About Me

With hands-on experience in English language instruction, cultural orientation, and administrative support, I bring a well-rounded skill set and a deep passion for language education that aligns with your language learning mission and values.

In my recent role, I designed ESL lesson plans and curricula tailored to newly arrived clients and students, emphasizing essential language skills, job readiness, and cultural integration. I played a key role in both in-person and online student enrollment and facilitated ESOL classes to provide individualized needs-based instruction.

Beyond the classroom, I ensured the smooth operation of administrative processes by managing student records, conducting data entry, and coordinating academic advising appointments. I also supported graduate school application processes by handling confidential materials, organizing letters of recommendation, and facilitating communication between students and their committees.

My instructional responsibilities extended to leading micro-teaching sessions both online and in person for undergraduate students and professors. These sessions showcased my ability to implement effective teaching strategies, develop targeted lesson plans, and create instructional materials for diverse classroom environments.

To me, ESL/EFL instruction is about building bridges across cultures and empowering learners with practical, confident communication skills. I strive to foster intercultural competence while ensuring each learner progresses at their own pace through a responsive and inclusive approach. I’m also committed to continuous professional development through workshops, mentorships, and up-to-date instructional practices.

I am senegalese , Professor, Linguist and Wolof language specialist. I am a Wolof native speaker .
Learn and speak Wolof easily with me. I offer individual and group lessons.
My methodology is to base myself on the courses in a structural and clear way, accessible to my learners to give them quality teaching and a total understanding of the courses in a cordial and satisfying atmosphere.
I also give documents and homework every end of a session in order to allow my students to practice.

Wolof is the most spoken language in Senegal, Gambia where it has been enriched by the contributions of other dialects, Arabic and French, which remains the official language. It is experiencing a cultural expansion in the country and is also present in Gambia and Mauritania.

So to facilitate your integration into Senegalese, Gambian society; it is essential to go through this language because it is the vernacular although there are several beautiful local Senegal- Gambian languages but Wolof remains the most used language. this is why I propose to teach the beauty of this language which is my specialty and my mother tongue, I also teach Senegalese and Gambian culture and civilization.

Learning Wolof offers anyone who wishes to get to know Senegal, in a professional, cultural or touristic context, to establish privileged contact with its population.

My method is very simple, I start by teaching you the most common and used words and expressions. Then slowly the formation of sentences, conjugation, grammar but also you how to pronounce each word well and know their positions in the sentence.
Thanks to my very simple and effective teaching methodology, the student can manage to form sentences in Wolof very easily from our first lesson.

I have already trained hundreds of students all over the world to speak, hold a conversation or communicate and write Wolof. What is more fascinating is while taking my lessons I noticed most of my students speak Wolof with a very clear accent in Wolof because I often insist on phonetics.

I also want to inform my learners that apart from online courses, I organize language visits and tours in Senegal; for those who wish to travel in order to practice and discover Senegal with special packages.

Je suis sénégalai , Professeur, Linguiste et Spécialiste de la langue wolof . Apprenez et parlez facilement le wolof avec moi. Je propose des cours individuels et collectifs.
Ma méthodologie est de me baser sur les cours de manière structurelle et claire , accessible à mes apprenants pour leurs donner un enseignement de qualité et une compréhension totale des cours dans une atmosphère cordiale et satisfaisante.

Ma méthode est très simple, je commence par vous apprendre les mots et les expressions les plus courants et les plus utilisés. Ensuite doucement la formation des phrases, la conjugaison, la grammaire mais aussi vous comment bien prononcer chaque mots et connaître leurs positions dans la phrase.
Grâce à ma méthodologie d’enseignement très simple et efficace l’élève peut parvenir à former des phrases en wolof très facilement dès notre premier cours .
J’ai déjà formé des centaines d’élèves un peu partout dans le monde à parler, à tenir une conversation ou communiquer et à écrire le Wolof. Ce qui est plus fascinant c’est en prenant mes cours j’ai remarqué la plupart de mes élèves parlent Wolof avec un accent très clair en wolof car j’insiste souvent sur la phonétique.

Je donne aussi des documents et des exercices à la fin de chaque cours pour permettre aux apprenants de pratiquer.

Je tiens aussi à informer mes apprenants qu'en-dehors des cours en ligne, j'organise des visites linguistiques et tours au Senegal; pour ceux qui souhaitent voyager afin de pratiquer et découvrir le Sénégal avec des forfaits spéciaux.

N’HÉSITEZ PAS À RÉSERVER DIRECTEMENT UN COURS AFIN QUE JE PUISSE VOUS EXPLIQUER ET VOUS INITIEZ À LA LANGUE WOLOF.

Hello! I am excited to teach English to children and adults to support learning through hands on, engaging lessons. I am a native English speaker, and educator of more than 10 years. I am passionate and experienced in teaching reading and phonics, providing support in developing speaking and listening skills, and creating simple and more developed writing pieces. I have worked with students who have mild to severe learning differences and cognitive delays, so I am passionate about accommodating learning to meet you or your child where you/they are at in the learning journey. I am a credentialed educator with an additional Master's degree in Family and Community Education. I have taught Kindergarten, as well as led instruction to students aged 4-18 in small group sessions, as well as individualised tutoring sessions. I am also experienced in teaching English to adults.
Learning is a personal experience and I hope to be able to provide support in nurturing the love of learning.

I have studied Philologie in the University in Spain

I trained as a Spanish Teacher for Foreigners in Germany.

I can speak English and German fluently, so there will be no difficulty in the teacher-student relationship.

You can get good results with me, both if you want to learn or to improve your Spanish, whatever your goal:

• To obtain a DELE diploma from any level.
• To improve your Erasmus experience.

I teach for all levels, grammar or conversation with personalized methodology to the age, mother language and previous studies of the student.

I take as a point of reference the level and the goal that the student wants to achieve in order to apply one or another method.

In case of group lessons, the price can be different.

During our studies, it sometimes happens that we experience academic difficulties.

Based on the teacher's work, I offer tailored support. This would help the student overcome obstacles and address their weaknesses.

The ideal parent is one who can identify academic problems and communicate them to the private tutor.
Whereas the ideal student is the one who dares to say when he has not understood, without fear of judgment.

Trusting the teacher is key: they offer an opportunity not only to acquire basic academic and cultural knowledge, but also to learn how to live in a community. In this way, the student can become a good citizen and develop their autonomy and self-directed learning skills.

Each week, we will schedule a one-hour meeting. The goal will be to define a learning objective and a problem, using a specific method.

Regarding the time and duration of the work, it all depends on the student's request. I would be happy to discuss this point further by phone or video conference.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.
