About Me

Hi! I'm an English teacher, journalist, and director of a language exchange camp for children. That means I have a fun side, to help you fall in love with English, and a serious nerdy side, to help you study for the IELTS, prepare for a job interview, or perfect your writing. I specialize in teaching English to native Spanish and Portuguese speakers, but I have also worked with many Korean and Mandarin speakers, among others, and I love to meet students from all over the world!

English is my main native language, and I also speak fluent Spanish, some Portuguese and a little German. I am from Ohio and New York City, but now I live in Mexico, where I teach English to children, teens, and adults.

My lessons/packages include:
*First, I check your skills and needs
*Then I create interactive activities to help you build your skills and enjoy speaking English.
*I give you corrections and suggestions for self-study.
*I send you notes after each class including vocabulary and recommendations, and may include homework.

My formal education: I studied American Civilization at Brown University and Journalism at Columbia University.

My loves: playing soccer, drawing, swimming, practicing yoga, capoeira, and dance, and I love my family: two children (one teenager and one small baby!), my partner, and two dogs <3
