Hola!  My name is Mr. Soth but please call me Maestro or Profe because Soth sounds very strange in Spanish because of the silent “h”.  I look forward to working with you as your teacher this school year.  I know it will be a rewarding experience for all of us. 

A little about me:  Before beginning at Northwest in 2001, I had been teaching Spanish at UNCG while completing my Masters in Spanish Education and taught there for four summers.  Before that I worked in industry as a Spanish/English translator.  I have lived in Argentina and have traveled throughout Mexico, Honduras, Guatemala, Puerto Rico, Spain, and Costa Rica. This last summer I spent seven weeks traveling and studying in Spain.  I have both attended and presented at Foreign Language Teaching Conferences, I help grade the Spanish AP test, and maintain a Spanish Web Page.  My experiences have given me a good background in language and in teaching.  You are in good hands.

I am here everyday from 8:00 to 8:30 AM to assist you with any of your learning needs (as the Northwest women’s soccer coach, my afternoons a pretty much booked in the Spring).  The department does though have afternoon tutors Mondays through Thursday afternoons. If I cannot be here, I will let you know ahead of time.   Please feel free to come see me with any problems you are having in my class and we will work on them together. You should though make an appointment if you need to see me so I know when and why you are coming to see me.  You or your parents may also email me at sotht@gcsnc.com or contact me at school at 605-3300.
