I always like to give real-time feedback to students during class time as well as informal progress reports to guardians 2-3 times during the length of the course.Class Experience
This 6-week course is not like my previous two 6-week courses. Yes, we will practice speaking and reading in Spanish. However, we will also expand our cultural and geographical knowledge about the Hispanic world while communicating in Spanish in hypothetical authentic experiences. We will begin each class with a quick intro to the country we will focus on and a short virtual tour based on the setting of the lesson (i.e. the museum, the beach, the rainforest, etc.). Afterwards, I will give short, direct instruction on the vocabulary and grammar that we will use (with quick checks for understanding and formative assessments). Lastly, we will spend the rest of class time discussing what we see and answering the lesson's main questions in Spanish. (Do not worry! I will have scaffolding materials easily visible to students so that they can use them if they need an extra resource besides their notes.)
Learning Goals
Students will grow to feel more comfortable expressing themselves in Spanish in different scenarios.
Students will expand their knowledge about the Hispanic world.

¡Hola estudiantes y familias! It is great to meet you. My name is Vicky Stankowski and I teach beginner to advanced levels of Spanish on Outschool. I taught Secondary Spanish for the past nine years in Ohio. I have also taught English as a Second Language through an online platform called VIPKID for the past seven years. I have always believed that education is the key to any success a person wants and I am amazed at how accessible education is, especially in today's world. Education should be fun and it should be an engaging experience. It is a two-way street. I enjoy teaching Spanish and ESL because they foster global citizens for life!
Something personal about me... I LOVE TO DANCE! I am married to a magnificent Polish man who happens to be my high school sweetheart. We have two dogs. Many would describe me as a social butterfly. I love people. I believe in people and that is what drives me to teach the best that I can.
