I am so happy to participate in my students' success in life here at Nolan Ryan Junior High!

I received part of my early education in Mexico, hence my expertise.

I earned a Bachelor's degree in Advertising from the University of Houston. After that I participated in tutoring underprivileged children something that I did as a favor for my community. Well, the kids that I helped gave me more than I gave them. They made me discover what my true calling is: TEACHING.

I went back to school because I fell in love with teaching and I am truly happy that I can say today that I hold the most rewarding job title anybody could ever have: I am a Teacher.

Course Objectives

It is both polite and profitable to learn Spanish. We are here to learn the Spanish that will help you be friendly and convey what you need among Spanish speakers. After you take this course you will speak the “basics”, unassisted and with confidence in your pronunciation. Also, you will have knowledge and appreciation for other cultures around the world.

The “basics” are the numbers, days, months, colors, food, body parts, family descriptors, questions, and requests.

Do take this opportunity life is presenting to you and explore how other people in the world live, eat, celebrate, love. This gives us hope, options, and a clearer sense of self. You can make the world a better, friendlier place by learning your Spanish here in Nolan Ryan.

To all my students,

You will learn a lot, I promise. All that I ask from you is summed up in 2 requests: try your best and please do not interrupt me if I am teaching: effort and respect.

Think of the advantages in life that having a 2^nd language can provide you, not just money but socially, too.

Sincerely,

Nayely Hernández
