Spanish classes in Beaufort and Bluffton

My name is Kim Swanson and I have been working with home school students for the past 6 years in both Spanish and Mathematics.  I have my secondary teaching certificate in Math and Spanish, with a Masters in Math, and have taught middle school, high school and college classes for 20 years.

This 2012-2013 school year I will be teaching

Spanish 1 (Bluffton—The Crescent)

Spanish 1 (Beaufort—Community Bible Church)

Spanish 2 (Beaufort and/or Bluffton based on need)

I am flexible on days and times (M-Th 10-2) so I will set them up once I have interested students and find a schedule that works for the majority.

We will use the Navegando textbook series which is a challenging, but outstanding, grammar based curriculum.  In class, we will focus on grammar and communication. The small class size (usually 4-6 students) allows all students to participate and learn to communicate effectively in Spanish.   At home the students will have homework, quizzes and tests to complete and turn in.  All grades will be calculated using Engrade, a free online gradebook that students and parents can view at their convenience.  These classes are best suited for students in 7th grade or higher, adults are more than welcome.  If you are interested in Spanish 2, you must have completed Spanish 1 with me or with an equivalent Spanish curriculum (Rosetta Stone does not count).Cost:  $200 per semester per student (additional sibling– $150 per semester).  This includes the Navegando textbook and workbook.  (Or $45/month plus a one time fee of $25 for books)Classes will start the week of Sept.10th and will finish the week of Dec.10th with breaks for Holidays.  The 2nd half of the classes will be offered starting in January.
