I have been teaching Spanish during 34 years at high schools and at the University and during 14 years by Skype

I am from Peru, which is where I started my career in teaching. For nearly five years I taught Spanish as a Second Language to American young adults who were preparing to serve Spanish-speaking missions in South America. Additionally, I was a Spanish editor. I developed great attention to detail and excelled in the correct and elegant use of the Spanish language. Lately, I have worked as a Spanish Instructor for Language Bird in Los Angeles. During that time, I taught students and career professionals from the basic, intermediate and advanced levels of Spanish. It would be a pleasure to meet with you at your convenience to discuss my qualifications, as well as any Spanish language needs you may have.
