Maria Rueda’s Biography
¡Bienvenido! I am Maria Rueda, I came from Colombia. My husband and I recently moved to North Carolina with our dog, Simon, who is my furry best friend! As a native Spanish speaker, I am excited to begin my career as a Spanish Teacher with Excelsior Classical Academy! I received a BA in Colombian Legal Studies from Universidad de los Andes, and after 5 years working as a legal consultant in Colombia, I pursued my dream to become a teacher. I earned my Master of Education Degree from Universitat de Barcelona. Teaching is my passion and hobby, so I feel super lucky to have a job in education. My goal is to provide a positive learning environment focused on communication to teach Spanish to speakers of other languages. I love traveling, dancing, swimming, reading, spending time with my family, and learning about health, personal growth, and spirituality.
