My Journey In Teaching
With 28 years of experience teaching Spanish at the high school level, I have had the privilege of guiding countless students through Spanish 1, 2, 3, and AP Spanish Language and Culture. My commitment to creating engaging and effective learning experiences has been at the heart of my teaching philosophy.
Throughout my career, I've developed a variety of teaching methods tailored to meet the diverse needs of my students, ensuring each one finds success and confidence in their language learning journey. I have also created numerous educational resources, including practice worksheets, informative videos, slide and PowerPoint presentations, and communication tools. These resources have been instrumental in helping both students and colleagues master the Spanish language.
