Spanish Education, Private lessons, Adolescent and Young Adult Education

Welcome to POGO and to my classroom! It was from my start with POGO in June 2016 that I discovered the great fulfillment I get from watching my students take it up to the next level. I also began teaching English to young Chinese students with VIPKID in November 2017, which has further expanded my repertoire of teaching experience. My degree in dietetics from Brigham Young University focused on teaching methods within nutrition. I also included a full Spanish fluency education, after which I worked as a Spanish-English interpreter for two years. At home, I begin preschool with my kids well before they turn two. My two-year-old daughter is starting to sound out words, and my three-year-old son is starting to read basic books. Both know their colors and are learning basic mathematics and whatever else I may think to share with them. My house is a house of learning because that is what the mind was made to do, and my classroom is the same. I am continually amazed by the intellectual capacity of individuals when they combine interest with a little proactive discipline, particularly when they have the vision to see the value of their education. I love to learn and to teach on all levels because I love intellectual stimulation and expansion, and truly need a daily dose of it to survive the stresses of life. Come to my classroom and join in on my fun!
