CELTA-certified English teacher and interpreter with 18+ years improving learners through engaging, inclusive instruction.
What I'm looking for
I’m a CELTA-certified English teacher and interpreter with 18+ years of professional experience teaching English to diverse learner populations across age groups and proficiency levels. I specialize in IELTS preparation and examination administration, and I’m known for designing engaging lessons, monitoring student progress, and creating inclusive learning environments for young learners (ages 4–17) and adults.
As a Founder & Senior English Teacher, I design and deliver instruction for intermediate and advanced learners (B1–B2+), using multimedia-enriched materials built with tools like Canva and other digital resources. I also lead with learner autonomy—structured practice, error correction, and clear guidance—supported by responsive asynchronous communication via WhatsApp and email, plus community-building through social media. Alongside teaching, I work as a freelance conference interpreter, delivering simultaneous and consecutive interpretation for 100+ professional events across Colombia and the region, drawing on specialized terminology across finance, technology, healthcare, and environmental management.
