About Taja

Professional, enthusiastic instructor with 25 years of experience teaching Spanish. Certified in teaching English as a second language and some experience teaching French. Educational philosophy: A second language is best acquired through storytelling, personal connections, and consistent, focused practice and application. I'd describe my personality as patient, humorous, understanding I like tutoring because it gives me a broader perspective of different learning styles and am inspired by students' experiences and success in their learning. I started tutoring off and on in college. In my spare time, I like to do yoga, go to concerts, and latin dancing. My skills include comprehensible input, adaptive to learner needs, advanced proficiency in Spanish
