"I am a state-certified bilingual teacher with over 20 years of experience in education. I hold a Master's degree in Communication and a Minnesota teaching license in Social Studies, along with additional certifications in Spanish, dual language, and immersion instruction. My academic background and teaching credentials have allowed me to work in diverse educational settings, supporting students from middle school to adult learners.

Throughout my career, I have taught Spanish, reading comprehension, and social studies in both English and Spanish, helping students strengthen their language skills, critical thinking, and confidence. I’ve worked in classroom settings, one-on-one environments, and community education programs, particularly supporting heritage speakers and English learners. My approach is flexible and student-centered, blending structured content with culturally relevant examples and interactive strategies to keep learners engaged and motivated.

I tailor each lesson to the student’s needs, whether they’re preparing for exams, improving fluency, or building foundational literacy. My goal is always to create a welcoming space where students feel respected, challenged, and supported. I’m passionate about teaching and committed to helping students grow not only academically but also as confident communicators and independent learners." less...
