Hello, my name is Lorna Alvarez Solano. I have a degree in Psychopedagogy, and I have more than 20 years of experience in education. I have worked both in public and private areas, and I have experience in all educational cycles. Since I was a child, I was inclined to be a teacher. Later, I met psychology and fell in love with it, and I had the great opportunity to get to psychopedagogy, which makes a fusion of both disciplines in addition to providing support to all human beings who are in the teaching and learning process; and for that reason, I specialized in this area. I have worked with children and teenagers, as well as with university students, in a classroom and in private tutoring. I consider myself a sensitive person, and I really like to support children and adolescents and make them see that the world has a wide range of opportunities waiting for them.
