___________________________________________

       One of my primary goals is to ensure that your learner is placed at the right level from the very beginning. 

      If you already know your child's Spanish level, please let me know as soon as possible. This careful placement will significantly enhance their learning experience, making the class more enjoyable and productive.

       If you’re unsure of your child’s Spanish level, don’t worry! I offer a 25-minute 1-on-1 Language Proficiency Assessment session to evaluate and determine your child’s proficiency level. While optional, this assessment is highly recommended to ensure your learner starts at the right level. 

      If you are interested, please feel free to reach out via message, I will send you the link to sign up for the 1-on-1 25 min. Language Proficiency Assessment. 

       Alternatively, you may wait until your child attends the first class session. If I observe that the current level is not a good fit whether they need to be more challenged or additional support I will recommend placing him/her in one of the different sessions that I offer and better suits his/her needs. Of course, you will have the final decision before making any changes.

      Thank you and I look forward to helping your child thrive in their Spanish learning journey!


¡Nos vemos pronto! See you soon!

Profile
Teacher expertise and credentials
Texas Teaching Certificate in Foreign Language
Hi, I am Ms. Lugo, and I have been a passionate educator since 2009. I have had the privilege of working in the public school system, where I’ve taught students from Pre-Kindergarten to High School. I hold several certifications, including EC-4 Generalist, EC-4 Bilingual Spanish, and EC-12 Spanish LOTE, which allow me to teach students in both English and Spanish. 

Over the years, I’ve been recognized as a Distinguished Teacher and Master Teacher by the Texas Education Agency for my commitment to fostering academic excellence and bilingual literacy. 

My specialty lies in teaching Reading, Writing, and Grammar to elementary students, but I also have experience in High School Spanish. I believe in the power of dual-language education and love creating engaging, interactive lessons that help students thrive academically while appreciating both languages and cultures. 

My goal is to instill a love of learning, encourage curiosity, and help students become confident, bilingual individuals who are ready for success in the classroom and beyond.
