About Me
👋 I hold a TESOL and CELTA certification, a Bachelor’s degree in Political Science, and a Master’s degree in Bilingual Education. I am a native English speaker with advanced fluency in Spanish, which allows me to effectively support learners from diverse linguistic backgrounds.
I view education as a collaborative process, tailored to each student’s individual needs. With over ten years of experience teaching both online and in classroom settings, I have worked successfully with children, teens, and adults at a wide range of proficiency levels. My goal is to provide engaging, structured, and high-quality lessons that lead to real progress.
Please feel free to reach out with details about your learning goals. Together, we can choose the best approach to support your success. While I offer structured courses, I am also happy to incorporate your own materials when appropriate.

My trial lessons
During the 30-minute trial lesson, we focus on getting to know each other and understanding your English needs. We’ll start with a relaxed conversation about your background and goals - no pressure, no preparation, and no tests. Then we’ll do a few short speaking and listening activities to understand your level. I’ll explain your strengths, challenges, and possible next steps. If time allows, you’ll try a short activity to experience my teaching style.
