I'm a passionate educator with experience working with children and teens of all ages, learning styles, and backgrounds. I graduated with a degree in Biology and also studied Pharmacy at the University of Santiago de Compostela in Spain. I currently work as a high school Special Education and Inclusion Science teacher. Over the years, I've worked closely with bilingual learners and students with special needs, and I truly value creating a patient, encouraging environment where students feel comfortable learning, asking questions, and building confidence. I offer both private and group Spanish classes for toddlers and through high school age. My classes are hands-on, interactive, and designed to make learning fun and natural for every age group. I also provide virtual and in-person tutoring sessions and general academic help for students. I'm fluent in English, Spanish, Portuguese, and Galician, which allows me to connect with many bilingual and multilingual families.
Catuxa was our babysitter for a full year, when her college schedule became too full. Because she has worked as a teacher for years, and our children trust her, we kept her on as a Spanish and pre-algebra tutor. She has a gift for teaching. She is steady, firm and kind, and gives the children the push they need when they need it, as well as the space to try and fail without judgment. She will patiently wait through protests and arguing that that's not what the teacher said, only to watch the children discover what was intended by the teacher's comments and what the directions actually mean. She goes the distance to craft her own custom worksheets, with the awareness of what specific skills need extra practice, versus just making the kids do busywork. The children know she believes in them and they have gained confidence in their own problem solving skills as a result of the time spent with her just once a week. Amazing.
