About Me

 
 Welcome to my Spanish class! I am delighted to have the opportunity to be working with you this year. I love teaching Spanish to High School students and I look forward to a great year with each of you! We will work hard together to start you on your learning of a foreign language. Be prepared to learn MUCHO! I have high expectations of you and we will have a positive year together!
 
I am a native from El Salvador, and I am very proud to teach my language and my culture to my students. I have been working in education for six years. I have a Master’s in Education from Belmont University and a B.A. in Spanish and Political Science from MTSU. I moved to United Stated when I was sixteen, where I learned English in order to communicate. Living in a different country and learning a new language, have given me a better understanding of the process of teaching a foreign language. I take advantage of my personal experience to implement my teaching methods.
 
I understand that every child has different strengths and weaknesses in their learning process. Therefore, I am committed to having differentiated instruction in my class with a variety of opportunities for my students’ to achieve their goals. Nevertheless, learning a language involves repetition, constant work, and memorization skills. I will request your support at home in order to reach our goal this year.

For more information you may read the “Bienvenidos” student’s document as well as the syllabus that your child received the first day of class. Please do not hesitate to call me or e-mail. I will try to respond to you as soon as possible.
Gracias!
