ALICIA DEMOS

I attended the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign for my B.A. in Spanish and Translation (2012) and my M.A. in Hispanic Linguistics (2015). I began teaching beginner and intermediate Spanish courses as a graduate teaching assistant during my masters program. My passion for teaching led me to work with Middlebury-Monterey Language Academy's summer language immersion program and teach an intensive foreign language immersion course at the University of Illinois. I recently graduated from Trinity Christian College with a Professional Educator License for K-12 Spanish. I currently work at Marist High School in Chicago, IL as teach Spanish 1 & 3. My goal as a Spanish teacher is to increase each students proficiency in the language, strengthen their ability to communicate in meaningful, authentic contexts, and develop their knowledge of Spanish-speaking cultures.
