Hello! I’m Alicia, a bilingual English tutor fluent in *both* English and Spanish, thanks to my multicultural upbringing. Born and raised in the U.S. with a neutral accent, I specialize in helping teens and adults master *natural* conversational English—think idioms, phrasal verbs, and real-life chats! When I’m not teaching, you’ll find me cooking, binge-watching films and series, or geeking out over history. Let’s make learning fun. 🌍☕

Me as a Teacher

I am a qualified teacher with a TEFL certificate and have seven years of experience working with English language learners in both American public schools and online. I have worked with students of all ages and backgrounds. When I worked in American public schools, I supported English learners from elementary to high school. I supported English learners that had immigrated to the United States, so I understand the struggle of learning a new language and trying to adapt to a new culture. As an online teacher, I have met with hundreds of students from different countries, and mainly adults and teenagers. I also worked in human resources and a trainer for three years.

My lessons & teaching style

I am here to provide support in your language learning journey. I provide a friendly, safe, and welcoming virtual classroom. As a teacher, I am patient, encouraging, and supportive. Mistakes are welcome because making mistakes is part of learning. Lessons are customized to fit your interests, needs, and goals. I will provide corrections regarding grammar, sentence structure, pronunciation, and natural phrasing. I am excited to help you! Grab a coffee, tea, or water - and see you in class!
