Students will learn basic vocabulary in the Spanish Language, they will begin to get familiar with the pronunciation and get confidence in speaking a new language.

Hello, I am Diana Vivas, I was born in Colombia and I have been helping families for more than 15 years organizing routines that included creative movement, math, reading, and listening comprehension.
During my College years, I worked for a language company in Colombia (CIL), and I was trained by the owner in a conversational teaching method to teach ESL and Spanish to foreigners. It was a great opportunity to learn hands on how to teach others to communicate in other languages, how to teach children both in English and Spanish and how to be a bridge of knowledge in every subject that I was qualified in. It was such a wonderful experience that I kept working for them for more than 10 years, giving me vast training in handling English and Spanish classes. I now use that experience and the fact that I am a native Spanish speaker to share what I know with children and to help them cope with anxiety and stress through mindfulness.
When I looked for a Mindful & movement program to incorporate into my activities, I noticed there weren’t many for younger children, so I decided to get certified in Yoga for children and Zumbini and teach it myself. I work with children using hands-on exploration through social interaction and play, encouraging them with music and using nature to help children learn about their environment. I began to combine structured classes, as well as non conventional classes, and now I can reach all different kind of students, because every child has their own way of understanding information, and I am just a facilitator of that knowledge.
Even though my mayor is in International Business, I have a Bachelor of Business Administration in International Business degree, my passion is working with children and learning along the with them.
