Meet the Instructor, Tyson Scott  
My first trip to Mexico was in 1997 through an exchange program between the University of Northern Iowa and Tec de Monterrey, at the Colima campus. In Colima, I continued to study the Spanish language, but also enjoyed a wide variety of related classes including Mexican history, literature, and culture. My appreciation of Mexico increased as I learned more about the country and its cooking, art and music. In 2000, I returned to Tec de Monterrey as an English teacher. I taught at the Colima campus for two years, and then tranferred to the school's Manzanillo campus in 2002, where I taught two more years. In 2004, I had an opportunity to branch out and transferred to the Jan Castillo Idiomas school. At Jan's I taught Spanish as well as English, and enjoyed the dynamic atmosphere of a totally language-based school. It was while teaching at the Idiomas school that I developed the foundation for my unique teaching method. I successfully taught scores of students how to function in a second language, and honed my skills as a language instructor with Jan until she closed her doors in 2008. I have been studying Spanish for thirteen years and teaching it for four. I love the Spanish language, and Mexico in particular. I bring that love, along with a passion for teaching, to my classes.
