About Me

Hi there! I'm Denver from Oregon in the USA. I've lived in the US until about 2012 when I got the travel bug and did a foreign exchange in Spain. I came back to the US and decided that I liked it better in Spain. So now I live here in Zaragoza, Spain and love it! I learned Spanish as well as Esperanto here in Spain. I am a certified TEFL English teacher with a Bachelor's in Psychology and Communication. I have taught EFL for the last 3 years and this is starting my 4th year teaching.

I have also lived in South Korea and taught English there as well. I'm a very fun, active person and I love teaching conversational English and focus especially on phonetics as well as nuances. I am not afraid to correct my students but I make sure to correct the most important things and not be annoying about having everything 100% correct from the get-go; perfection comes with time. Many of my previous students have told me that they really appreciate that.

Well, that's a bit about me; I hope you enjoy my classes and I very much look forward to meeting and learning about you!
