My teaching background:
Back in 2020 during the pandemic, I started teaching online for the first time because I was doing community service to graduate from my second major in Mass communications & Journalism. I started teaching 6th-grade students all kinds of subjects: Spanish, math, and history, from there I found out I enjoy teaching online. Then I started looking into online teaching platforms and I still teach English on another one called Preply, and here I am. I have also taught Spanish, and during my travels, I've been teaching Spanish. In total, I have been teaching for 3 years, I completed a TEFL certificate of 150. In the beginning, I was focusing on TPR, but over time I was getting and working with all kinds of students that are looking into conversational. I have also worked with students looking into pronunciation, general learning, vocabulary, and business English, and I have worked with all ages from young learners to elderly, with me there's no age preference.
My background outside of teaching:
Aside from teaching languages, and as someone that studied Mass Communications. I've also freelanced and I'm still freelancing as a Digital Marketer.
