Instructor
I am an Elementary School teacher with fourteen years teaching experience. I lived in Nebraska and taught for five years in first and second grade. Then I moved to Iowa and taught for three years in a First grade Dual Language classroom. My last few years of teaching have been spent in Mexico at an American School. I teach LANGUAGE! I teach pure ESL (English as a Second Language). Often, I have new students who are completely new to the language. I use strategies to catch them up, but often just being immersed in the language and surrounded by peers who are speaking the same language works best. I have many years of experience in teaching language.
I am married. My husband is a teacher as well. He is Mexican. We have three children. We moved to Mexico five years ago. Here I enjoy teaching language and first grade children. I have used my language and my technology skills to create courses on Udemy. My courses range from learning Spanish, learning English and learning iMovie basics.
