Hi, I’m Olivia 🤎 I’m a TESOL-certified English teacher from the U.S., fluent in Spanish, with 7+ years of experience teaching in Baltimore, Cartagena de Indias, and online. I offer calm, confidence-building conversation classes for adults who want to sound natural, show their real personality, and talk about travel, relationships, wellness, work, spirituality, and everyday life. With my background in yoga, holistic wellness, and cross-cultural living, classes feel like a thoughtful café conversation. You’ll feel safe, seen, and gently challenged, with soft structure, real connection, and steady progress. ✨
Me as a Teacher
I’m not a “repeat-after-me” teacher.
I help you:
• relax your nervous system so your words flow
• stop translating in your head
• speak with warmth, clarity, and confidence in real situations
I’ve worked with:
• Spanish-speaking professionals
• women rebuilding confidence after bad school experiences
• travelers and digital nomads
• wellness, hospitality & creative industry people
I listen deeply, correct kindly, and adapt quickly. My role is to create a space where you’re not afraid to talk and where you leave each class feeling more like yourself in English.
My lessons & teaching style
My lessons are relaxed yet structured, focusing on real-world English for travel, work, and daily life. I blend conversation, vocabulary, and pronunciation practice with authentic materials like videos, articles, and role-plays, to build confidence and fluency naturally. I correct gently, explain clearly, and create space for genuine connection. Mistakes are welcome; they’re how you grow. Each class is practical, personal, and designed to make English feel natural, not forced. 🌿
