Hello everyone! I've been a high school teacher for almost 4 years now in the South Suburbs of Chicago! I'm currently teaching US History, Civics, and Consumer Economics classes this year. I've also taught Spanish classes for non-native speakers and Heritage Spanish classes for Spanish-speaking students. I am certified to teach classes in History, Spanish, Social Sciences, ESL, ENL, and bilingual education.
On a personal note, I love to travel and to learn about different languages and cultures! I am bilingual in English and Spanish but have also learned Portuguese and Korean. I have traveled to about 14 different countries so far, having spent the most time in Brazil and South Korea. On a personal level, I empathize with my students because I know firsthand how challenging it is to learn another language! Because of that, I always make sure to provide easy-to-understand explanations and examples to answer any questions or correct any misunderstandings.
