What I'm looking for
I am an enthusiastic and patient language teacher with experience teaching English and Spanish to students from different countries and backgrounds. I focus on creating fun, communicative, and culturally rich lessons adapted to each student’s goals.
As a freelancer and classroom teacher I design personalized lessons using diverse digital tools and authentic materials to improve communicative skills and real-life use. I have prepared learners for international exams such as Cambridge and TOEFL and adapt content for travel, work, conversation, and academic support. I use songs, games, and stories to build vocabulary and encourage participation.
