Meet the team

Sara M. Gonzalez 
I am the founder and director of WeConnect. I am a native speaker and a certified Spanish teacher with a Ph.D in Spanish Literature. I have been teaching Spanish language, culture and literature for more than 10 years and would not change the joy of helping learners become proficient in the language. It is also very important to me that they enjoy the experience and consequently, much effort is put into making lessons didactic, varied, and memorable.
My pedagogy is based on research and classes are conducted in Spanish 80 to 90 % of the time with a  progressive increment. My experience allows my to encourage mistakes as a normal part of the learning process as well as effectively correcting and guiding interactions. In my approach to language learning, I present grammar and vocabulary in integration with real life contexts and the Spanish culture, actively involving the students at every step. 
I am also a Biologist (bachelors)  and have taught Social Studies in bilingual contexts. I have served as a middle school and high school teacher from multiple capacities and have taught a variety of subjects that go from Science to the full spectrum of Spanish language courses. 
More importantly, I grow and become a better teacher from every interaction with my students.
