Bilingual and holding dual degrees in English and Spanish, la profesora has years of experience teaching children through adults, including: homeschooling her own children, teaching Sunday school and women's Bible studies, helping coordinate and lead multiple short term mission trips to Mexico, teaching Spanish to scores of students in the homeschool community, and working in Hispanic missions both overseas and locally.
Exposure to the TPRS (Teaching Proficiency through Reading and Storytelling) approach has greatly influenced her classroom instruction. Using a narrative method, she witnesses tremendous enthusiasm and impressive progress among her students that usually far surpasses what they accomplish/retain through self-paced programs. Providing teacher-directed student interaction that fuels the learning process, the classes ignite the students' imaginations, and parents get the equivalent of private school language instruction at a fraction of the cost.
