"Hola! My name is Ivana and I am excited to meet you and speak Spanish!

I hold a Bachelor's Degree in Spanish from Northeastern University and a Master's Degree in Intercultural Relations from Lesley University. During my college years, I studied in Spain and Chile, and returned to Seville, Spain to live for two years. While there, I coordinated programs for American students as well as taught English to elementary-school-aged children. I currently work at Brown University coordinating global programs for undergraduate students.

I am passionate about languages and cultures. I grew up in a bilingual home, speaking Portuguese, and fell in love with the Spanish language in high school. I maintain a warm and friendly approach in all I do, and provide an individualized approach for each student, meeting them where they're at linguistically, and able to customize and adapt as their needs change.

I look forward to meeting and working with you!" less...
