About Me
¡Hola y Bienvenido!
My name is Vicki Thompson, and I have been teaching Spanish for twelve years. I have taught Spanish to children from Kindergarten through High School and have tutored college students as well. I have a Bachelor's Degree in Psychology and Spanish and a Master's Degree in Counseling Psychology. I spent the last year of my undergraduate studies at The Universidad de Sevilla, in Seville, Spain. This year solidified my love of the Spanish language.
In 2010 I left my counseling practice to return home to homeschool my three children, who at the time were 11, 9, and 7. At that time, I was asked at our Local homeschool group if I would teach Spanish, and I have been teaching ever since. I am excited to help students learn to express themselves in a brand new language. Being bilingual has been shown to improve problems solving and decision-making. It can give children an academic advantage and increases their cultural awareness. Being bilingual makes us better global citizens.
I currently live in Plainfield, Illinois with my husband, our three children and two cats.
