I pride myself on creating an enjoyable learning atmosphere in which students learn practical skills without feeling inhibited about making mistakes, as that is part of learning a new language, and believe me, I make them every day! I have a good sense of humor and many of my students say they forget we are having a class because the time passes so quickly. I enjoy traveling, music, arts, literature, food, and learning about other cultures.

I am a native English instructor living in Mexico and have been employed as such for 8 years. I have worked for several local and international companies as well as giving online instruction. These assignments have ranged from professionals in the banking, computer, insurance, marketing, human resources, alternative energy, business, and manufacturing fields. I have taught beginning classes to advanced speakers using a variety of resources. I very much enjoy teaching a new language and being a second language learner myself, I understand the pitfalls that plague ESL students. I tailor lessons to students according to their personal needs and interests
