In my classes, I focus on creating a dynamic and immersive learning experience for students. By combining cultural immersion, speaking practice, grammar instruction, writing skills, and pronunciation training, I ensure a well-rounded approach to mastering the Spanish language. I use a variety of tech tools to enhance learning, such as interactive whiteboards, video conferencing platforms, and educational apps. Following a communicative language teaching approach, I emphasize building communicative competence to enable students to engage meaningfully in real-world conversations.

My goal is to empower students at all levels to feel confident and proficient in using Spanish in practical situations.
