My name is Natalia Arroyo. I was born in Zaragoza (Spain), but almost all my life I have been living in Lleida (Spain). Since I was very young I wanted to become a teacher. My bachelor is in Elementary Education. I have been teaching for 11 years in all grades from preschool to 6th grade. I have also had the opportunity to teach in very different education environments from rural to city schools.
At some point I decided I wanted to grow professionally and moved to the United States where I have been teaching for 5 years in Delaware and in Massachusetts.
My passion is to be creative and constantly look for different ways to improve my teaching. I have taught three languages, Spanish, Catalan and English. It has helped me realize that I love teaching languages in Immersion classrooms where I incorporate my creativity. I believe teaching is a work of heart and loving what I do is what makes me keep growing.
