HOLA!
I'M ROBERTO ESCALANTE GONZALEZ
Welcome to my Teaching ePortfolio.
ABOUT
Born in Mexico and raised in the suburbs of Detroit, Michigan - Talk about a powerful two-punch combo.
I'm a first generation Mexican-American who is passionate about language and food and exchanging the former while consuming the latter. I'm a fitness fanatic and a wannabe connoisseur of music and culture.
​
Enthusiasm runs through my veins as I recognize I am just one of hundreds who have been selected to relocate to Madrid, Spain to enrich pubic school students with the English language and American culture.
I live to be challenged to think outside the box, improvise when necessary and empathize with students. Most importantly, I have come to understand the vitalness of a bi-lingual instruction in an educational setting.
