About Lily
I spent years working as a special education teacher before shifting toward private Spanish instruction, and that background completely shapes how patiently and flexibly I approach every single lesson today. Fifteen years into this specific teaching work, I have guided approximately three hundred forty students, including many who struggled significantly with traditional classroom language instruction previously. My special education training gives me genuinely rare tools, multiple teaching modalities, careful pacing, deep patience, that most language teachers were simply never taught themselves. I work particularly well with students who have learning differences, anxiety, or a history of feeling like language learning "just doesn't work" for them personally. My teaching style is endlessly patient and genuinely adaptive, built on the core belief that every single student can learn, just not always the same way as everyone else. I have guided numerous students who had given up on language learning entirely toward genuine, lasting confidence and real ability. Parents and adult students alike consistently tell me they finally feel understood rather than judged for needing a different approach than usual. I take enormous pride in helping students who felt like the problem discover that the teaching method was simply the actual issue all along. After fifteen years, I remain deeply committed to this patient, adaptive teaching philosophy.

My years in special education taught me that there is no single correct way to teach anyone, so every Spanish lesson starts with figuring out how a particular student actually learns best. I use multiple approaches simultaneously, visual, auditory, and hands-on, adjusting constantly based on what genuinely clicks for the individual sitting in front of me. Vocabulary gets broken into small, manageable chunks, with plenty of repetition and multiple formats, since I learned firsthand that one explanation rarely works for everyone the same way. I build in regular, genuine check-ins on comprehension, never assuming silence means understanding, a lesson special education taught me clearly and repeatedly over the years. Grammar gets taught through concrete, visual patterns rather than abstract rule recitation, since abstract explanation often loses students who process language differently than expected. I celebrate small, genuine progress constantly and specifically, since building real confidence matters enormously for students who have previously struggled or felt behind elsewhere. Pacing is entirely individualized, never rushed to match an arbitrary external timeline, because genuine understanding matters far more than covering material on schedule. I work especially patiently with students who have learning differences, ADHD, or anxiety around language learning, treating those needs as completely normal rather than obstacles. Every lesson adapts to the student, never the other way around.
