"As a teacher, I have three important priorities: to help students to improve their English or Spanish communication and comprehension skills, to build their self-confidence in speaking, reading and writing, and to enjoy learning. I care deeply about my students' interests and goals, and that guides what and how we study.

I think that learning should be both interesting and fun. I want my students to love learning as much as I love teaching. I graduated at Universidad Metropolitana, Caracas, Venezuela in 1980 with a grade point average of 4.50/5, and graduated with honors in Child Development and Bilingual Studies at Santa Monica College, California, USA.

As a professionally trained ESL teacher, I can teach students all aspects of the English language including speaking, conversation and presentation, reading and listening comprehension, grammar, vocabulary, writing, for Preschool and Elementary students.

I have more than 30 years of teaching experience with children and youth. I am patient, friendly, responsible and dedicated to my students' educational progress and enjoyment of learning.

Hablo español y tengo experiencia y especialidad en la enseñanza de inglés a los hablantes nativos de español y castellano. Por favor, escríbeme en español si prefieres.
