Teacher expertise and credentials
I have been teaching for more than 20 years. I have a M.D from the University of Buenos Aires - Argentina and a MBA from Florida International University in Miami - Florida. I spent 5 years working as a doctor treating patients with diverse medical conditions. Also, I spent 4 years in healthcare facilities in various administrative positions.
My teaching experience started during the last year of my medical residency program when the chief of the ophthalmology department told me I needed to teach a class to medical students. I taught the class, everything went as planned and I thought that was going to be the first and the last time I was going to teach.To my surprise the following semester I had to teach the class again. The reason.....I got very good class reviews.
I strongly believe that students are capable of achieving success with the appropriate guidance and encouragement and that is a philosophy I apply to my own kids. They are 8 and 11 years old and since they were in kindergarten I have been teaching them everything I know. I am a native Spanish speaker. My son and daughter primary language is English but I taught them all the Spanish they know. At this time, they are able to maintain a conversation in Spanish.
