I have a flexible approach. If you are already taking a course and need some help, if you want to start at a basic level I can teach you, if you want to practice conversation and listening skills, if you need help with translations English-Spanish-English, if you want advanced support with specific topics, etc. I can go to your place in London, Ontario (evenings or weekends) or online (via Skype or Web Conference).
I also use some online tools that will facilitate the learning process.
I can provide some study materials or can follow the ones you may have.
I am a Computer Science Engineer with more than 20 years of experience as Project Manager. I am also a Professor at Fanshawe College and Mentor and for new immigrants to Canada. I love my native language (Spanish) and love to help people to speak, write and understand it.
Travel fee may increase depending on travel distance (if more than 20 Km). Cancellations should be notified at least 48 hours in advance, otherwise 100% of the cost would be charged. Translations would be quoted separately as it depends on number of pages and complexity of subject.
