I approach teaching much the same way I approach learning. I remember the things that helped me to learn Music, Spanish, and Portuguese, and I use those tips to encourage my students with a reassuring demeanor to push them.
Since receiving my Bachelor's degree in History from Florida State University in 2000, I have dedicated my life to working in Education. After obtaining my TEFL certificate in Buenos Aires in 2009, I polished my Spanish skills while teaching in English in a variety of environments, the last of which was the Universidad Abierta Interamericana in Buenos Aires.
