About Me
italki teacher since Sep 25, 2018InterestsMusicFoodTravel
I have been a language teacher for more than 25 years, I love to meet people from around the globe and show a bit of my culture. I was born and raised in Mexico, but moved to Canada and lived in Toronto for five years. Not only that, but I enjoy travelling and discover this wonderful world. Furthermore, I have visited almost all of my country, Mexico, and also I have been to distant places like China, Thailand, Dubai, India, Australia, Costa Rica Europe, Cuba, USA and Canada.
I am a mother of a 10-year-old boy and my hobbies are cooking, meditation and exercise.Me as a Teacher
I am an experienced English & Spanish teacher. I am passionate about helping people to understand and communicate in Spanish.
I personalize the program to your needs and special requirements. Likewise, I like to use real-life materials and examples and guide you into lots of practice. I focus on drills and examples, then conversation, listening skills and then writing.
I have extensive experience working as a Certified Accountant in large corporations, and I have taught Spanish to business executives from different nationalities. I know about finance, marketing, accounting, and sales. I have also taught Mexican business protocol. My lessons & teaching style
My teaching style is relaxed, friendly, mostly conversational, I focus on communication first, so you feel confident in the new language, then we review grammar, listening and writing.
I would like to know your needs and expectations so I can craft a unique program just for you.My teaching material
