Language specialist at English Mentor who designs custom learning programs and evaluates Spanish and English output against clear criteria.

Mexico
Message

At English Mentor, the online language school I founded, I design custom English programs for professionals and write lesson materials tailored to each learner’s job and level. I also coordinate three teachers and review the quality of their classes and materials.

Since 2020, I’ve taught Mexican Spanish to learners from the United States and Canada. I explain grammar, pronunciation, idioms, and cultural context, and create practice activities around each learner’s goals.

Across my teaching and learning-design work, I assess written and spoken output against rubrics, give corrective feedback, and write clear rationales. My background includes communication sciences and master's-level training in Gestalt psychotherapy.
