Sandra Navarrete
Preschool Spanish Guide
Sandra obtained her BA degree in Spanish Language, Hispanic Literature and Culture from SUNY (State University of New York) College at Old Westbury. Sandra has always looked forward to working with children on immersive language instruction. One of her memorable teaching experiences involved a trip to her native country of El Salvador, where she volunteered her time as a substitute English teacher at an elementary/middle school. Prior to teaching at TRIS, Sandra was a Spanish teacher for a non-profit and was excited to join the Oak team in November 2015.
