Hello! My name is Rosa Sánchez Acosta, and I am from Madrid, Spain. I am the new Amity Assistant at the Junior High this year. I am helping in Spanish classes with Mrs. Romero and Mr. Brenes. I have a Pedagogy degree from Universidad Complutense de Madrid.
I decided to come to the USA because I want to share my culture and my knowledge with students, to learn about American culture, to meet other people, and of course, to improve my English. But the most important thing I want to do here is to improve as a teacher and as a person. Read More...
I am willing to help your students by doing some tutoring and giving them extra help after school. I am also interested in babysitting.
As we look forward to the next school year, we want to encourage PSI families to consider hosting an Amity intern. There are many benefits:
• Interns are full of culture to share
• Hosting is a great way to share your interest in diverse cultures with your children
• Interns make a great audience for your child’s developing Spanish
• Hosting models international diplomacy in your own house
• You will have a new international pen pal
• PSI students love seeing their “brother” or “sister” at school and riding the bus with him or her
• You provide a home away from home for a dedicated intern teacher at PSI.
