Research information:

I specialize in teaching Spanish as a foreign language. My experience as a part-time professor at the University has allowed me to be in contact with people of different ages and backgrounds. More than five years of experience teaching Spanish have shaped me as a teacher who can adapt different teaching methods to the specific needs of each student.

My education includes a master's degree in Spanish from the University of Ottawa and a Ph.D. in Spanish that I will get in spring 2013.

As private Spanish tutor, I had among my students, federal government employees, school students and retired adults who want to learn or improve their Spanish.

In my classes, I try to include as part of learning, the masterpieces of Hispanic American authors, Hispanic songs, newspaper articles and other materials that can improve the process of learning a new language.
