Above all, you will have valuable practice and also see if my teaching methods are suitable for you.
I can't wait to work with you to help you along your language learning journey. Thank you for your consideration!

Beginner to advanced learners of all ages are welcome! 

The lessons are adapted to your needs and interests. I use a variety of audiovisual materials and incorporate worksheets and homework that are specific for each student according to their needs and wants. If you need to refine your composition skills for work purposes, then the lessons will focus on reading and writing skills in accordance with writing conventions in a professional setting. If you would like to feel more confident speaking to native speakers, then the lessons will revolve around conversational topics along with speaking and listening skills. If you simply want to improve your overall proficiency, then we will take a holistic approach and integrate all the skills into the lessons and post-lesson practice (homework!). In summary, the language learning plan is a collaborative process and is adapted according to the results that you wish to attain!

The first lesson / trial lesson serves as a diagnostic tool to help identify language gaps, specify preferences and interests, and discuss goals and how to best approach the lessons so that you may receive a more personalized learning experience that will help you achieve them. 

Lesson packages include a personalized learning plan, learning materials, writing assessments and feedback outside of lesson time, and a free speaking assessment after every 5 lessons. Since you've read up to this point, it's evident that you are serious about improving your language skills. So, what are you waiting for?

Proofreading Service

I received a 'Pass' certification assessment in a 175 CELTA course in Montañita Ecuador during a 5 week period.

I obtained a Master's in Curriculum and Instruction with a concentration on Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages in order to enrich my pedagogic capabilities, better understand the process of language acquisition, learn and employ other methods and approaches in language teaching, and to further dedicate myself to my career as a language instructor.

My pre-graduate studies focused on the use of language as a communicative tool in mass media, journalism, radio, television and cinema. I also obtained a Minor in Hispanic Studies.

I worked as a conversation teacher to Ecuadorian language learners of all levels and ages, which provided me with a wide array of classroom experiences. Because of the relaxed and communicative focus of the courses, we were able to have fun while learning developing fruitful student-teacher connections, which is my professional objective as an italki teacher.

This experience will help me guide and engage students who are tasked with taking the FCE for Schools exam (CEFR: B2) because I know how to make the course materials interesting, relevant to the students' context and objectives, authentic, challenging and enjoyable with the creative use of games and activities.

University teaching demands dedication to the teaching craft, a high degree of professionalism and consistent practice of sound pedagogical approaches to instruction. Teaching at UDEP undoubtedly enriched my understanding of what it means to be a teacher and helped me recognize the challenges that students ages 16-22 face by balancing their studies, work, and personal circumstances. Many students choose italki to learn a language to achieve that balance, and I can help them be productive!

I was allowed full freedom to design my courses, choose my materials, administer students and teach lessons during my time in Zamora, a small city in the Ecuadorean jungle. Due to this experience, I know how to maintain teacher autonomy and creatively design entire courses to maximize the students' opportunities to achieve their learning objectives, which carries over well in digital instruction too.

Until recently I was working at the local university in the city I live in as a full-time language instructor. In addition to the duties as a language instructor to students studying to be language teachers themselves ("Pedagogía de idiomas nacionales y extranjeros) were also to design courses on digital learning platforms, direct theses, revise academic texts, and carry out research projects.

This trial lesson is designed for learners of any age and level. We’ll use this time to get to know each other, assess your English skills, and set clear learning goals. The class will include a short conversation, level-appropriate activities, and personalized feedback. By the end of the trial, you’ll have a clear study plan that matches your needs and learning style.

Improve your conversation with a native speaker. In this class, we will have a conversation about any topic.

Business English

I am currently studying the first year of my Interior Design diploma, where I am building a solid foundation in design principles, space planning, and color theory. I’m gaining hands-on experience with design software and learning how to create functional, visually appealing spaces. I’m eager to continue developing my creativity and technical skills throughout my studies.

During my training at Berlitz, I learned the Berlitz Method, which focuses on immersive language learning and real-world communication. I gained valuable skills in fostering conversational fluency, promoting active learning, and using dynamic teaching techniques to keep students engaged. The training also emphasized cultural sensitivity and adaptability, enabling me to tailor lessons to the unique needs of students from diverse backgrounds and proficiency levels.

I completed a 120-hour TEFL/TESOL certification at Dux TEFL, where I learned the fundamentals of teaching English, including lesson planning, classroom management, and language acquisition techniques. I also completed a 60-hour advanced course focusing on effective online teaching methods, which equipped me with strategies to engage students in virtual settings and deliver interactive, personalized lessons

At Berlitz, I taught English to students from Japan, ranging from beginners to advanced levels, in a dynamic, immersive environment. I used the Berlitz method, focusing on conversational practice, language immersion, and real-life application. My experience with Japanese students helped me develop a tailored approach, ensuring every lesson was engaging and effective in improving their language skills and boosting their confidence.

