"Saludos a todos!!! My name is Selma. I am from Venezuela. I am Electronic Engineer and I just finished my Master in International Business Administration concentration on IT. My background and knowledge are a combination between engineer, sales & developing projects, customer services and cross cultural experience. But my best skill is connecting with the people through the language usage. I enjoy having conversations with everyone and I think that the best way to improve the language skills is exchanging thought and ideas with others. I invite any person who would like to learn speak Spanish “talk” as much as she/he can about everything. With me you could feel free to talk about any topic and at the same time you could improve your Spanish skill in specific fields such as Business, Technology, Latin American Culture and Life, Politic, Math, Physics and more.

Teaching areas: I am located in Miramar. I can reach any area 25 miles around."

Hola estudiantes! My name is Pilar.  I'm a professional Spanish teacher from Spain.  I worked for 7 years teaching Spanish to foreign born students in an elementary and high school in Madrid. In addition, I have privately tutored adults learning Spanish for more than 10 years. My native language is Spanish but I am also bilingual in French and fluent in English. I grew up in Madrid and graduated from the "Universidad Autónoma de Madrid."  I'm currently living in San Diego for 1 year to  further my studies at the University. I believe that my years of experience in teaching Spanish have allowed me to tailor my efforts specifically towards the goals of my students. I really enjoy teaching my language and helping my students learn and improve their language skills. I think that in the current times it is very important to know many languages and to discover other cultures. I believe this helps us to grow personally and professionally.
