Hello!

I graduated from FIU in 2015 with a Bachelor's in Art and a minor in Art History. I grew up knowing I wanted to be an artist. Since childhood, I had been writing stories, illustrating, in love with music and video-games. I realized later that I can combine my love for art with students when I learned how much I loved teaching throughout my pursuit of education. I hope to inspire my students and excite them about being creative and seeing new perspectives.

Art gives children the opportunity for self-development, understanding and critical thinking. It allows them to express creativity, intuition and knowledge of subject matter in unique ways. Students also learn how to problem solve, work together, learn social skills, give and receive construction criticism, patience, and other skills.

My goal is to help students not only learn about art but to be able to use it as a tool for communication in their life and see art as a language that all humans share everywhere in the world.

Welcome, ACSP Family!

I’m excited to begin my fifth year at Academir, teaching music to grades 2nd – 5th and leading the music enrichment program. I hold a Master’s degree in Music Therapy and a Bachelor’s degree in Music with a focus on flute performance. I bring over 20 years of teaching experience and am passionate about creating an engaging, inclusive space where all students can enjoy music, connect with others, and express themselves creatively.

Greetings!

My name is Nelson Gutierrez, also known as Mr. G or Coach G for short. I graduated from FIU with a Bachelor's in Psychology. I've been teaching elementary a little over 3 years as a STEM Lab teacher, but this year I will be teaching Physical Education. I have experience in the military and some sports, so I know the importance of being healthy and active and I am very excited to motivate the kids to incorporate this into their lives. Let's make this year a fun and eventful year!
