Spanish with Miss O'Harra

¡Bienvenidos a la clase de Español!

 

¡Bienvenidos a la clase de Español!/Welcome to Spanish class! Hola/Hello, my name is Rachel O’Harra and this is my third year teaching Spanish at Achiever Christian School. I have a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and Spanish Studies from the Santa Clara University and I will continue my education as I embark on my second year in my Master’s program in Counseling Psychology. The Latin American culture has had a great influence in my life, coming from a Peruvian family background. I am looking forward to teaching Spanish to your children and sharing with them the appreciation I have for this beautiful language!
