Spanish with Shirley R.

Hello! This is Shirley. I live in Pennsylvania. I studied Elementary Education at Carlow University. I also have two Master degrees: 1. in Early Childhood Education (from Carlow University) & 2. ESL program Specialist (from Duquesne University). I grew up in a bilingual family. My mom's family is from Nicaragua and speaks Spanish. I taught elementary (prek-8th grade) Spanish for about 6 years, as well as helping to fill other roles in the schools too. Prior to that, I was a substitute teacher for several schools. This provides me with experience teaching a broad range of subject material to children. I value working with children to help them reach their learning potential. Sometimes, they just need a different or a more personalized approach. Currently, I am teaching English as Second Language to adults. I love being able to personalize my lessons to engage my students & to ensure it fits each of my students strengths & needs. Additionally, I love sharing & integrating my personal experience & knowledge about countries in Central America & Europe into my lessons. I love & am passionate about teaching languages to people.
