About your spanish tutor

My name is Kimberly Ann and I am a life-long Spanish-speaker, having grown up in Tampa and Homestead (Miami), Florida as a dual language student and surrounded by the rich Latin American culture I have grown to adore. I have been speaking Spanish for 23 years, since I was a middle school child, and I am formally educated in Spanish literature. I also possess a Bachelor’s of Arts in anthropology in major part due to my diverse upbringing and curiosity surrounding my friends’ and neighbors’ ethnic origins and customs. In 2015, I moved to Costa Rica and spent nearly 3 years there, and recently returned to Florida from Costa Rica again in 2024 after spending 9 months there for work. Additionally, I have travelled to several other Spanish-speaking countries, to include México, Nicaragua, and Spain. My Spanish language lessons are not just grammar, vocabulary, spelling, and conversation, but also cultural emersion to bring real-world context and lots of fun into our lessons! I am so happy to work with students of any and all needs and accommodations because language brings us all together and allows us to express our goals, desires, and dreams so that we may help each other reach them. We can work on whatever you like: from practicing for a test to building your resumé! I look forward to working with you!
