I have been teaching Spanish for 21 years in the United States. I have taught everything from preschool to high school. I developed and taught my own community classes, directed after school programs and worked in the public school setting. I have presented numerous teacher development workshops at the district, county and state level. One of my greatest joys in the profession is working with new teachers helping them learn the skills to teach the next generation of learners.

Experience

I have been teaching Spanish for 21 years in the United States. I have taught everything from preschool to high school. I developed and taught my own community classes, directed after school programs and worked in the public school setting. I have presented numerous teacher development workshops at the district, county and state level. One of my greatest joys in the profession is working with new teachers helping them learn the skills to teach the next generation of learners.

Teaching style

A little of everything mixed into one crazy, fun filled, hands on classroom. Something old, something new, something borrowed and something totally all from me.
