Bio
I enjoy languages and I love the enrichment they provide to ones' life. I taught German in America and Germany and have a Master's degree in German Studies from the University of Arizona.
I offer supportive tutoring as I also had a few hurdles during the learning process, however I aim to see many learners reach their full academic potential. I am an enthusiastic individual, and I hope to inspire others through my work.
