Mercedes Gurrola
Spanish
Mercedes and her family moved to this area two years ago from Mexico. Mercedes has a Bachelor’s Degree in Accounting and an Educational Certificate in Project Management in Mexico. Her studies included teaching techniques for different learning styles. Since moving to Washington, Mercedes has been working as a paraeducator at Armin Jahr Elementary School, which is a bilingual school in the Bremerton School District.
She has also been teaching community classes to adults wanting to learn Spanish. As a language learner herself, Mercedes is excited to share what she has learned from that experience with her students.
