Highlights:Skilled Spanish, ESL, and Dual Immersion teacher focused on implementing highly effective instructional practices to improve student learning and academic performance. The different working opportunities I have had on throughout my life have given me a wide range of experience in working with different kinds of learners, students' ages, and learning styles in both languages: English and Spanish. My teaching experience has mainly been teaching English and Spanish in schools (elementary and secondary levels) and undergraduate levels. I have always been interested in helping others learn the way I would like to be taught, building up an atmosphere of trust, safety and affection. I have implemented some pedagogical strategies taken from relevant streams in Education. My dedication and commitment to work give me great fulfillment, and I am always looking to ways of growing and embracing new challenges in my career development. I have become aware that this process implies an endless voyage; consequently, my undergraduate and graduate studies have mainly been focused on sharpening my knowledge in the area of education and language teaching competence specifically in Spanish as a Foreign Language. Due to my communication, social, and teamwork skills, I am capable of undertaking working responsibilities with teachers and students successfully. My professional profile is significantly enriched by my teaching experience at schools in Dual Immersion programs; this experience has given me a holistic view on what students are needed in order to succeed in their future academic and professional engagements.
