I have a degree in psychology with a minor in Spanish. I hold a master's degree in Transactional Analysis, a sub-field of psychology. My hobbies include salsa music, watching movies, traveling, biking, swimming, and exercising. Before becoming an independent teacher, I taught English at a public school in Oakland, California. Previously, I served as a sales manager for a travel agency in both Mexico and California.
For lessons, I begin with a diagnostic session to understand your goals, needs, and interests. This is basically an evaluation so I can see what your "wants and needs" are, as well as your goals, requirements, interests, and we'll go from there. At the end of the first session I will give you an estimate as to the timeline needed to reach your objectives.
My teaching methodologies include L1-L2, Grammar, Direct Method, Communicative Approach, Eclectic Approach, Intensive Conversational Method, and Role-Play Workshops (especially useful for practicing job interviews and presentations).
I specialize in General English, Business English, IELTS, and English for healthcare professionals. Typically, it takes two to three months to reach C1 level from B1-B2. I offer tailored classes, emphasizing collocations, grammar, sentence structure, speech, informal colloquial (spoken) language, phrasal verbs, idiomatic expressions, and verb-preposition usage. I also use a lot of exercises, free conversations, discussion topics, role plays and some grammar if and when needed.
Most of my students are native Spanish speakers as I am fully bilingual. Feel free to reach out so we can discuss how I can assist you with your specific plans!
