What I'm looking for

I am looking for US opportunities to refocus my career while continuing my studies of English as a second language, bringing my Spanish teaching experience and PhD in Psychology to support children’s development with empathy and structure.

I am a Spanish teacher with a PhD in Psychology and 25 years of experience teaching in front of a group. In the US, I work as a Spanish teacher for Early Childhood and Elementary levels, and I also support students and classrooms through one-on-one and small-group review of lessons, along with assistance for special learning requirements.

I combine teaching experience with psychology to help students feel important and valued at different stages of life. I have also contributed to Spanish program design and course content, and I taught Reading comprehension Strategies and Oral and Written Expression at the university level; my graduate research focuses on family dynamics and its implications in violent behavior of adolescents, mediated by social reputation.
