Me as a Teacher
I am a simultaneous translator with a certification in Teaching Spanish to Foreigners. I have recently completed my Master’s Degree in Linguistics, applied to teaching Spanish as a foreign language. I started teaching English in 2007, and then I decided to guide people in the process of learning Spanish as a foreign language.
