Meet our new assistants
This course we are going to have 5 new assistants (all of them from the USA). Curious about what they are like? Here you are some information (written by them) on their studies, interests, likes and dislikes...
-Catherine Tuttle:
My name is Catherine Tuttle and I am thrilled to be embarking on a 10-month teaching adventure in Madrid Spain for the 2013-2014 school year. I am 22 years old and my hometown is Pittsford, New York—right outside Rochester in the upstate region of New York State. This past May I graduated from Bates College in Lewiston, Maine with a double major in Spanish and English and a concentration in European Studies. With the help of a semester abroad in Argentina and travels in Uruguay and Chile, I speak fluent Spanish. I also can speak French and Russian and have traveled to Moscow and St. Petersburg.
In my free time, I enjoy many sports such as running, swimming, sailing, tennis, skiing, and rowing. In college I was on the ski team and the rowing team. I play the clarinet and piano and love to cook and bake. I care for the future of our environment and try to ride my bike whenever I can (though I couldn't bring it to Madrid).

-Gregory Smith:
Hello! My name is Greg and I am from the United States where I live in Seattle, Washington. My favorite thing to do at home is paint and draw, which is what I got my first college degree in. My second favorite thing to do is drink coffee and read. My THIRD favorite is to teach math to students. I love helping students learn. Learning is one of the few things in life that doesn't get boring, which is why I'm trying to learn Spanish while I'm here.
So far I love it here in Madrid. I miss my family and friends, but the people I've met here so far have made it easier.
I can't wait to meet you all. I'm looking forward to helping you learn the English language. Summer is ending, but this will be a good year. I promise :)
-Jonathan Bruno:
I am 23 and graduated college last year with a degree in economics. I really enjoy music, I play the piano and the guitar a lot in my free time. I play all kinds of music, with the piano I usually play classical music or songs by Billy Joel and Bruce Springsteen, and with guitar I like more hard rock (electric guitar), and Dave Matthews Band (acoustic). My level of Spanish is low at the moment but I have been using the Rosetta Stone programs all summer and look forward to practicing a lot more once I start living in the city. I studied French all through high school which has been helpful for learning Spanish. I also like to ski and snowboard in the winter, and for sports I like to play tennis and golf. I live in the suburbs near Boston, Massachusetts (where I grew up), so in the summer I like to go sailing/waterskiing and go to the beaches on Cape Cod. For the past 4 years I was living in Boulder, Colorado, which is where I went to school. It is beautiful there with a lot of mountains so I did a lot of hiking and skiing over the years.
Welcome!
