Dakota S.
Private tutor in Lynchburg, VA
Education
Senior Spanish / Foreign Language (Teacher's Licensure) Major at Liberty University High school GPA: 3.9 (90%+) Senior College GPA: 3.46 B.S. in Spanish Education in progress!
Experience
I am trilingual in English, Spanish and Brazilian Portuguese, as well as conversational French and Italian. I have "extensive" knowledge in over 20 languages and have developed teaching methods for foreign languages and English as a Second Language and Foreign that adaptable to fit every language learner's needs, abilities and passions (most importantly!). I am incredibly passionate about foreign languages and have been teaching since I was 14 years old to speakers of all language backgrounds, including Arabic, French, Mandarin Chinese, Russian, Spanish and Ukrainian, to name a few. I also have positive feedback from foreign language tutoring in French, Spanish and Grammar studies from the last 3 years, as I use similar teaching methods and am studying at Liberty University to become a Spanish teacher. I have a 32 ACT and a 3.46 Senior university GPA, following a 3.9 high school GPA and plan to continue on to earn a Master's degree in Modern Languages. I consider myself fun, engaging, flexible, technologically fluent, and willing to work with anyone who wants to learn and have a good time doing it! (If you don't like the way you've been taught in school or just want a fresh start for foreign language for any reason, I'm probably your guy!) :D

Hobbies
I am very broad in my hobbies! The most important thing to me is building a lesson plan and plan-of-action, as I like to say, specifically taylored to a person's individual interests and passions. That includes everything from sports, to music/musicianship, to Legos. It doesn't matter. I love almost everything this world has to offer, so no matter how random it is, we're going to have a great time!
