About Me



Hola! Ni hao! Hello community!

I am a TEFL/TESOL certified teacher, cross-cultural leader, writer and traveler currently living in... Mexico!

I have taught in schools and hosted several events as a performer/speaker and poet. I have taught hundreds of 1:1 English classes as well as group classes for pre-beginner migrants to advanced business professionals (Corporate English classes).

I LOVE INTERCULTURAL RELATIONS!!

I have lived in Canada πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦, Colombia πŸ‡¨πŸ‡΄ and now Mexico πŸ‡²πŸ‡½ and I have visited China πŸ‡¨πŸ‡³, Haiti πŸ‡­πŸ‡Ή, Kenya πŸ‡°πŸ‡ͺ, PR πŸ‡΅πŸ‡· and the U.A.E πŸ‡¦πŸ‡ͺ.

I enjoy living in different cultures and learning values and heritage as well as creating businesses and managing local and global projects.

I always try to make my lessons comical, energetic and stimulating.

As an educator I enjoy creating customized lesson plans for my students according to their language needs.

My class structure:
1. Conversation (70%)
2. Grammar/Pronunciation (15%)
3. Vocabulary Building (15%)

I enjoy finding what students are passionate about and customizing lessons that reinforce life skills. Show up motivated and I'll make sure you reach your goals. See you in class!

*Also, as a hip-hop lover I can teach hip-hop, rhyme and poetry classes. International business, traveling and life skills (Diversity and Inclusion, U.S. Business, Economics & Government/Civics) lessons. Hablamos!
