TEACHERS MAKE LEARNING SPANISH ENJOYABLE by Kathleen Vandervoet
While many Tubac area residents are bilingual, there are many others that have the desire to be. Until this year, local classes in Spanish were few and far between. Now, Spanish is taught by three capable instructors at the Evolution Dance Studio.
Cheryl Todd, who operates the Evolution Dance Studio, has set up the Spanish classes. Tuition is $10 per class. At the present time there are three instructors: Lead teacher Paula Beemer of Tubac is a native Spanish speaker, born in Chile. She has a bachelor’s degree in business and economics. She also teaches private classes.
Beemer said, “My students are all very enthusiastic. It’s a very comfortable setting and we laugh a lot. A great part of the success is the students’ drive and willingness.”
Arlette Rivera's first language also is Spanish. A Rio Rico resident, she graduated with a bachelor's degree in law from UABC, the university in Baja California, Mexico, and then studied criminology and real estate in the U.S. She has worked as a substitute teacher since 2006 in the Rio Rico school district.
Sue Webb-Rees of Tubac learned Spanish as a child and has worked with Spanish speakers for 35 years. She lived in Mexico and Guatemala and has a master's degree in psychology. Her classes will resume in the fall.
To register, call Todd at (719) 2377364. Classes are held at Evolution Studio in Tubac (20 Avenida Goya) in the same shopping center as the Tubac Market and Crista's Fitness Center. The class schedule at Evolution is:
Tuesday, 10:30 to 11:30 a.m., Beginning Spanish, Paula Beemer. 11:45 a.m. to 12:45 p.m., Intermediate Spanish, Paula Beemer.
