教師の専門知識と資格
I hold a Bachelor’s Degree in History with a minor in Mexican American Studies, which provided me with a strong foundation in Mesoamerican history and culture. My passion for this subject has driven me to dedicate years to teaching and sharing this fascinating history with students.
In addition to my formal education, I had the opportunity to study in the Spanish cities of Valencia, Madrid, and Barcelona. This experience deepened my understanding of Spanish history and its connections to the Americas, enhancing my ability to teach topics like colonization and cultural exchange.
I have been teaching Mexican American Studies at the high school level in Dallas for several years, focusing on topics like Mesoamerican civilizations, colonization, and cultural identity. My experience includes creating engaging lesson plans that blend lectures, interactive activities, and multimedia resources to make history accessible and exciting for students.
In addition to classroom teaching, I tutor students online in Mexican American Studies, tailoring lessons to individual learning styles and needs. My approach emphasizes understanding history not just as a series of events, but as a way to connect with and appreciate diverse cultures.
With years of experience working with high school students, I’ve developed strategies to create inclusive and interactive learning environments. I’m committed to making history come alive, fostering curiosity, and encouraging thoughtful discussion.
