¡Buenos días y bienvenidos a la clase de Español! My name is Señorita Alvarez and I have the privilege of teaching both Spanish I and II this year. I am located in room 579 in the upstairs area in House 4. My tutorials are in the mornings from 6:20-7:00 and afternoons Mon-Thrs from 2:36-4:00. The easiest and fastest way of contacting me is via email at ealvarez@springisd.org

Studies show that learning a second language results in students achieving greater divergent thinking, creativity, and cognitive development compared to monolingual children. Studies have also shown that when students learn a second language they have a tendency to outscore those who are proficient in only a single language on tests of nonverbal and verbal intelligence.

1. Practice, practice practice!!
2. Be patient. Learning a second language takes time and devotion
3. Find opportunities outside of class to listen and speak Spanish. Try watching Spanish tv, listening to Spanish radio, and speaking to friends in Spanish.
4. Make flash cards.
5. Label your surroundings

I graduated from Sam Houston State University with a Bachelor's of Arts in Criminal Justice and a minor in Spanish. Other than teaching I enjoy running, reading, and photography. I coach youth soccer and love country dancing. I'm currently training to run a half marathon and spend the rest of my non-existing time cheering on the Houston Rockets.



¡Vivan Los Rockets!
