Description

Update August 2026: After mastering Spanish, I fell in love with the Turkish language and culture. My goal is to learn this beautiful and unique language and discover as much as possible about the culture. At the same time, I am ready to share my rich and unforgettable experiences and help you with any tasks you need assistance with.

I consider myself a citizen of the world, since I was born in Lithuania and immigrated to the United States more than 20 years ago. About ten years ago, when I was already established in my new home country, USA, I had my first direct encounter with the Spanish language during my contract job in Tijuana, México. Since then, I felt in love with this wonderful language and started gradually to learn it. Finally, in December of 2017, I graduated with Bachelor’s Degree in Spanish, in addition to my first degree in Biology.
I would like to expand my cultural exposure in Spanish speaking countries and add to the teaching experience I already have. I have extensive experience tutoring and teaching Lithuanian language to children and adults in the Lithuanian community for three years. In addition, I have considerable practice training small (2-7 persons) and large (up to 30) groups of people when I held a Quality Supervisor position in Food Manufacturing for six years. Furthermore, participating in the Toastmasters Club and receiving a Competent Communicator award strengthened my confidence and improved my presentation skills in front of an audience. With all these traits and experience, I am ready to teach individuals and groups in the countries I am planning to visit.
In addition, I adapt very easily to the new environment since I have an extensive experience of traveling abroad. From Spanish speaking countries, I’ve already visited Mexico, Venezuela, and Guatemala.
*****
Me considero una ciudadana del mundo, ya que nací en Lituania y emigré a los Estados Unidos hace más de 20 años. Hace unos diez años, cuando ya estaba establecida en mi nuevo país, Estados Unidos, tuve mi primer encuentro directo con el idioma español durante mi contrato laboral en Tijuana, México. Desde entonces, me enamoré de este maravilloso lenguaje y empecé a aprenderlo gradualmente. Finalmente, en diciembre de 2017, me gradué con una Licenciatura en Español, además de mi primer grado en Biología.
Me gustaría expandir mi exposición cultural en países de habla hispana y agregar a la experiencia docente que ya tengo. Tengo una amplia experiencia de tutoría y enseñanza de lenguas lituano, ruso e ingles para los niños y adultos durante tres años. Además, tengo una considerable práctica en el entrenamiento de grupos pequeños (de 2 a 7 personas) y grandes (hasta 30 personas) cuando tuve un puesto de supervisora de calidad en la fabricación de alimentos durante seis años. Con todos estos rasgos y experiencia, estoy lista para enseñar a individuos y grupos en los países que planeo visitar.
Además, me gustan mucho la naturaleza y el arte y puedo participar en cualquier proyecto artístico o agrícola. Soy una persona de trato fácil y me llevo bien con todos. Me adapto fácilmente al nuevo entorno ya que tengo una amplia experiencia de viajar al extranjero. De países de habla hispana, ya he visitado México, Venezuela y Guatemala.
¡Espero pronto compartir mi conocimiento y experiencia multicultural con ustedes!
