Passion for Teaching!
With over 16 years of teaching experience in Chile, my primary focus has been imparting a second language to children. However, I also hold valuable experience in teaching adults through conversation-based learning classes. Teaching Spanish, my native language, has been particularly rewarding.
About Me.
Hi! I want to tell you a little bit about my story. I started my studies at Alliance Française, a Franch School. I spent my childhood there and later continued my studies in a school with an intensive focus on English. I graduated as a Professional Pedagogue in Kindergarten Education and also as a primary school teacher. Then, I decided to go a step further and started studying for a Master's degree in teaching English as a second language, a journey that taught me the essentials for teaching children both in their country and anywhere in the world! During my career, I have been the head teacher in several schools.
Before the world changed with the pandemic, I threw myself into the exciting task of homeschooling children from Christian families and teaching private English classes. The pandemic challenged us, but it led me to explore different ways of teaching online. This resulted in the creation of my own methodology and the founding of an online academy to teach English to Spanish speakers, "Home Class Academy".Today, I am excited to bring that same methodology to those who wish to learn Spanish. We have seen how quickly our students learn and are eager to share that same experience with many more.
