Lina Monroy-Garcia
Spanish Teacher
Platte County High School
"I am a native from Colombia, and I am very proud to teach my language and my culture to your children. I graduated with an International Languages Degree with a minor in educational studies. This is my first-year teaching but I’m very excited to share my knowledge. I have been moving and experiencing different cultures throughout my life. I moved to the States when I was younger and I lived in Hawaii, and Germany. While in Germany I visited many countries where I took the time to learn and understand their culture and language.
My cultural background and native Spanish speaker abilities will bring a different, challenging, and effective day to day academic achievement to your children. My expertise in the language will not only bring different aspects but will also have impact based on personal language experiences. I plan to have a variety of strategies and opportunities for my students to learn the language which it will involve repetition, memorization and fun activities that will allow them to learn the language."
