I am an American citizen born in Buenos Aires and raised in both The U.S.A and Argentina. I have lived in Buenos Aires, California, Connecticut, and right now I live in Arizona.
I love to travel and learn about different cultures and share my American and Latin background with my students.
I have developed an ACCENT REDUCTION program that is popular with students from all around the world. My international business experience has taught me that the goal of many students is to be able to speak with a Standard American English accent. Students find that having a Standard American Accent makes them more successful in business, school and social situations.
Qualifications & Experience
I have a TESOL certificate, a Behavioral Health Technician Degree, and I am an Interpreter and Translator in many different fields including legal, medical and conferences. I have done these jobs for over 20 years.
I started teaching English as a Second Language in 1993 to students from beginners to advanced, and teachers who wanted to learn teaching methodology and improve their pronunciation skills.
I have prepared students for TOEFL iBT, G-TELP (General Test of English Language Proficiency) with San Diego State University, taught crash courses for travelers, and business people who needed to travel to the States.
Teaching Approach
I like to teach according to the students’ need, utilizing a fun methodology and everyday life situations.
I also offer Accent Reduction classes and conversation classes. My goal is to have fun while teaching a second language.
