Bio:
With 25 years of experience, passion for languages and a deep love for human connection, I help learners transform their relationship with languages from hesitation to confidence. I bring practical, experiential methods that focus on speaking and listening from day one. Whether you're shy, stuck, or simply starting out, I create personalized, inspiring learning journeys grounded in culture, community, and real-world communication. Let's unlock your potential... one conversation at a time.
My teaching methodology:
As for my method, it is based on a simple idea: Languages are learned through communication, not perfection. Instead of focusing only on grammar corrections or heavy theory, I try to create opportunities for people to use the language in meaningful and enjoyable ways. That's why my activities involve roleplay, storytelling, vocabulary exploration, shadowing practice, and open conversations. The goal is to help learners build confidence, communicate naturally, and enjoy the process. If you'd like personalized support and speaking practice, I'd be delighted to work with you.
My teaching background:
Over 25 years, I've developed a deep passion for languages. My experience spans beginners taking their first steps, intermediate students building confidence, and advanced speakers refining skills for professional or personal growth. Working with learners from diverse backgrounds and age groups has sharpened my ability to adapt to each individual. My approach is experiential and practical (centered on speaking and listening from day one) because real acquisition happens through real conversation. I'm also an active contributor on open platforms like Tandem and HelloTalk, where I've helped build "Polyglots Inc.", a vibrant global community of language learners. Whether you feel shy, stuck, or unmotivated, I create a safe, encouraging space where progress feels natural. My goal: help every learner find their voice and use it with confidence.
My background outside of teaching:
I'm a senior executive with 25+ years of experience in market research, consulting, technology, and strategic planning across Latin America and other regions. I've worked with global giants like IDC, Oracle, SAP, Microsoft, and HP, presenting to C-level executives and leading high-impact projects across the region. I speak six languages (Spanish, English, Italian, Portuguese, Chinese, French and Polish), proof that language learning is a lifelong, life-changing journey. My background in psychology, intercultural communication, leadership, and human relations makes me a uniquely well-rounded teacher. I don't just understand language... I understand people. If you're looking for a teacher with real-world depth, global perspective, and the communication skills of a seasoned executive, you've found your match.
