I am a graduate of Palacky University in Olomouc, Czech Republic. I received my European M.A. in Latin and Italian Philology. In the past, I tutored children and adults interested in learning Latin and Italian. Post graduate, I was a translator for an Italian company. I am Czech and Italian citizen. The past 15 years, living in Texas, I have tutored children at the elementary school. I was also the head coach of a Destination Imagination team that qualified for their Global Tournament. I am passionate about Latin derivatives, History, and Italian music. I love helping students learn new languages; opening their minds to new cultures they may never have experienced before. "As many languages you know, as many times you are a human being." - T.G. Masaryk, First President of Czechoslovakia. Thank you for your consideration.
