In this short class will learn verbs and simple sentences in Spanish. This class is an interactive class where kids will participate by performing the actions of the verb in the sentence. I use puppets to animate and illustrate my classes. The puppets are very inclusive and actively engage learners in discussion. This helps with students confidence and promotes a fun environment where a positive outlook on learning is achieved. The use of illustrative slides will also be a part of the class. We will practice 6 or more verb phrases and act them out. Using the verb phrase "me puedes" (can you). -¿Me puedes ayudar? (Can you help me?) -¿Me puedes ayudar a recoger mis juguetes? (Can you help me pick up my toys?) -¿Me puedes ayudar a atar mis zapatos? (Can you help me tie my shoes?) -¿Me puedes decir? (Can you tell me?) -¿Me puedes decir donde esta el baño? (Can you tell me where is the bathroom?) -¿Me puedes decir que color es esto? (Can you tell me what color is this) -¿Me puedes dar? (Can you give me?) -¿Me puedes dar una manzana? (Can you give me an apple) -¿Me puedes dar un platano? (Can you give me a banana) Minimum experience in Spanish will help but is not required. Note taking is encourage but no required.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Throughout my life I have been a Spanish teacher, an online ESL teacher, a GED instructor, taught science in my neighborhood community center. I have held many roles as an educator but the role I have enjoyed the most has been as a family man and the educational experiences I have had with the young learners in my life have been the most rewarding. I have always enjoyed reading to them and teaching them new things. I have taught various types of classes from Spanish to basic science and general knowledge classes. I have taught several online classes with great success in subjects ranging from anatomy to astronomy. Currently I have found teaching Spanish on Outschool very rewarding. Outschool lets me share my passion of storytelling. I started developing my storytelling abilities as a very young boy and perfected them once I became a Father of two very young girls. My stories and teaching methods reflect the dynamic I have with my daughters as a single father raising two daughters full time. The challenges and rewards have made me grow into a better person and a better dad. I strive to better myself as an educator and take into consideration all aspects of my learners needs within the classroom.
I have a Bachelor of science in engineering and my work background is in Electrical Engineering, with various other skills and abilities mixed In. I am currently working on my psychology degree with an emphasis on child psychology. My passion for learning and teaching goes hand in hand. I approach every teaching moment as an opportunity to learn as well.
I am an avid trivia enthusiast having competed and winning multiple trivia competitions. Random facts and the pursuit of enlightenment fill my days. If I can share my fun facts and help a child see learning as a fun activity my goal as a teacher is fulfilled.
