FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
At this moment, the fee for a lesson (per hour) through Skype is $15. The fee for in person lessons is $30/hour.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I think listening comprehension is fundamental for mastering a language. I provide my students (they can be for in person lessons or via Skype) with a lot of audio recordings (songs and conversations) from people of different Spanish speaking countries, so they can get used to different Spanish accents. These recordings come with the Spanish transcription and the English translation. I also provide any kind of information about pronunciation, reading and writing. I can answer any grammar question, no matter how complex it could be. I can work with all types of students, from beginners to very advanced.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Besides being a native speaker of Spanish, I taught in Spanish (chemistry) in South America at a university for several years. I am currently a Spanish instructor at Washtenaw Community College (Ann Arbor, Michigan). I have been working there since 2011.
