TEACHING EXPERIENCE

11 teaching Bilingual Education from 1st-8th grade.

MY TEACHING STYLE

The magic happens when you step back and truly appreciate WHO you're teaching instead of WHAT you're teaching! I love my students, they are MY kids after all. When teaching I try to appreciate the student for what he/she is, a beautiful little learning sponge waiting to be taught, but also waiting to be loved, appreciated and respected.
