Class Experience

**Looking for this content in a series of one-time classes or for a different age group? Please check out the other Spanish classes that I offer.

In this 8-week, live Spanish class, students will learn basic vocabulary surrounding a variety of topics (please see schedule below). This class will provide every learner with ample opportunity to practice speaking the language.

Week 1: Introductions - Students will learn how to greet people, and ask/answer "What is your name?" as well as "How are you?"
Week 2: Numbers 1-10 - counting and asking "How many?"
Week 3: Colors - Various colors and asking "What color is...?"
Week 4: Animals - Students will learn the names of several common animals
Week 5: Feelings - Students will learn how to express several different feelings or states of being, in Spanish
Week 6: Food - Students will learn the names of several common foods and how to say that they like or don't like those foods.
Week 7: Let's Play! - Students will learn the names of several activities and how to say that they like or don't like those activities.
Week 8: Show us what you know! - A review of all our topics

Since playing is the best way for learning to really stick with children, that is how I model my teaching style. We will use a combination of flashcards, pictures, songs, games, and conversations. 

I feel that children should be encouraged to follow their passions. Children need to know that they can have what they want for their lives if they have the correct tools and motivation to get there. I hope to help build confidence in my students and to give them some of those tools. I also believe that not every child learns the same way. Education is not a one-size-fits-all experience. I look forward to helping your child learn how they learn.

While I offer an extensive collection of class content choices, my specialty is meeting students where they’re at and making the course material accessible to all students, regardless of the topic. I love to be silly with my students and encourage interaction in all of my classes. I want learners to feel at ease and safe to be themselves in my classroom. My small class sizes and relaxed, encouraging teaching style allow me to tailor my classes to each student’s needs and learning style, resulting in learners walking away from class confident and smiling.

This is a basic level class, appropriate for younger students with little to no experience with the language.
Learning Goals
Students will be exposed to a new language and have an introductory level vocabulary by the end of the session.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Bachelor's Degree from Southern New Hampshire University
Hi there. I am a homeschooling mom of five kids, ranging in age from ten to nineteen. We are diving into our 7th year of homeschooling and we love it. I have a passion for both education and creativity and I love combining the two whenever I can. When I'm not teaching (my kids or someone else's), I run a business based purely on creativity and art. 

Traveling (and 8 years of formal classes) gave me a handle on the Spanish language. I have a background in general education from 19 years of combined experience teaching in public and charter school settings, as well as tutoring one on one, ESL, and running various camps and activities. My experience ranges from childcare (infant) age all the way through high school age and includes work with neurodiverse and special needs students, as well as students with mental health issues.

I have a passion for, and educational background in Graphic Art/Design, however, my degrees are AA in Liberal Studies and a BA in General Studies with a concentration in Psychology. I am also certified in TESOL and Art Therapy.
