La alegria de aprender

The joy of learning

My Philosophy

Learning is one of the great joys in my life. I love hearing the stories of my students when they come to class and tell about an experience when they spoke Spanish during the week, knowing that they communicated with another person in a different language. Although my students learn to read and write in Spanish, our main focus is to speak Spanish. I strongly encourage my students to move away from the notion of perfection in fluency so they can overcome their fears of making mistakes. Just as they are patient with others learning English, so others are patient with them when learning and speaking Spanish.

What My Students Are Saying

 
Gail is a ‘profesora maravillosa’.
I wouldn’t have the ability to say that without her. Gail teaches Spanish in a way that is comfortable, fun and thorough. I look forward to learning Spanish with Gail. I would highly recommend her Spanish class.
— KELLY LEWIS, RADIOLOGY TECHNOLOGIST
 

Connect More Deeply

Language is how we connect with each other and with the world around us. Not only do we engage with each other in class, but also outside of class when we connect with a Spanish-speaker in the market place of life: at work, on medical mission trips, while shopping, at a restaurant, anywhere—we reach out to others in the most basic way—language.

Serve Your Community

Begin communication with Spanish-speaking patients. Even the most basic conversation and simple diagnostic phrases can put a patient at ease in an unfamiliar setting.

Make it Personal

Some students prefer one-on-one instruction or one-on-two instruction in order to specifically address their learning style, pace, schedules or needs.
