Summary
I am a passionate Spanish language teacher who provides students with exceptional language learning and Spanish-speaking countries and the student community culture immersion opportunities and supports educational endeavors. During my experience working in the school setting in Riverside County particularly during my student teaching, I have been a skilled implementer of diverse and buildable language and general instruction, differentiation, and classroom management methods that improved most of my students' classroom and academic performance. I am committed to cultivating fruitful learning and a positive community environment for each student. I positively motivate students by building a strong relationship getting to know their strengths, interests, and needs with individual guidance and empathetic mentorship also providing resources and encouraging them to learn or embrace a language and different and diverse cultures.
