Beginner Level
¡Hola! In this BEGINNER LEVEL Ongoing class, students will continue developing Spanish conversation skills. This class is geared toward students who have finished LEVEL 1 (20 weeks), know the basics of the Spanish language, and are ready for LEVEL 2! Students will gain confidence in speaking and listening in Spanish through fun themes and learning from other students. Students can join any week. This class will focus on Spanish grammar and learn how to compose sentences independently. Every week, I will discuss different topics. I will explain some of the material in English, but most of the class will be in Spanish. My goal is for your child to have fun while they learn a new language. I can't wait to see them in my class! These are some of the topics based on the learners in the class and their ages, exposure to Spanish, prior knowledge, etc... 1. Week of January 13th: Asking and answering 10 basic questions we covered in Level 1 2. Week of January 20nd: Learn 20 new verbs. Practice asking and answering. 3. Week of January 27th: Traveling vocabulary/country names in Spanish 4. Week of February 03th: Numeros 1-100! 5. Week of February 10th: Telling the time 6.

¡Hola! My name is Elizabeth Rendon, but I go by Señorita Rendón. I was born in Mexico and currently live in Arizona. I also lived in Costa Rica and Panama while volunteering as a music teacher to unprivileged communities for three amazing years.
I am an educator with ten years of experience teaching Spanish, Music, and ESL. I hold a bachelor's degree in Music (emphasis on piano and voice) and a Master's degree in Education.
I am also TESOL certified.
I have experience teaching my two passions: Spanish and Music.
I taught Spanish as a second language for two years to elementary and High School students on daily basics. (2016-2018)
Then, I tasted the classroom setting of a Charter School, teaching Band and Piano group lessons for two years (2018-2020)
For the last five years, since I did a lot of traveling between Costa Rica and Panama, I have been teaching online with Magic Ears, VIPKID, and Intervene (TutorGigs K-12 Tutoring services) while teaching piano during the evenings at my Music Studio at home.
My teaching philosophy is learning in a safe, joyful environment.
I am an energetic and passionate teacher that enjoys seeing my students learn, have fun, and grow. My Spanish classes are fully immersive, interactive, and filled with smiles, lots of visual aids, games, music, and props.
I follow the TPRS Method (Teaching Proficiency through Reading and Storytelling). These lessons include learning new vocabulary each lesson, short readings through storytelling, games, and repetition.
I love teaching my native language, Spanish, sharing my experiences living in different Spanish-speaking countries (Mexico, Costa Rica, and Panama), and sharing the gift of Music with others!
I can't wait to meet you in class!
