About the store
My career in English language education spans over 17 years and tells the story of someone who never stopped growing. I began at Alianza Cultural Uruguay–Estados Unidos, where I not only taught ESL but went on to mentor and evaluate other teachers, eventually becoming a Teacher Educator, a role I loved! From 2015 to 2024, I took on one of my most defining chapters as both Teacher and Co-director at Global English Uruguay, where I helped shape the school's academic culture, trained incoming teachers, and prepared students for some of the world's most demanding English exams: FCE, CPE, IELTS, and TOEFL. During those same years, I built a rich parallel career delivering in-company English courses to professionals at organisations ranging from tech startups to global names. In 2022 I joined International House, and by 2024 I had taken on two simultaneous roles at an International company: first as the teacher who designed and launched the company's entire in-house English program (building it from nothing and teaching everyone from junior staff to C-level executives) and then, as stepping into the role of Office Manager, overseeing operations, HR support, vendor relationships, travel logistics, and company-wide events. Alongside my work at this International Company, I have been teaching 12th grade students at one of Montevideo's most prestigious schools, delivering the IGCSE program and guiding students through one of the most rigorous international curricula available at secondary level. It is a role I take enormous pride in, preparing young people not just to pass an internationally recognised exam, but to think critically, write precisely, and communicate with genuine confidence in English. Also at Instituto Crandon I prepare Senior students for the ECPE exam, bringing the same high standards and personalised approach that has defined my teaching throughout my career.

Teaching style

Step into my classroom and you immediately sense that this is a space where people feel safe enough to take risks. My approach is learner-centred at its core, I listen before I teach, adapt before I plan, and design every lesson around the people in the room rather than the content on the page. I believe language is learned by doing, not by watching, which is why my classes are built around real communication, immersive activities, and the kind of meaningful participation that builds genuine confidence over time. Whether I am working with a group of teenagers preparing for the ECPE or IGCSE, a team of corporate professionals who need English for client calls, or a C-level executive navigating international negotiations, I love making the material feel relevant and the learning feel personal. Technology is a natural extension of my classroom, not an afterthought. I use digital tools to create interactive experiences, track progress, and keep learning engaging. And because I have spent years mentoring other teachers, I bring a reflective quality to my own practice: I know what good teaching looks like from the inside out.

My own education history

My own education is, in many ways, a reflection of the curiosity and commitment I bring to my students. It began with a transformative semester as a high school exchange student in California in 2004, an experience that gave me first-hand knowledge of what it means to live and learn in another language, and one that has quietly informed my empathy as a teacher ever since. Back in Uruguay, In 2005, I sat the University of Michigan's Certificate of Proficiency in English and passed. I earned my Certificate of Teacher of English (EFL) in 2006, followed by my Diploma of Teacher of English a year later, awarded in collaboration with the University of Maryland, a credential that speaks to both the rigour of my training and my early commitment to professional excellence. In 2008 I added a Diploma in Translation from Anglo in Montevideo, broadening my linguistic range beyond the classroom. And in January 2025, I travelled to Indiana, USA for a Teacher Exchange Program, proof that after nearly two decades in education, I am still seeking new perspectives and bringing them back to my students.
