Hello! Welcome to your first step in achieving your language goals. I am a native Californian with a mission to help others improve their lives.
I teach because I get satisfaction from helping others make individual positive changes which can lead to broader positive change.Me as a Teacher
Everyone can learn -- no matter your age, education level, or personal history. I adapt my lessons and instruction to your own personal needs and goals. I structure my instructional time around providing as much real world application as possible of the skills you’re learning. Practice, practice, practice is the key to success!
Don't wait! Now is always the perfect time to begin or to continue your journey of self improvement.My lessons & teaching style
Every student learns differently. I have over 13 years of experience teaching both in the classroom and online. Over that time, I have learned and refined different methods to instruct different types of learners. My methodology is to craft and adapt my instruction based on your goals, skill level, and learning style.My teaching material

Very flexible and experienced teacher. I take customized lessons according to my needs, including interviews and conversation practice for my work meetings. After 2 months I can explain and understand my clients well. Highly recommended! Thank you Gerardo!

Gerado has assisted me in getting ready for a job interview. He had a well-organized plan and consistently provided insightful feedback. I feel very at ease and confident when I role-play an interview with him.
