Expert Profile: Laurel L.

Expertise: I can answer questions related to the Spanish language and grammar. Most of my training was in Castillian Spanish (from Spain), but I have had some exprerience working with Mexican-Spanish and some South American Spanish as well. I can help with grammar points, verb conjugations, and translations. I also am familiar with traveling and cultural points in Spain and parts of Mexico.

Experience in the area
I have a B.A. in Spanish, and I've been studying Spanish for 14 years now. I'm in my 6th year of teaching Spanish. I studied abroad for a summer in Spain and have visited Spain two other times for several weeks to a month at at time. I've also done volunteer work and translations in Mexico on three occasions.

Education/Credentials
I have a B.A. in Spanish from the University of Toledo. I have a B. Ed. in Education from the University of Toledo. I studied for a semester in Spain at la Universidad de Castilla-La Mancha.

Awards and Honors
