Meet the instructor
Hi! My name is Amaris Gizzi, the instructor and owner of Verano de Sonrisas! I am extremely happy that you are here seeking some Spanish fun! I’m originally from Arizona and have lived in South Orange County for almost 8 years now. I have an amazing husband and four kiddos!
My love for teaching came early on in high school where I volunteered to teach “The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People” to elementary school kids. Shortly after I began tutoring math at a local tutoring center. I have studied early elementary education at Northern Arizona University and University of Phoenix. I am currently at Saddleback Community College working on receiving my Certificate of Achievement in Early Childhood.
In the last couple of years I’ve been introduced to new ways of teaching that have made my perspective on the way I approach teaching change. I have loved seeing children be outside of the typical indoor classroom and learning in an outdoor environment where they can truly expand their mind and creativity. Therefore through my services I do not only get the privilege to teach children Spanish but I also encourage this way of learning. I have the opportunity to teach in a way where students don’t just have to sit at a table and do worksheets. They’re outside singing, dancing and doing crafts enjoying the world of Spanish.
