Spanish, Social Studies

Soy Modesto Antonio Guzmán Calderón, profesor de Español con treinta años de experiencia docente. Mi práctica se extiende desde el nivel de Primaria (3.º a 6.º grado) hasta Secundaria (8.º y 10.º grado), lo que me permite tener  comprensión  de las necesidades lingüísticas en diferentes etapas del desarrollo cognitivo.

Mi metodología se centra en el enfoque investigativo, analítico y crítico, buscando transformar el aula en un espacio donde los estudiantes construyen su propio conocimiento y desarrollan un pensamiento riguroso frente a los textos y el lenguaje.

Poseo una Maestría en Evaluación de los Aprendizajes, conocimiento que aplico para diseñar estrategias didácticas efectivas y evaluar el progreso estudiantil con precisión.

 Mi compromiso con la alfabetización va más allá del aula, es por ello que he publicado dos libros en Amazon Kindle sobre temáticas variadas.

Como complemento a mi labor principal, utilizo el ajedrez y la enseñanza de guitarra básica como herramientas didácticas para fomentar la concentración, la disciplina y la creatividad en mis alumnos.

En resumen, ofrezco una tutoría fundamentada en la experiencia, el rigor académico y una pasión demostrada por el desarrollo integral de las habilidades comunicativas y el pensamiento crítico.Muchas gracias.

English, Social Studies

I have been teaching at the American Nicaraguan School for nine years and have a strong understanding of the literacy curriculum and grade-level expectations across divisions. I hold five certifications from the Teachers College Reading and Writing Project, focused on both reading and writing units of study. Additionally, I have participated in professional research and studies focused on the Science of Reading and evidence-based vocabulary instruction. I hold a degree in Education and am currently pursuing a Master’s in Psychology in Education, further deepening my understanding of how students learn and thrive.

My name is Olivia Gunn, and this will be my 8th year as a teacher at ANS. I taught 7th, 8th, and 10th grade English, Philosophy, and AP Human Geography before transitioning to my current role of Director of the Capstone and Internship Programs.

In the past several years, I have supported countless students as they have developed their college essays. It is truly a joy to help students as they embark on this next chapter in their lives. 

As a tutor, I prioritize connecting with students, understanding their areas of need, and supporting them as they continue to grow.

Hello, my name is Mr. Hoversen. I am new to ANS this year. I am coming from the Gambia West Africa, where I taught AP World History in AP US Government at the American Embassy school there for two years. Previously worked in the American Studies Department at a university in Budapest teaching predominantly lectures in history. I am very engaging in one on one setting and really quite good at tutoring.
