Hello, my name is Mark and I love everything about language and culture-particularly Iberian and Latin American languages & cultures. I have a BA degree in Political Science/International Affairs and ... a BA in Spanish Language. I also have a MA in Portuguese Language. I also love history and studied Latin American history and culture for one year. I enjoy being in the outdoors hiking, playing sports, fishing or at the beach. I like music and go to concerts occasionally. I have four children who are all multilingual with all or some of them speaking English, Portuguese, Spanish, Chinese, and Japanese. I enjoy teaching language and help others learn how to speak and understand the target language. I use a communicative method to help students start speaking in the target language as much as possible and practicing pronunciation. I am very personable and love to get to know you as a person and find out your likes and dislikes to better accommodate you as a learner. Let's begin!read more
