. I completed a full English Course from Basic through TOEFL exam training, and then started an intensive course of Italian at Mexico City’s Istituto Italiano di Cultura, where I was a scholarship recipient. Gaining fluency in these two languages as an adult helped me learn highly efficient language training methods that I have used in turn with private students in English and Spanish. In New York I also began studying French and German, including courses at the Alliance Française and the Deutsches Haus at New York University.
