About

I am a professional Certified ESL Online Teacher with a BA in English granted by Universidad Hispana from Utah, USA. With over 17 years of experience in the field of education, I have honed my skills in various educational settings including schools, universities, and local language institutes. I have also provided private Spanish tutoring to individuals from American, British, and Dutch backgrounds. Since 2012, I have been a member of the Translators registered at the US Embassy in Bolivia, working on diverse translation projects. In 2019, I earned my TEFL Advanced Certificate and have been teaching ESL online for over 4 years. My teaching philosophy incorporates dynamic motivation and audio-visual tools to enhance learning experiences. I am passionate about helping students achieve their language goals and am willing to relocate to continue my job experience journey.

Online Spanish Tutor

I give Spanish classes to elementary and middle school students from the US. Schools have Spanish Online and students have 30 to 45 minutes classes. It is not a one-on-one session because of the number of students at school and it will vary from 10 to 25 students.
