Hello! Iām Olivia, an experienced English teacher from Maryland with a passion for language learning, wellness, and cooking. I hold a Bachelorās in Spanish and a TESOL Advanced Certification, earned in 2018. Iāve taught in the U.S. and Colombia, including at a top institute in Cartagena de Indias. Outside of teaching, Iām a certified yoga instructor and love integrating mindfulness into my lessons. My love for the Spanish language enriches my approach, and Iām excited to help you reach your goals with fun, engaging lessons!
