About
There are many qualities to my teaching that set me apart from others: my enthusiastic and engaging methods, my sense of humor, my ability to turn everything into a learning experience, my stories about my personal experiences throughout the world, and my custom teaching materials - games, songs, and mnemonic techniques. All of these come together to make for a truly enjoyable and memorable learning experience. I love meeting people, getting to know their stories, and helping them attain their dream of language proficiency.

Kimber Hawkey was my French Professor at PVCC. It was a beginning course. I had only spoken Spanish before and was worried about being able to differentiate from the two different languages. Whats amazing about Kimber is that she also speaks Spanish fluently, and French, and English. Once I saw how she did it with ease, it quickly soothed my anxiety. She is incredibly enthusiastic about teaching. I can feel the adrenaline she feels when one of her students is learning and comprehending her completely. She came into class everyday happy and ready to go with the lesson. What made her so interesting was every story she had to tell about every new topic. Her life experiences make you want to learn over and over again, more and more. She doesnt only teach you the language, she goes in depth with the culture. She has so much personal experience with the people, the food, the wine, the trends, the history and the geography of the French. It is quite breathtaking to watch her. She doesnt just stand at the balckboard. She makes you participate. There are songs, group activites, skits, and food. She really makes you feel as if you have been to Paris and back. I cannot stress enough that Kimber Hawkey is by far the best professor I have had the pleasure of learning from. Even know, she will always write me in French. Even though she is no longer a professor of mine, I still learn so much from her. I highly recommend Kimber Hawkey.

Kimber is a very enthusiastic and proficient teacher. We covered a lot of ground in the Spanish lessons but I felt I was able to master the material with her help. She definitely helped me in my conversation skills.

Senora Kimber was a terrific teacher! I always disliked Spanish classes in school but having it seem like a bunch of friends getting together and talking and working on learning new skills made learning Spanish much easier. She also suggested very valuable websites that made searching for words and verb conjugations simple. Highly recommend her as a teacher!
