I found her online on the tutoring app WyzantTutoring.com Her name is F.M. and she’s exactly my age, got divorced the same year I did, 1986, and never remarried, like me. And like me she had a child in 1980. Also like me she studied piano and loves to read and eats chocolate every day.
We agreed in the beginning to meet for an hour every week on FaceTime and to converse only in Spanish. We met this afternoon and had a great conversation. She seems like a great teacher and a wonderful person.
And the great thing about this is I don’t have to teach her English. It’s all about me learning Spanish. And she’s highly educated too. And she’s a native Venezuelan.
