Lingua Educational Services (LES)

As an educational consultant and throughout my teaching career, I have had the wonderful opportunity to instruct a diverse group of high school students, including those who performed below, on, and above grade level. I have participated in numerous professional development courses, allowing me to enhance my teaching techniques and implement engaging activities which facilitate all styles of learners. In addition to being a high school teacher, I am also a college-level Spanish tutor and Spanish medical interpreter. My experience as a Spanish medical interpreter in the last several years has enriched my cultural and linguistic knowledge of Spanish and has provided me with a greater involvement with parents and children. My greatest applicable strength is my ability to design stimulating lesson plans that instill a love for learning. I incorporate fun, manipulative and hands-on activities to accommodate multiple intelligences, encourage student learning, consolidate important concepts and enhance students' academic skills. Furthermore, I establish a relaxed atmosphere that promotes socialization and real-world connections as well as open and honest communication.
