About Me
Hola! Ni hao! Hello community!
I am a TEFL/TESOL certified teacher, cross-cultural leader, writer and traveler currently living between Mexico & the U.S.
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 🇨🇦, Colombia 🇨🇴 and now Mexico 🇲🇽 and I have visited China 🇨🇳, Haiti 🇭🇹, Kenya 🇰🇪, PR 🇵🇷 and the U.A.E 🇦🇪.
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!

I really enjoy the lessons with Travis. He finds the right mix between smalltalk, grammar, vocabulary and an interesting discussion. He is a good conversation partner, especcially if you want to talk about politic, economic or intercultural relation.
