TEACHING EXPERIENCE

I've taught English in Spain and Spanish in the US for over 5 years to primary, secondary, post-secondary, and adult language learners. I love learning languages, and I love teaching others to do the same!

MY TEACHING STYLE

I use a communicative, task-based methodology in my classroom. I also try to incorporate my own interests in playing and designing games--if I'm motivated to have fun in the classroom, my students are, too!
