 Traditional tutoring often focuses on repetition and textbook exercises. As a trained Neurolanguage Coach®, I use neuroscience-based principles to deliver the language in a "brain-friendly" way. We focus on how your specific brain creates neural pathways, reducing the stress and "learning blocks" that often make language acquisition feel difficult. It’s a faster, more efficient, and more sustainable way to reach fluency. 

• Spanish: Levels I through IV (Beginner to Advanced/AP prep).
• German: Levels I through III.
• ESL/ELL: English language acquisition for all ages and levels. Because of my background in Romanian and my Master’s in Translation, I am also able to provide deep cultural and linguistic context that you won't find in a standard app. 

 I work with a wide range of learners! This includes high school students looking for academic success, adult learners preparing for international travel or business, and elementary students seeking language enrichment. My 20+ years of experience allows me to pivot my teaching style to match the age and goals of the learner. 

 I offer both! I provide local in-person sessions (in the Mount Airy area) and high-quality virtual coaching for students anywhere in the world. My online sessions are interactive and use authentic digital materials to keep the "classroom" engaging. 

 The first step is a free 20-30 minute "Chemistry Call." This is a no-pressure consultation where we can discuss your goals, your learning history, and see if our styles click. From there, we can choose the coaching package that best fits your needs.
