Salma Ruiz-Cruz Teaches English During YouthWorks
We love seeing our students give back to the community! Rising Junior Salma Ruiz-Cruz has been busy this summer in the Baltimore YouthWorks program. Salma spent the last month teaching English to Spanish-speakers ages 6-12. She tutored the children with worksheets on topics such as grammar, vocabulary and spelling.
Salma says that her favorite part of the experience was watching as the kids became more comfortable with her over the month, and getting to grow with them at the same time. A highlight for her was working on her own Spanish skills as she helped translate for the parents. Salma is interested in teaching, and she says that this experience helped give her insight on what age she likes to teach most.
We are very proud of Salma for the wonderful job she has done this summer!
