Andrea Gomez Calderon

Hello there, my name is Andrea Paola and I like to refer to myself as Paola. In addition to my background as an English and Spanish teacher, I have a master's degree in Neuropsychology and Education. I have been teaching for ten years. Teaching English for three years in schools, teaching in universities for another three years, and working in language institute for almost nine years are all part of my experience. During my most recent position for two years as an elementary teacher, I taught all of the common core subjects (English Language Arts, Math, Social Studies, Science), as well as Spanish. I was a volunteer who taught English to Latin-American communities and Spanish to American ones. I love starting the sessions by knowing each other’s and identify the way the students learn to accommodate my lesson to their learning styles and target to all of them. My approach to teaching involves starting with a song to improve your listening skills and then incorporating Total Physical Response to allow students to experiment with their knowledge. Continuing by explaining and practicing through songs and / or interactive PowerPoint presentations, and then move on to games where students can review and practice their newly acquired knowledge. To conclude, they should carry out an activity that allows the students to demonstrate their competence in the subject matter being taught.
