As a mother of two bilingual boys, she understands firsthand both the challenges and rewards of language learning. As a founder of Como Se Dice LLC, she believes that language and culture cannot be separated. Learning Spanish is more than memorizing vocabulary and grammar—it is an opportunity to discover the traditions, history, values, music, food, and stories of Spanish-speaking communities around the world. She is also inspired by Acts 2:6, which describes how people from many nations heard the disciples speaking in their own languages, reminding us that language is a powerful gift that connects people, builds understanding, and allows us to share God's love across cultures. Her goal is to help students learn not only a new language but also to appreciate the people and cultures behind it while growing in confidence and character. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54b978fee4b0ff95698724ba/1687009163493-PXVU95KTQ6ZOSB7VJ5B4/JonathanPic.jpg Mandarin Tutors - Jonathan Kassebaum (Copy) Jonathan Kassebaum Biblical Worldview III and IV Jonathan earned his B.S. in Mathematics from Pepperdine University and a M.A. Theological Studies from Liberty University.
