Mi nombre es Modesto Guzmán Calderón. Soy profesor de Español y he laborado en Educación por 29 años. Mis áreas de experiencia son Español y Ciencias Sociales en español.

En las asignaturas que desarrollo con los alumnos, aplico el enfoque de carácter investigativo, basado en la criticidad y la búsqueda de elementos científicos y aplicables a la realidad social. 

Gracias.

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.
