      Carbondale Police Dept. - R. Rogers

      "This class was very helpful. Cops throughout the state would greatly benefit from this class."

      Garfield County Sheriffs' - J. Straw

      This class kicked ass! I’ve tried other ways to learn Spanish for years. I learned more about Spanish and Spanish in 3 days than I did in years using other methods. Meredith and Beto used awesome techniques to make leaning fun and effective. I hope to be taught by them in the future.

      Church Youth Pastor - K. Montie

      Meredith brings wonderful passion to the Spanish language. I loved that she set out to help me become a better communicator, not to be perfect - this alleviated much of the pressure I put on myself to perform, and instead freed me up to absorb much more information, practice without fear of failure, and ultimately want to engage others in conversation. Thank you, Meredith, for increasing my enjoyment of the language, and inspiring me to continue in my learning!

      School Administrator - K. Hillebrand

      “Meredith Kasper’s class was so enlightening and so well taught. Meredith was an amazing teacher for me, she engaged her class on many different levels. The daily review was also very helpful, as I was a first time Spanish learner. Meredith was very knowledgeable about the Spanish language and the many dialects that are used in conversation. I would highly recommend Meredith Kasper’s class to anyone, and everyone who is interested in a beginner, intermediate or expert Spanish class. Meredith adapts so well to any level of learning. It was a pleasure being a student in her class.”

      Teacher - M. Peplin

      “I have been a special education teacher at GSMS for 12 years. Through Spanish for Professionals, Meredith has empowered me with a wealth of Spanish knowledge through communication and literacy. I am excited to incorporate my new knowledge into the upcoming school year to better communicate with my Spanish speaking students, families and co-workers. Meredith utilizes a number of online/tech strategies that we can continue using after the class is over. Most of all, I love how she tailors the activities and lessons so that I can specifically use them in my career and the lessons certainly will be put to good use!

      Teacher - E. Smith

      “Meredith is well prepared and has a variety of activities every day that makes the class fly by! She is my favorite instructor and I have taken over 7 years of different Spanish classes. I love how she intertwines grammar, real-life situations and her own stories.”

      Business Owner - L. Rashbaum

      Meredith Kasper

      Meredith Kasper is passionate about teaching and understands the unique challenges for adult learners, especially when it comes to learning another language. Meredith makes learning fun by implementing a variety of teaching strategies. Over the years of teaching she has learned about neurocognitive development and successful techniques to stimulate learning. Her style immerses the students in a dynamic and active setting, connecting her students to real life circumstances. Meredith’s enthusiasm for teaching is apparent in her delivery as she keeps her students highly engaged throughout class.

      Meredith has over 20 years of experience teaching language, both English and Spanish. She began teaching English in Mexico in 1998. In 2001 she started teaching an ESL at Colorado Mountain College and moved into teaching conversational Spanish there in 2009. In 2012 she designed a curriculum specifically geared towards teachers focusing on vocabulary specific to education in an immersion style setting. The idea was to offer an immersion like experience, like traveling where one can be saturated in the language, only without leaving home. The class was a huge success. Participants rave about their ability to finally feel more confident to use their Spanish, which inspired Meredith to build her own business ‘Custom Spanish Courses’ so that she can continue to pass that experience on to others.

      Her journey with learning Spanish began in high school and continued through college where she participated in 3 study abroad programs in Mexico and Costa Rica. After graduating with a BA in Sociology and Human Service from Fort Lewis College, she moved back Mexico for several years where she continued to hone her Spanish skills and learn more about the Mexican culture. She has also spent time traveling in Central and South America gaining perspective on the differences in language and culture. Meredith also lived in Norway and has traveled to Europe and Africa and Asia. Through these experiences she has become a world citizen with a deep curiosity of different cultures, language and customs.
