Bienvenido (Welcome)! I'm Clara. 

​

I was born in the beautiful country of Puerto Rico and am a bilingual native Spanish speaker who has had the pleasure of teaching Spanish to homeschool students for over eleven years.

 

Besides being a Spanish teacher, I'm also a homeschool parent who knows how important it is to make learning fun and interesting. That's why I incorporate various methods of learning into each of my classes.

​

Whether it's playing Bingo, watching a video, engaging in fun competitions, or just conversing in Spanish, my classes aren't like other Spanish classes your student may have had in the past.

 

The difference? I pay attention to my students and know when to change things up. 

​

My Spanish classes are never carbon copies of each other because students aren't carbon copies of each other. 

​

My goal is to help students gain confidence in learning a new language by offering them a relaxed environment in which to do so. 

​

On a personal note, my family and friends would describe me as easygoing and a bit quirky. I believe it's my quirkiness that helps my students feel relaxed in my classes.

​

I've been married to my wonderful husband for over 20 years and have two amazing sons. 

​

I'm a Christ-follower who enjoys teaching, gardening, designing websites, and spending time with my family and friends.
