About Me

I am an English teacher with 16 years of experience teaching English online, first in elementary schools, then at language institutes, and now online. I have a BA in Spanish and International Studies and a TESOL certification from Arizona State University. I am from the east coast of the US, but have been living in central Mexico for 16 years. I am married and have a 10-year-old daughter who you will likely meet at some point during our lessons, along with our ginger cat Ginny! I love doing yoga (I teach, too!), playing games (Rummikub, Exploding Kittens, puzzles, Sudoku- you name it), reading, and being a foodie (Mexican food is AMAZING!!).

Besides teaching all of the usual English stuff (grammar, conversation, reading skills), I REALLY like to help students with AMERICAN PRONUNCIATION (I am trained in the International Phonetic Alphabet) and JOB INTERVIEWS. So if in 2024/5 you are ready for a career change, I'm your teacher!

***For the price of a class, I'll help you UPDATE YOUR RESUME, website, or other professional content in ENGLISH!

My trial lessons

Hello! During a trial lesson we will talk about your experience with English so far, the goals you have for learning English, and what you want to focus on in class. I will share a bit about myself, and would like to learn more about you! I will also show you some of the authentic English material that I use in my classes.