At LatinHire, I taught English to students from South America, Turkey, and Russia, focusing on enhancing their conversational skills and overall language proficiency. I tailored lesson plans to meet the unique needs of each student, adapting to different cultural backgrounds and proficiency levels. This experience allowed me to develop a flexible teaching approach, ensuring effective learning and helping students achieve their language goals.

I have experience handling many responsibilities.I performed customer service duties such as answering the telephone and speaking to customers. If English students are now entering the world of work or just need help with vocabulary or they want to practice role playing these scenarios, I can help.
I also managed two projects for the company. So if students need guidance with their English as to communicating with co-workers and managers alike, i can assist.

I worked on the marketing for the company. So I managed marketing and advertising reports, also all social media ( Facebook, LinkedIn ) marketing activities.  So if students need assistance with their English in the areas of marketing and advertising, I can help.

Dealt with customers involving the legal incorporation of businesses. If students need help with some business law terms in English, I can help.

I handled data entry responsibilities. So if students need help with data entry  and insurance terms, I can be of assistance.

It usually feels very scary to book a first lesson. Maybe you have had bad experiences with English learning in the past. Perhaps it feels strange to meet a stranger on a computer. And of course - trying something new is always scary! And I'm a new person and learning English this way - may be a new thing for you! 

But please don't worry! You're not alone. Nearly EVERYONE feels this way. It was the same for me when I had my first online class. 

I will bring care and empathy to every lesson, and especially the first one. In the trial lesson, I won't be evaluating you. I will not correct your mistakes on our first call together. 

Instead - my intention is that you feel comfortable and relaxed. I want you to see what I am like as a teacher, and I want to get to know you! 

I know your abilities are better than they will appear in this first class, because you will probably be nervous. That's totally normal! We're humans! 

I will listen without judgement and offer a lot of empathy. I will let you speak. I will give you the opportunity to really be heard.

This will allow us to see if working together makes sense. If we decide to continue with another class, what you share in the trial lesson will help me design personalized classes for you - based on your interests, lifestyle needs, goals, strengths, and challenges. 

I hope this makes sense. If you don't understand anything, or if you have any questions - please message me!!!

I look forward to meeting you soon!

Getting personalized support with your MINDSET, focusing on your STRENGTHS, and following your INTERESTS... will help you stay MOTIVATED as you learn.

Finding the PRACTICES & SYSTEMS that work for you... will allow you feel CALM & CONFIDENT as you work on your English.

Moving at YOUR OWN SPEED and ENJOYING THE RIDE... will ensure that you get where you want to go!!!

As a coach and teacher, I will be like a personal trainer or GPS for your learning journey. 

I will help you get to your desired destination – more quickly and easily – while making sure you enjoy the ride!

Booking a trial lesson is the best way to get started. Feeling afraid to take that step is normal! But when we meet, I will make sure you feel relaxed. That's my job! All you need to do is have the courage to show up. To attend. 

You can do it! 

I can't wait to meet you!

GETTING UNSTUCK: Coaching to get where you want to go

For many people, even native English speakers, "small talk" is boring.

If you're learning English and you're someone who prefers to talk about deeper, more personal or meaningful topics -- small talk can be very unpleasant. 

I understand! That's how I feel. I don't like talking about the weather or what I did yesterday or what I am going to do for vacation/holiday.

Instead, I like to hear what people really think, what they have experienced in their lives, and what they care about.

I give students the opportunity to talk about what they LIKE to talk about. Things that interest them. What they like to think and learn about. Their lives. Their world. 

Getting a chance to actually converse, in English, might be just what you're missing - and it can help build your confidence and increase your motivation.

My students are usually people who like to learn - and outside of class they enjoy learning about psychology, philosophy, personal growth, art, creativity, entrepreneurship, and many other things. 

In our classes, I provide a space for students to talk about these topics - to engage with the material they watch or listen to. To share what they're learning and what it means to them. 

I hope you'll try out these classes - and tell me what you REALLY think! Let's engage in interesting conversations IN ENGLISH!

GETTING REAL: Conversations for people who don't like small talk

- Every few months, you will be re-assessed and your course will be updated for new goals and needs.
- Optional Homework will be assigned.
-Due to the intense nature of this program, we recomment taking no more than two lessons per week.
