English only! The best way to learn English is to speak it... And with me as teacher, that starts right here!

Practice your conversational English in online classes. Beginner, intermediate, or advanced? Let’s chat, and you will soon feel more confident in your skills.

I believe in “immersion teaching”. That means you can’t use Spanish when you don’t understand something. But don’t worry!

I have worked with people from many countries. Some spoke English very well. Some not much at all. We can keep the lessons simple. Or we can be more ambitious. Whatever works for you!

If you don’t understand everything in this profile, you can use Google Translate… but *only this one time*! In our classes, we will adjust to your level. We can schedule the classes when you want to, and organise them how you want to. You will learn more English without it ever feeling like homework!

I have dedicated a 25-year international career to working in the English language. I have worked as a writer, copy editor and proofreader, academic researcher, and content marketer. On the iBT TOEFL (Test Of English as a Foreign Language), I scored 117 out of 120. That’s a solid C2.

I don’t have all the formal qualifications you will see in some of the other profiles here, but I will be able to help you improve your English, and we’ll make it fun! Language is fascinating, and I believe that learning a new language should be about the joy of discovery.
