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 specialize in calm, confidence-building conversation classes for adults who care about:
• sounding natural (not textbook)
• expressing their real personality in English
• talking about travel, relationships, wellness, work, spirituality, and everyday life
My background in yoga, holistic wellness, and cross-cultural living means our classes feel more like a thoughtful café conversation than a cold classroom. You’ll feel safe, seen, and gently challenged.
If you want soft structure, real connection, and steady pro
Ik als leerkracht
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
• people rebuilding confidence
• 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.
Mijn lessen en manier van lesgeven
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. 🌿
