My passion for teaching has grown over the years, from teaching my own children to each new student in my classroom. I have been teaching a variety of students for the past fifteen years: PreK-high school students from the U.S.: Massachusetts, California, Oregon, Florida, Maryland, Michigan and Texas; and international children, adult, business and university students from Asia, Europe and Latin America. My teaching settings have varied with my travels: I have had the opportunity to teach ESL Business classes to executives at multinational companies in Ecuador, South America. There, I branched out to university students to prepare them for a Standardized Test, or to continue their studies in English abroad. In Boston, I taught at two large language institutes with a variety of international students of all ages, from 5 to 80. I have taught ESL subjects, and Spanish to high school students. Additionally, I have taught Reading in English and Spanish to PreK-Middle school students. I'm passionate about teaching: Reading in English or Spanish; Spanish 1,2,3, 4 using a variety of standard school textbooks; ESL subjects: Conversation, Pronunciation, Reading, Writing, Listening, Idioms, Grammar, and Business topics. I possess several ESL teaching certificates: TESOL, TKT and SEI (public school) and I completed my U.S. certified, university education in Ecuador, South America, Bachelor of Arts, Business Administration degree. My hobbies include reading about history and biographies, cooking, and traveling. Creating a motivating learning atmosphere where students can excel is important to me. My classroom allows for learning where you feel interested, actively participating, wanting to speak, and absorbing the language and the culture, which will make all the difference in how YOU learn. I look forward to helping you reach your goals in learning together.
