Loreto Romero Martinez-Eiroa |
lr4xq@virginia.edu | ¡Hola! I am a PhD student from Sevilla, Spain. I have been teaching Spanish for a long time, as a private tutor, a lecturer and a T.A.; and I am currently writing my dissertation on medieval and early modern literature. As someone deeply interested in grammar as well as in literature, I could help students that are having serious problems understanding the morphological rules of the Spanish language, writing, reading, or simple studying in a foreign language. I am very much willing to work with students dealing with literature in Spanish, especially with regards to Spanish literature from the Middle Ages to the 17th century. In this field, I could provide extra classes, educational and researching resources, help reading and understanding critically texts from these periods, etc. |
