TEACHING EXPERIENCE

I have been teaching 6th-8th grade Spanish at an International Baccalaureate school for 13 years.

MY TEACHING STYLE

I use storytelling to teach a foreign language. I use TPRS (teaching proficiency through storytelling) and CI (comprehensible input) methods in my classroom. I use music, art and authentic resources whenever possible. I strive to provide my students with true deep and authentic culture.

MY OWN EDUCATIONAL HISTORY

Yet to be added

ADDITIONAL BIOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION

I grew up in Spain and moved to the States when I was a preteen. I incorporate the culture that I know and culture from other countries to challenge my students' beliefs of what is "normal". I like to challenge them and have them learn about other cultures.
