At COLEGIO MAYOR SANTO TOMÁS DE AQUINO (CMSTA), I adapted English curricula for learners with special educational needs and wrote a bilingual guidance booklet to support teachers with language acquisition.

At SANTA CRUZ INTERNATIONAL BILINGUAL SCHOOL, I designed English lessons for primary students and used communicative methods to support engagement and speaking confidence.

As a private English tutor, I delivered personalized lessons around students’ language goals and created learning materials, including for adult Spanish learners in London.

I’m a TESOL-certified educator with experience teaching English and Spanish across Panama, Bolivia, and the UK. My background also includes a Bachelor's Degree in Communication Sciences, specializing in Radio and Television Programming, and work in conversation and public speaking instruction.
