Teacher Feature: Guadalupe (Lupe) Lopez
Lupe has been with the Intensive English Program since May of this year. Prior to working at MIIS, she worked in the educational publishing industry, writing and editing language materials for K–12. While working full time for a publisher in Monterey, she started her MA in TESOL at MIIS, a journey that took her six years to complete. She is grateful for the opportunity to continue on at MIIS as an instructor. Most recently, she taught Reading and Vocabulary; Oral Communication; and American Politics and Culture. The best part of the job is discovering her students’ talents and finding ways to showcase their accomplishments through videos or songs, which they then share with a wider audience. Outside of the classroom, Lupe enjoys spending time with her husband and three children.
