Hello! My name is Carmen. I am from the United States of America, but I now live in Spain with my family. I have a Bachelor's degree in Social Science and I am TEFL certified (120 hours). I am kind, patient, and excited to help you with whatever your English learning needs are! I have 10 years of teaching experience in different areas of various ages. I love art, fashion, interior design, I am a new author, mother of two, I like some travel, sports (I prefer playing sports, rather than watching them), anything creative, and animals.
Me as a Teacher
My teaching style is fun and laid-back, leaving a relaxing learning environment. I am patient and encourage students to makes mistakes so they can learn.
My lessons & teaching style
I specialize in helping you with friendly conversations, which will develop your courage and confidence in speaking the English language in a fun way! I can also teach popular and common American idioms along the way. I have plenty of patience, and I like to motivate people in whatever goals they want to achieve. I am here for you.

Carmen is a fantastic teacher! She is professional, cheerful, patient and always able to make me feel comfortable.
During my last class she helped me prepare for my last job interview and it went very well! She listened to me and helped me a lot, preparing me to face the interview in the best possible way!!!
