A Passion for Teaching and Caring for Students

“I really appreciate all of the hard work you do for all of us at Interlocken. You bring so much care and compassion to the staff and children, and I can't wait to see all of the wonderful things we can do in 2009!”
 — Stephanie Diaz, Director, Montessori School at Interlocken

Susan’s dedication to her students and school communities is consistently recognized by educators who see firsthand the enthusiasm and positivity she brings into every classroom.

Helping Young Children Become Confident Spanish Speakers

“Ms. Susan, wow—who thought two little gringos could be so fluent in Spanish at 3 and 4 years of age. We will be forever grateful for the beautiful gift you have given us. And it's pretty funny that Mom and Dad don't know what they’re saying half the time. We love you.”

Parents often express amazement at how quickly their young children pick up Spanish through Susan’s engaging lessons, songs, and interactive activities.

Recognized for Dedication and Enthusiasm

“I wanted to let you know how much ESP appreciates having you teach for us and all the love and enthusiasm you share with the students. You have been doing an amazing job, and we have got tons of great responses from parents and children. I’d like to reward your hard work and give you a pay raise starting immediately. Thank you for all your great work, and we hope you will stay with ESP next year as well.”
 — Petra Masnicova, Director, Elementary Spanish Program

Susan’s energy and enthusiasm make learning Spanish exciting for children while earning appreciation from program leaders and administrators.

 — Ellen Torres, Assistant Director, Montessori School at Interlocken

Students look forward to Spanish class because Susan makes language learning fun, interactive, and meaningful.

Susan’s teaching approach combines patience, creativity, and thoughtful engagement to help children feel confident while learning a new language.

A Valuable Addition to School Programs

“Susan has been teaching Spanish to our preschool children for more than five years. The feedback from parents has been exceptional, and for the children, it’s one of the best times of the day. She is an asset to our school.”
— Ed Durso, Managing Partner, Primrose School at the Flatirons

Schools value Susan’s ability to create a positive learning environment where children eagerly participate and develop a love for languages.

Parents appreciate not only the educational value of the program but also the caring connection Susan builds with their children.

Inspiring Children to Share Their Learning

“Susan teaches my son Spanish, and he is so happy to share his new knowledge and observations about her. He has performed his Spanish songs at many parties and family gatherings. Everyone is so impressed. Susan finds and celebrates the gifts and magic in each child.”

Susan encourages children to express themselves, helping them feel proud of their achievements and eager to share their new language skills.

Making Spanish Learning Fun

“Ms. Susan, I feel like I’ve been in your Spanish classes myself. Alana pretends she’s you and gives me a stamp on my hand. She tests us to see if we know Spanish words and says her favorite Spanish song is ‘Red is Rojo.’ She says Spanish class is so much fun! Thank you!”

Through music, games, and creative activities, Susan makes Spanish learning memorable and enjoyable for every student.
