Spanish Language and Business Services

PROVIDER OF BUSINESS SERVICES

I am a communications and language professional with college degrees in these two areas that work in tandem effectively contributing to a wide range of essential business functions such as internal or external communications, development of creative and message strategy, persuasive copywriting, public relations, and traditional and digital media marketing, among many others.

I am also a fully bilingual, a native Spanish speaker, with over 10 years’ experience in advertising and marketing within local and national markets, as well as experienced with the diversity within US Hispanic markets.

Recognizing the increasing potential in the US Hispanic markets and considering ways to capitalize on addressing its needs, makes sound business sense.

 

SUPERIOR LANGUAGE TUTOR

My personal high regard for education and academic achievement, my experience teaching, counseling, tutoring, and parenting in a bi-lingual family, and my native command of English and Spanish has defined my approach to my language lessons and tutoring.  I strive to make the learning experience as intuitive, productive and enjoyable as possible. My English and Spanish language skills are complemented by my proficiency in additional romance languages (French and Italian) for better in-depth understanding of the language, and a valuable resource when it comes to meaningful and memorable explanations about grammar, vocabulary, idioms, exceptions and nuances. I have been a freelance tutor in Beaver County since 2010 and will do house calls or meet at a convenient location near you.

 

My Spanish accent is generic, having traveled and lived in a number of different Spanish countries and exposed to the varied Hispanic language diversity. I am able to help students preserve pronunciation from a specific country, if that were part of the language goal. A generic Spanish acent is preferable in the context of the diversity of US population, unless there is a cultural affiliation with a particular country. Individuals as well as teachers who are not native Spanish speakers, tend to adopt the Spanish accent from a particular country where they have taken residence, which is unavoidably adopted by their language students and often exaggerated.
