About Natascha

Hi, my name is Natascha, but my students call me Ms. C!
Since you are just getting to know me I thought I might share with you some small bits of information about myself. 

A little bit about my credentials: 
I completed my Bachelors of Arts in Linguistics with a minor in Germanic Studies at University of California Riverside. I completed my Masters of Arts in Teaching shortly thereafter, at the University of Southern California, and decided to get my  Special Education in addition to my Multiple Subject during the same program. 

I have taught two years of English to non-native speakers, and am now in my second year of teaching German to mostly non-natives as well! 

A little about myself: 
I enjoy reading books, sitting on the beach and I LOVE to do arts and crafts, such as sewing, redoing furniture, baking cakes, and crocheting. I love Iced teas, and Chai-tea lattes so much, that my friends joke that my classroom runs on LOVE and Starbucks! 

A little about my teaching philosophy:
I firmly believe that we all should be life long learners, we learn from every instance, mistake and success we ever make. Bruce Lee once said, " Learning is never cumulative, it is a movement of knowing, which has no beginning and no end." 

And lastly....

A little quote from Goethe himself: 
"Everywhere, we learn only from those whom we love." 

Get Creative, Get Clever, Get Crafty
