Tatiana Galasso
Spanish Teacher, Grades 7–8, Family School 32
 
Tatiana Galasso is a dedicated foreign language educator whose passion for language and culture has made a lasting impact on Yonkers Public Schools. Since beginning her teaching career in 2017, Tatiana has served multiple schools across the district, including César E. Chávez School, María de Hostos MicroSociety School, Westchester Hills School 29, and Family School 32, where she now teaches Spanish exclusively to middle school students.
 
Tatiana’s academic journey began in Quito, Ecuador, where she completed high school. After moving to the United States, she earned a Bachelor’s degree in Interdisciplinary Studies with a concentration in Spanish and later a Master of Arts in Teaching – both from Empire State College. Her love for teaching Spanish stems from her belief that language is a gateway to understanding diverse cultures, ideas, and people. She especially enjoys witnessing her students’ growth and confidence as they begin to speak and connect in a new language.
 
A proud Yonkers resident for over 20 years, Tatiana lives with her husband Steven and their two children, Daniela and Anthony. She continues to champion the importance of bilingualism at home and in the classroom, inspiring students to embrace the power of communication across cultures.
