Spanish with Rosemary T.

As a little girl I wanted to be a nurse or a teacher, I worked in the medical field over 20 years and then went back to school to become a teacher. I have always like teaching, when I worked at the hospital and co-worker didn't understand the material taught in a mandatory hospital training, I was always more than willing to reteach all the information. I always take organize notes and ask a lot of questions; I encourage my students to ask questions, I tell them that we all make mistakes, especially when we learn something new. When I start a new school year, I usually give my students an assessment, I want to know what they remember or know, this allows me to structure my lessons and implement the necessary strategies to help my students retained and improve the target language. I think back on the things that I needed to learn when I first came to the United States, I am always reminded that a second language comes easy to some, but others struggle, with this in mind, I let my students know, that I'm always available for them if they have any questions or if the lessons are difficult and frustrating to understand.
