Gabriela Barrera

Spanish Teacher 1st - 12th Grade

Saludos, this is Gabriela, born in Southern California. I was raised by two wonderful immigrant parents from Mexico. We moved to Arizona in 1993, where I studied computer engineering and worked for the Intel Corporation in Chandler for almost 10 years.

I met my husband, Jesse, of 23 years, in our youth group at church. We have two wonderful girls: Olivia, who’s 10, and Sofia, who is 8. Both girls are very active in the wonderful game of fútbol! They practice hard and play even harder!

We have homeschooled the girls since pre-K, and we are loving the journey. My passion to serve has always been part of my initiative to strive in all I do. Teaching Spanish at other co-ops has been a wonderful and exciting experience. Seeing students excel in Spanish and learn to communicate with others has been a blessing.

My goal is to serve your children; learning Spanish should be a fun journey... a fiesta!
