Isabelle Morris

Bienvenidos a la clase de Español! Bienvenus a la classe de francais!

My name is Sra/Mme Isabelle Morris and I am going to be your Spanish/French  teacher this year at STARRS online. I am very happy to have you in my class. If you want to reach out to me, need help or have a question, please email me at: Isabelle.morris@swwc.org

I am originally from the South of France. I lived in Madrid, Spain for two years before moving to the United States where I completed a degree in Spanish. I taught a combination of French and Spanish at a public high school in San Antonio, Texas for twenty-six years. I moved to Edina, Minnesota two years ago. I have two children: Marielle, 27, a machine learning engineer for Nike, and  Francois, 21, student and waiter at a  restaurant in San Antonio. My dog is a Belgian Shepherd.  I love the outdoors and I am very active: running, road biking, hiking, traveling and cooking.
