I will encourage students, while providing them with instruction, information and resources to enhance their language learning. I became interested in teaching from several wonderful teachers. Their best qualities were that they showed an interest in me and took the time to understand me. They gave me opportunities to succeed and encouragement along the way. I hope to have such a lasting and positive effect on my students.
Students have so many varying needs, interests, and hopes.
I want to help them so that by incorporating their different strengths and goals, we can together become more well rounded individuals who see ourselves as integral members of a greater community. Knowing that I help students, whether with Spanish, cultural awareness and acceptance, understanding themselves, or their overall approach to learning, will be my greatest reward.
