About Me

🌍Hello, Everyone!🌎 My name is Monica, and I love teaching English! I am from Los Angeles, California. I have a Bachelor´s degree in Classical Philosophy from California State University and an English teaching certification from Oxford Seminars in New York City.

I use my⚡charisma, ⚡enthusiasm and⚡organizational skills to create an interesting and unique experience for each student.

A strong foundation in grammar is extremely important, and I would be happy to give you traditional grammar lessons. I also feel that to become really fluent in English, you need to engage in dynamic conversations about things that inspire and interest you. I am passionate about communication, and this is why I feel that I am a talented teacher. I am comfortable talking about any topic and I have an opinion about everything. I would love to know what you think and feel about everything, too! I have traveled to over 40 countries and taught students from at least 25 countries.

I can also help you with Business English and test preparation. I would be honored to gently guide you in your English studies with a smile and genuine dedication to the quality of your learning experience. The learning process should be fun and effective! :)

My lessons and methods are modified in order to suit the needs of each student. I will keep detailed records of your individual progress and make sure to periodically give you an exam or update on your progress. My general interests include yoga, meditation, hiking, surfing, reading, snowboarding, tennis, creative writing and traveling!
