Professional Biography Teresa Romano
Spanish Teacher¡ Hola!
Bienvenidos a las clases de Español. ¡Espero que tengamos un año escolar fabuloso!
I am originally from Bolivia. My first experience in the US was as an exchange student in New York state. I lived with wonderful families and got to experience the culture and the English language first hand during my senior year in HS. One year later, I decided to come back to the U.S. and persue my undergraduate degree in Journalism and my Masters in Curriculum and Instruction. I also graduated from the University of Salamanca, Spain in Cultures and Spanish Architecture. I also hold advanced degrees in Spanish Literature and Heritage Learning.
I am very excited to teach at Riverside this year. I have been a classroom teacher for 17 years. However, every year is a brand new beginning. Every student is an opportunity for growth. My wish is that students not only take Spanish for a credit course, but as a lifetime skill. Learning about other cultures and languages opens students minds to many wonderful experiences and opportunities.
Please feel free to contact me anytime to help you in this process!
