We have taught High School Spanish levels 1, 2, 3, and 4AP, as well as Business and Conversational Spanish classes for adults. We have also taught college Grammar and Conversation courses. We have also directed Spanish Camp for elementary students for many years. We are published authors and Spanish text editors and evaluators. We are also both Nationally Board Certified Teachers (WLOE).

We plan lessons with an emphasis on students applying learned material in real-world situations. We also use many songs, chants, technology tools, and interactive activities to motivate our students.
