FAQs

What services do you offer?

1

I offer private Spanish tutoring and instruction for individuals and small groups. Learn more on the services page.


How do I get started?

2

Getting started is simple. Reach out to me through the contact form below or directly by email. I will try to get back to you within one business day to set up a quick, no-cost, phone or video chat to discuss your needs and goals. If you decide to move forward, we’ll schedule our lessons from there.


What are your qualifications?

3

I am a certified teacher through the Oregon State Teacher Standards and Practices Commission, and have multiple years experience working with students in 6-12 classrooms. I also have nearly two decades experience teaching Spanish to adults through one-on-one instruction. I hold an M.Ed. and a B.A. in Spanish.


Where are lessons/tutoring sessions held?

4

Most students choose to have our lessons together online, I use Google Chat and other Google tools (Docs, Drive, etc.) to facilitate our lessons together. If you prefer to have lessons in person, I offer that as well! You can let me know where you feel comfortable having your lessons (a cafe, public library, etc) and that’s where we’ll meet.


Why do you have a sliding scale and not set rates?

5

One of my most deeply held beliefs as an educator, is that all students deserve equitable access to a quality, rigorous education that will prepare them to lead successful and happy lives. A sliding scale allows me to make a living as an educator, while still being able to be flexible when a student needs help and can’t afford to pay as much as another student is able to pay. As such, I request that all students/families/parents/guardians be open and honest with me about what they can afford, this will allow me to continue my mission of helping as many students as I can. Read more on the Services page about how I determine rates on the sliding scale.
