Profe Shelby is originally from southern New Jersey. Although she only started learning Spanish in 9th grade, she quickly realized how much she enjoyed it! While in college, Shelby studied for a semester in Seville, Spain. Living in Spain improved her Spanish-speaking skills and allowed her to see more of the world. After receiving her degree in Spanish Education, Shelby moved back to Spain for one year where she taught English to elementary students in Madrid. She loves to travel and learn more about other cultures. Recently, Shelby visited Colombia and hopes to visit more Spanish-speaking countries someday! 

Shelby has been teaching elementary Spanish for five years, and now lives in Queens, New York City. She believes that learning a new language should be engaging and fun! She loves incorporating games, stories, and songs into language learning. Shelby looks forward to supporting your child's language-learning journey!
