Oscar Navas : English

I am an Information Technology Professional with a passion for teaching. Ever since I landed my first EFL job back in my native El Salvador as a part-time job to pay for my Engineering studies, I knew I wanted to be a Teacher as well. I love my profession but I also love teaching. I used to teach Computer Science in English as well while I was working for IBM in my home country.

And yes, my native language is Spanish but I have taught English for years, to various levels, to people from various regions in the world and I am confident I can do a great job.

Although my sessions are in English and tailored for students of any mother tongue, it is an advantage to speak Spanish to assist Spanish speaking students at lower levels.

My method is highly adaptable and communicative and although I have taught young students, my aim is to help adults of all ages and professionals to improve their English. I have taught people at higher levels in the last 5 years, mainly, those who wish to migrate or study at Universities abroad and need to take one of the most popular tests ( i.e. IELTS, PTE, TOEFL) Also, I have conducted English sessions to professionals since I am also a manager, I provide assistance and advice in related areas.
