Samantha Merca

I believe that learning another language at an early age is not only a once in a life time opportunity but also a very important tool in the students' development. It is a process that greatly improves analytical and social skills. 


I have 15+ years of delightful experience in teaching Spanish language and Hispanic culture to students of all ages (pre-K to adults). Special endorsements in applying language teaching methods and theory of natural approach (where students' knowledge is acquired in much the same way we all learn our native language). I am Colombian native!

I began teaching in 2007; teaching at STPX since 2022.
