¡Hola!
Me llamo Señora Schreiner. (My name is Sra. Schreiner). I am certified by the state of Wisconsin to teach Spanish from Early Childhood to Adolescence. Teaching Spanish to young learners from pre-K through elementary age is my specialization. I have been teaching Spanish to elementary students since 2010! In addition, I taught in public elementary schools for 9 years, online ESL for 6 years, and at Outschool since June 2020. I have experience creating creative Elementary curricula for public and private online schools.
I teach Spanish because every child deserves a chance to learn another language so they can build strong global connections and live a life of joyful curiosity for other cultures. My classes are structured with a fun atmosphere for students to feel comfortable and confident while learning another language online. I always include songs, games, and movement in my instruction to engage young learners. In my classes, your learner will have the opportunity and be encouraged to participate several times in every class. I currently offer a series of classes starting with "Elementary Beginner Spanish ~ Part 1" which leads into 8 more levels built to move your learner from no Spanish experience to beginner-intermediate level based on ACTFL standards. Please contact me with questions or guidance about which class best fits your learner.
I look forward to meeting your young language learner!
